Safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:
• Protect the appliance against moisture. Use it only in dry rooms, do not
use it outdoors or in damp areas.
• Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged when the appliance is
in use, particularly not by sharpened knife or scissor blades.
• In order to avoid potentially fatal risks, should the power cable and/or the
plug become damaged, arrange for it/them to be replaced by Customer
Services before continuing to use the appliance.
• NEVER open any housing components, other than those specified herein.
• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS remove the plug from
the power socket. For as long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket
the appliance itself is under electrical power.
• Ensure that the power plug is at all times easily accessible, so that it can
be quickly and easily removed in the event of potential danger or risk.

To avoid the risks of accidents and personal injuries:
• Always check to ensure that the appliance is in a serviceable condition
before taking it into use. If there is recognisable damage to the appliance
it may not be used. Arrange for it to be safety-checked by Customers
Services before using it again.
• Take steps to ensure that hair, loose clothing and parts of the body do
not come into contact with the revolving grindstone t.
• Wear protective gloves so as to avoid injury from sharp blades, or, if you
are operating the knife sharpener with the function cap yremoved.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children)
with restricted physical, physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the
appliance is to be used. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
Unpacking
• Check that all items listed are available and that they show no signs of
visible damage.
• Remove all parts from the packaging and all packaging remnants from
the items.
• Retain the packaging, either for storing the appliance or for reuse in the
event of posting it to Customer Services for repair.
• Before the first usage thoroughly clean all component parts as described
in the section "Cleaning and care".

Placement
• Place the appliance on a stable and slip-free surface.
• Then insert the plug into the power socket.
Adjustment
• To select the required sharpening function q w e, turn the function
cap yuntil the cap perceptibly engages.
• In the position w“Knife with serrated edge” the relevant symbol points
to the grinder opening – however, the cap engages at that point.
• Hold the switch ipressed down. The grindstone trevolves continuous-
ly until the switch iis released.
Sharpening
• First present the blade when the grindstone tis revolving.
• Always draw the knife or scissors back, from the blade stop, in an even
movement, not in a repetitive back and forth movement – otherwise the
result will be an uneven sharpening.
• Do not apply any great pressure and always sharpen only clean blades,
so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grindstone.
• Always sharpen knives and scissors so that the blade is at an acute angle
to the grindstone (as alluded to in the shape of the opening). Sharpening
at the false angle can destroy any blade.
• After sharpening, remove any possible grinding remnants that may be on
the blade with a moist cloth.

If you have selected the setting "Knife with smooth edge" q:
• Always sharpen knives with a smooth edge on both sides – for this, left
and right side sharpening guides are available.
• In the left guide hold the knife inclined to the left, and in the right guide
inclined to the right, whilst drawing the blade through.
If you have selected the setting "Knife with serrated edge" w:
• Sharpen these only on the side with the serration – the draw through di-
rection for the knife is dependant on which side of the blade this is on.
• In general, serrated blades can only be sharpened up to a point. Knifes
with a fine sawtoothing (e.g. table knives) do not require sharpening.
If you have selected the setting "Scissor sharpening" e:
• Sharpen both scissor blades one after the other. For this, open the scissors
out and draw both blades, one after the other, through the guide.
Should you wish to grind a slot-screwdriver rflat:
• This is possible in every position of the function cap y. Appropriate to its
width, insert the screwdriver through one of the two grinding openings r
on the front of the function cap (see fold-out side). The end face of the
screwdriver will now be ground level and flat.
Certain edges can possibly be more easily sharpened directly on the grind-
stone t, without the function cap: For these cases, the function cap is re-
movable:
• Turn the function cap yuntil the arrow is at the top.
You can now take off the function cap.
• To replace the function cap y, hold it so that the arrow is once
again at the top. You can now push the cap on and secure it by turning
it to the left or right.

To avoid risks of personal injury and damage:
• Before carrying out any maintenance work, first remove the plug from the
wall socket.
• NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! These could
damage the appliance. Additionally, there is a potentially fatal risk of
electric shock should moisture come into contact with electrical components.
Cleaning the appliance:
• Turn the function cap y, until the arrow is at the top. You can now
remove the function cap and clean the area around the grindstone t
with a dry brush.
• Dismantle the abrade collector uand clean it with a brush and, if
necessary, a lightly moistened cloth.
• Clean the remaining parts of the appliance also with a lightly moistened
cloth, not with abrasive or aggressive detergents. They can damage the
surfaces.
• To replace the function cap y, hold it so that the arrow is once
again at the top. You can now push the cap on and secure it by turning
it to the left or right. To conclude, reassemble the abrade collector u
into the appliance.
Maintenance
• The appliance is maintenance-free. No form of maintenance, either on
or in the appliance, is intended for execution by the user. In the event of
malfunction or apparent damage, make contact with Customer Services.
