Sharpening

• First present the blade when the grindstone

is revolving.

• Always draw the knife or scissors back, from the blade stop, in an even

movement, not in a repetitive back and forth movement – otherwise the

result will be an uneven sharpening.

• Do not apply any great pressure and always sharpen only clean blades,

so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grindstone.

• Always sharpen knives and scissors so that the blade is at an acute angle

to the grindstone (as alluded to in the shape of the opening). Sharpening

at the false angle can destroy any blade.

• After sharpening, remove any possible grinding remnants that may be on

the blade with a moist cloth.

Knife with smooth edge

If you have selected the setting "Knife with smooth edge"

(Fig. B):

• Always sharpen knives with a smooth edge on both sides – for this, left

and right side sharpening guides are available.

• In the left guide hold the knife inclined to the left, and in the right guide

inclined to the right, whilst drawing the blade through.

Knife with serrated edge

If you have selected the setting "Knife with serrated edge"

(Fig. C):

• Sharpen these only on the side with the serration – the draw through

direction for the knife is dependant on which side of the blade this is on.

The side with the serrated edge must be pointing in the direction of the

grindstone

during sharpening.

• In general, serrated blades can only be sharpened up to a point. Knifes

with a fine sawtoothing (e.g. table knives) do not require sharpening.
