5.3 Function

The SM-110 consist of two, the SM-111 of three function groups.
Knife grinding and honing machine SM-110 and SM-111
SM-110 and SM-111 consists of a grinding device with two grinding wheels
[2-1] and a honing device with two counter-rotating honing wheels [2-2].
The knife grinding and honing machine SM-111 also has a polishing wheel
[2-3].
The grinding wheels run in water. They can be turned over after the first side
has worn out, thus doubling their service life (see 8.3 Removing the grinding
wheels). The direction of rotation of the grinding wheels is directed against
the knife edge.
On the guide [2-4] there is a knife guide [2-5] with holding magnets to hold
the knife blade in place.
The honing wheels [2-2] are made of an extremely hard material composi-
tion. Therefore wear is so low that the honing wheels can be used for years
during normal use. Please pay attention to the cleaning instructions for the
care of the honing wheels (see 8.1 Clean the machine).
The individual assemblies of the machine, such as motor, honing device and
knife guides, are attached to a torsion-resistant plastic chassis. The upper part
of the machine is covered with a housing made of impact-resistant plastic.
The machine is positioned in a stable water tank [2-6] made from impact-
resistant plastic, to which it is connected by two clamping brackets [2-7].
Two handles [2-8] make it easier to lift the machine out of the water tank.
The main switch [2-9] is used to switch the machine on and off. The safety
switch [2-10] protects the motor from overload (see 6.5 Control elements
on the machine).
The grinding angle can be set by turning the angle pyramid [2-11] (see chap-
ter 9.2). The star handle screws [2-12] permit locking of the movable knife
guides.
The SM-111 knife sharpening and honing machine also has a start handle
[2-13] to set the honing angle (see 6.4.2 Setting the honing wheels (only
SM-111)).
