Sharpen clean knives only

Tips for sharpening and polishing
Sharpen only clean knifes!
Cutting tools must be cleaned after sharpening!
Information on Sharpening Technique Including Sharpening Instructions
Grinding knives is one of man’s oldest skills and has contributed to the development of mankind.
KNIFE SHARPENING TECHNIQUE
In order to make a knife sharp and to keep it sharp for as long as possible, the edge must be sharpened to a
convex form and to the correct angle.
When you sharpen with the SharpX Dual sharpener equipped with one coarse sharpening station (step 1)
and one fine sharpening station (step 2). The result
is an ultimately convex, centered edge that is sharpened to a correct angle.
Recommendation: choose newer knives when sharpening with the diamond sharpening wheel.
When a knife is sharpened for the first time it needs to be sharpened repetitiously until the edge ob-
tains the correct form.
Knives which have often been sharpened with other systems usually have non-centred edges with
varying sharpening angles. Several sharpening procedures with the SharpX technique are needed
before such edges have obtained the correct convex angle and form. This is not recommended.
When the knife needs to be re-sharpened, fewer strokes are needed.
Step 2
Step 1
Step 1 Sharpening in a rotating sharpening wheel 35º with coarse diamonds 54 µ.
Step 2 Sharpening in a rotating sharpening wheel 35º with fine diamonds 36 µ.
Convex form
Correct angle
Step 3 EXTRA: For optimal result. Finish the process by polishing in the EDGE FIX 40° ultrafine ceramic.
Step 3

USM 635 en 12
2011-08-25
SHARPENING COARSE
The knife must be clean before sharpening.
Sharpening is easier if you hold the knife with one hand and help steer the blade with the other hand. It is im-
portant that the knife is not held at an angle, but is steered vertically into the slot.
Test 1. Ascertain that you have a wire edge by carefully pulling the knife, by its own weight and at an angle of
approximately 30 degrees, over the edge of a plastic card for example: ( MasterCard / VISA ). When the blade
jumps against the card, making it vibrate, you have achieved a wire edge.
4.2.1
Sharpen the knife until there is a wire edge. This is proof that the edge has been sharpened to a point.
Step 1
Wire edge
Step 1
Start the machine.
Press the knife blade into the slot with a pressure of about 0,1 - 0,6 kg. Start at the handle.
Simultaneously pull the knife steadily towards you through the wheel, with a speed of about 4 sec. for a regular-
length knife. Vary the grinding pressure at different times so that the whole diamond surface is used. This ex-
tends the life of the diamond wheel.
At the end, lift the handle in order to sharpen the tip of the knife.
Repeat until a wire edge is obtained.
If the pressure on the knife is too high, the wheel stops.

Step 2
Press the knife blade into the slot with a pressure of about 0,1 - 0,6 kg. Start at the handle.
Simultaneously pull the knife steadily towards you through the wheel, with a speed of about 4 sec. for a regular-
length knife. Vary the sharpening pressure at different times so that the whole diamond surface is used. This
extends the life of the diamond wheel.
At the end, lift the handle in order to sharpen the tip of the knife. Repeat about 2-4 times.
4 sec.
The knife edge now has a centred, ultimate, convex form and the knife is ready to use.
RE-SHARPENING
When the SharpX system is used regularly on a knife, sharpening will be easier as it will take shorter time to
achieve the wired edge, mentioned above.

5 Maintenance / replacement of diamond
grinding wheels.
5.1 Changing of diamond wheels.
Separate SharpX from electrical
power supply system before start-
ing any maintenance work!
1. Turn the handle anti-clockwise until it stops.
2. Carefully remove complete wheels with hand-
le.
3. Remove lock washer on grinding wheel. Cau-
tion: it may jump out.
4. Remove interlocking grinding wheel without
using force.
5. Remove lock washer on grinding wheel. Cau-
tion: it may jump out.
6. Remove interlocking grinding wheel without
using force.
7. Slide new grinding wheel with rubber ring on
to the shaft. Green side of the grinding wheel
must point in direction of handle.
8. Use the lock washer to lock the diamond
wheel back into position. Remove the rubber
ring.
9.
Carefully re-install complete shaft with wheels
and handle.
10. Pay attention to position of square shaft in
the coupling. Turn the handle clockwise until
stops.
11. Do not stand directly in front of grinding
wheels during first start-up of machine. Small
parts can swirl around.
