Instruccions de funcionament

Follow these steps to achieve a sharp edge on your knives:

1. Secure the Knife: Open the V-Block Clamp and insert your knife blade. Ensure the blade is centered and securely tightened in the clamp.
2. Select Sharpening Angle: Use the Angle Adjustment Knob to set the desired sharpening angle. Angles can be adjusted from 15 to 30 degrees. For most kitchen knives, 20 degrees is a common starting point. For pocket knives, 25 degrees is often suitable.
3. Choose Abrasive Grit: The Tri-Brasive Rod has three sides: coarse diamond, fine diamond, and fine ceramic. Begin with the coarse diamond for very dull or damaged edges. Progress to fine diamond, then finish with fine ceramic for a polished edge.
4. Sharpening Technique: With the knife secured and the abrasive selected, slide the Tri-Brasive Rod along the blade's edge, maintaining consistent pressure. Perform an equal number of strokes on each side of the blade.
5. Burr Formation: Continue sharpening until a small burr forms along the opposite edge of the blade. This indicates that you have removed enough material.
6. Refine the Edge: Once a burr is formed, switch to a finer grit abrasive and repeat the sharpening process, reducing pressure with each pass. Finish with the fine ceramic for a razor-sharp, polished edge.

Manteniment

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your sharpener:

• Clean abrasive surfaces regularly with a damp cloth to remove metal particles.
• Store the sharpener in a dry place to prevent rust or damage.
• Inspect the V-Block Clamp and other moving parts for wear and tear.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues during sharpening, consider the following:

• Knife not getting sharp: Ensure the correct angle is set and consistent pressure is applied. Check if the abrasive is worn and needs replacement.
• Uneven edge: Verify the knife is securely clamped and that an equal number of strokes are performed on both sides.
• Sharpener instability: Ensure the sharpening base is placed on a flat, stable surface. The anti-skid feet should prevent movement.
