sharpening debris from the surface of the ultrafine abrasive Stage 3 polishing/
stropping disks. We strongly urge that you always thoroughly clean your knives
before sharpening them. Unless you are a heavy user of the sharpener, you
will be able to sharpen for months or even a year or more before you need
to dress the stropping/polishing disks. Only if you sense a distinct decrease in
polishing efficiency in Stage 3 is there any need to use this convenient feature
described on page 10.
Never operate the sharpener from the back side. Use just enough downward
pressure when sharpening to ensure uniform and consistent contact of the bla-
de edge with the abrasive disks on each stroke. Additional pressure is unne-
cessary and will not speed the sharpening process. Avoid excessive cutting
into the plastic enclosure. Accidental cutting into the enclosure however will not
functionally impact operations of the sharpener or damage the edge.
Try a practice pull through the sharpener before you turn on the power. Slip
the knife blade smoothly into the left slot between the left angle guide of Stage
1 and the plastic knife holding spring. Do not twist the knife. Move the blade
down in the slot until you feel it contact the diamond disk. Pull it towards you lif-
ting the handle slightly as you approach the tip. This practice pull will give you a
feel for the spring tension. Remove the knife and read the following instructions
specific to the type of knife you will be sharpening.
