9. Place one hand on the thickness control
knob and the other hand away from the
blade. Then slowly turn the thickness
control knob clockwise until the sharpening
stone lightly contacts the rear facet of the
rotating blade as shown in Figure 11. You
will be able to hear when it first contacts
the blade. It will be slightly noisy. Maintain
the stone in steady but light contact with
the blade edge for 30-40 seconds. Then
promptly turn the thickness control knob
counterclockwise to full open position in
order to move the stone away from its
contact with the blade. Turn "off" the power
switch and unplug the slicer cord from the
power outlet. You have now completed the
first step of sharpening the rear facet of
the blade. This leaves a light burr along the
front face of the blade, which must now be
removed in Steps 10 through 14.
10. Keeping the hand and fingers away
from the blade, carefully remove the
sharpener by rotating the forward retaining
pin upward and then lightly pulling the
sharpener pins out of the two supporting
holes. Place the sharpener on the table.
11. Turn the thickness control knob full clock-
wise, which will close fully the thickness
control plate, and "cover" the blade edge.
12. Remount the sharpener on the thickness
control plate as in Step 6 on page 10 and
make certain its forward mounting pin is rotated down tightly to seat fully in its slot. The sharpening
stone must now be in front of the blade (see Figure 12) but the stone should not at this point be
touching the blade edge.
13. Insert the plug in power outlet and, with hands clear of the blade, turn on the slicer.
