- Page 3 UNDERSTANDING THE MODEL 601 SHARPENER ® The Chef’sChoice sharpener Model 601 is designed to sharpen slicing blades of most household electric food slicers while the blade remains mounted on the slicer. To sharpen the slicer blade, the sharpener is positioned as shown below (Fig.1) on the food carriage where it is hand held simultaneously against the carriage push bar and the thickness control plate.
- Page 4 The Model 601, shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, is designed to sharpen the slicer blade facet at an angle of 30° measured to the face of the blade. Conventionally, slicer blades have only one edge facet and it is located on the back side of the blade. This sharpener is designed to sharpen either fine edge or serrated edge blades.

Page 5: Using The Sharpener
USING THE SHARPENER Before sharpening the slicer blade, clean the blade thoroughly, following the manufacturers recommendations, but giving special attention to cleaning the blade on each side of the cutting edge and the edge facet area. Caution: Remember the edge may be very sharp. A tooth brush or a sponge wet with a mild detergent can be used to clean the blade. - Page 6 3. Then open the thickness control plate fully to its maximum open position as shown in Figure 5. While still holding the face of the sharpener against the push bar, slide the sharpener left along the push bar until its end face contacts and aligns with and against the thickness control plate as shown.
- Page 7 5. Move the thickness control plate slowly toward the blade which will move the sharpening disk into contact with the facet on the back of the blade edge as shown in Figure 7. As necessary, advance or withdraw the food carriage slightly to position the sharpening disk lightly in contact with the blade edge.
- Page 8 REMOVING THE BURR Sharpening of the blade facet leaves a small burr on the front side of the edge which must be removed. To remove the burr: 1. Lift your thumb from behind the push bar and push the actuator rod, as in Figure 8, forward toward your right which will move the de-burring pad to the left.
- Page 9 4. Turn the power “OFF.” 5. Verify that the burr has been eliminated. See Figures 10 and 11. If the burr has not been fully removed, repeat the above burr-removal steps until the burr is gone. Remove the sharpener from the food carriage and clean the dark sharpening debris from the area on each side of the blade edge.
- Page 10 as shown, a safe distance from the slicer blade. Turn on the power and advance the food carriage slowly so that the paper advances into the rotating blade edge. The blade, if sharp, will slice the paper well as it is advanced. If it does not, you should resharpen the blade and repeat this test.

For your convenience, try to retain the nut on the screw as you slide the disk upward to the high position.You can determine the correct up and down posi- tions by sensing when the washer behind the sharpening disk seats solidly into the upper or lower molded circular recess.
