11) Q: Does it get the knife sharp enough to remove hair from your arm, like a razor? If you use a sharpening stone, you have to have a very good sharpening skill. From our experience about only 1 out of ten thousand people can do it. If you use our commercial model or outdoor model 95% people can do it.

15) Q: When I turn on the machine the motor is running but both side wheels are not turning at the same speed. In our experience, there are two possible causes: A knife blade was inserted forcefully (sudden entry) into the slot and pushed down too hard and cause the wheel to stop rotating while the motor continues to turn.
17) Q: What causes the sharpening wheels to rip? 1. Dirty knives that have food particles or liquid. Make sure they are clean and dry. 2. If your knife has a chip(s) (up to ⅛”) you need to use the coarse sharpening wheels to remove chips, and sharpen with light pressure then increase the pressure slightly.
