Minosharp 550 Directions For Use

Direction for use

Pour water into the compartment of the sharpener and keep it there during
sharpening operation. The water in the wheel compartment serves always to rinse the
1.
revolving ceramic whetstones and to prevent over-heating the knife blade. The
sharpener should always be rinsed with clean water by removing the cover after use.
2. To keep the sharpener steady, firmly grip the handle with one hand.
Next, place the knife blade vertically into groove No.1 COARSE with Blue, and move
the blade back and forth with SLIGHT PRESSURE 7 or 8 times, or as necessary.
NO HEAVY PRESSURE IS REQUIRED.
3.
Next, place the knife blade vertically into groove No.2 MEDIUM with Brown wheel,
4. and move the blade back and forth with SLIGHT PRESSURE 7 or 8 times, or as
necessary.
Next, place the knife blade vertically into No.3 FINE with Yellow wheel, and move the
blade back and forth with SLIGHT PRESSURE 7 or 8 times.
It is very important not to apply too much pressure when passing the knife through the
5. sharpener, as doing so may cause damage to the wheels.
If undue pressure is applied, the wheels may break or become damaged. Such damage
will not be covered under our warranty, but replacement wheels are generally
available to purchase.
When sharpening is complete please hand wash knife in hot water and carefully dry
6.
with a dry towel or cloth before use.
