HOW TO USE

Electric Sharpening - Straight Edge Blades Only

1. Clean all food or dirt off your blade. Never sharpen a dirty knife blade as this could

cause the sharpener to malfunction or damage to the sharpening wheel.

2. Insert the plug on the end of the power cord into a standard 120 volt electrical outlet.

3. Place the unit on a flat, sturdy surface and turn the unit ON by pressing the ON/OFF

switch. You will notice two sharpening slots for electric sharpening, one for each side

of your blade. Select the sharpening slot you would like to use first.

4. Hold the knife securely by the handle as you would in normal usage and position the

heel of the blade over the selected sharpening slot. Insert the blade into the upper

portion of the sharpening slot then rotate the handle of the knife down (slightly raising

the tip of the blade) until the heel of the blade contacts the sharpening wheel (Fig. 1).

As soon as contact is made and you hear the distinctive grinding sound, pull the blade

at a consistent speed through the sharpening slot using light, downward pressure.

To sharpen all the way out to the tip of the blade, lift up on the knife handle slightly as

the curved portion of the blade is drawn through the blade guides.

NOTE: Due to some handle designs, you may not be able to sharpen the entire length

of the blade using the mechanical sharpening wheel. Edgeware recommends using the

manual sharpening slot in these limited cases.

CAUTION:

Always sharpen your knife blade from the heel to the tip of the

blade. Never insert the tip of the knife blade into the blade guide

first or push your knife blade through the sharpening slot. This

could damage the knife sharpener and/or your knife.

The speed at which you pull the blade through the sharpening slots will determine the

amount of metal removed from the edge. A very slow pass will remove more metal than

a quick pass. When drawing the blade through the slots, allow approximately one second

for each two inches of blade. For example, if sharpening a knife with a 6 inch blade, you

should take approximately three seconds for each pass.

5. Move to the other sharpening slot and repeat this process to sharpen the other side of

your blade.

6. Continue alternating passes between the two slots at the recommended speed until your

knife blade is sharp. For best results and to reduce excessive wheel wear, do the same

number of pulls on each side of your blade.

7.Pull through manual finishing slot 3 or 4 times. (See Manual finishing/honing

instructions below.)

Manual Finishing/Honing - Straight or Serrated Blades

Your Edgeware electric knife sharpener includes a manual finishing slot that enhances the

flexibility of the mechanical system. This sharpening element can be used independently

from the mechanical sharpening wheel to achieve a renewed edge or in conjunction with

the mechanical sharpener to speed and refine the results. For example, a blade may benefit

from just a few pulls through the manual finishing slot to touch-up an otherwise sharp edge.

Edgeware recommends using the manual finishing slot to touch-up already sharp knives,

polish the edge of your blade after sharpening with the diamond sharpening wheel, or

sharpen serrated edges. The manual finishing slot has two specially shaped triangular

ceramic stones that are designed to lightly hone both sides of a straight edge blade or

sharpen serrated blades without damaging the serrations. The ceramic stone will follow

the shape of the serrations on your blade as you pull the knife through the slot. The

characteristic scallops of a serrated blade are usually only ground on one side of the knife

blade. For this reason, it is not recommended that serrated blades be sharpened on both

sides using the mechanical sharpening wheel. This will considerably alter the original

geometry of the blade.

When using the manual finishing slot for a quick touch-up of already sharp blades or to

polish the edge after sharpening on the diamond sharpening wheel, the crossed ceramic

stones will align your edge and lightly hone both sides of your blade with each pull through

the sharpening slot. We recommend always using the manual finishing slot to complete the

sharpening process after sharpening your straight

edge blade on the diamond sharpening wheel.

1.Hold the blade straight up and down and center

the heel of the blade in the bottom of the

crossed ceramic stones.

2. Starting at the heel of the blade, pull the blade

through the crossed ceramic stones while

applying light, downward pressure (never back

and forth). Lift at the end of the stroke to

sharpen the tip of your blade (Fig. 2).

3. Repeat this process until your blade is sharp.
