BLADE SHARPENING
To be effected should the knife become blunt.
N.B.: it should be noted that the blade is highly resistant, thus normally needing to be
sharpened about once a year when used regularly.
1
Unplug.
2
Check that the movable bulkhead is closed (graduated knob in position "O").
3
Carefully clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.
4
Reinsert the plug.
5
Loosen the locking knob (12) on the sharpener group.
6
Raise the sharpener group, turning it by 180° so that both grinding wheels are in
working position. See Fig.2.
7
Lower the sharpener group until it locks. During this procedure press button (13) to
bring the sharpening wheel into contact with the cutting edge of the blade.
8
Secure the group by turning the locking knob (12).
9
Set the bulkhead by turning the graduated knob to no.2.
10 Switch in, letting the blade turn for 1-2 minutes. When the blade is still check to see
if any burr has formed on the edge.
11 After having verified the presence of burr, switch on and gently press button (14)
for about 3 seconds to remove the burr produced during sharpening in (in this last
phase, both grinding wheels will be working).
12 Turn the guaduated knob (6) back to position "O".
13 After sharpening, move the sharpener group back to its original position,
clean the edge of the blade and the grinding wheels with alcohol.
14 After several sharpening operations, the grinding wheels should be cleaned with a
brush to remove any traces of alcohol.
