• If you only need to maintain the sharpness of your knife you should use the
left wheel with ceramic pins.
• The wheels start rotating when you press the switch and stops when you
release. Never stick your fingers into the rotating wheels.
For best result do as follows:
Using the diamond wheel
• Start the machine by keeping the switch pressed down.
• Place the knife blade close to the handle with a DISTINCT pressure so that
the knife blade is pressed to the wheel. Draw the knife slowly in a smooth
movement towards you during 3-4 seconds.
• It is important to position the knife straight in track during the sharpening
process.
• Avoid to press the knife too hard so that the number of revolutions
decreases considerably.
• Repeat until desired sharpness is maintained.
• Wipe the knife blade after.
• Polish the knife edge in the ceramic wheel.
