Sharpening
General
Select the appropriate grinder opening for the knife1) 1/ the
scissors 3/the screwdriver 2. Take note of the images on the
fold-out page.
Always press and hold the On/Off button2) 4with your left thumb
(see fold-out page). Thereby, grasp the appliance firmly. The
grinding stone rotates continuously until you release the On/
Off button 4.
When the grinding wheel is rotating, follow the steps as described3)
in the individual chapter for the object being sharpened.
TIPS
►First present the blade when the grindstone is rotating.
►Always draw the knife or scissors back in an even movement
from the blade stop, not in a repetitive back and forth move-
ment – otherwise the result will be an uneven sharpening.
►Do not apply excess pressure and always sharpen only clean
blades, so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grind-
stone.
►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 all grinding remnants that may be on the4)
blade with a moist cloth.

slightly to the left.
Hold the knife by its handle with your right hand and smoothly1)
pull it, from the handle to the blade tip, towards yourself (see fold-
out page). Thereby, maintain the contour of the knife. Take note
that the pressure applied should not be too firm.

blade.
Now repeat the same step on the knife in the other grinder open-3)
ing 1.
Repeat steps 1-3 until the desired sharpness has been achieved.4)

achieved.
Flat-head screwdriver
Appropriate to its width, insert the screwdriver into one of the two1)
grinder openings 2on the front of the appliance (see fold/out
page). Apply only a light pressure.
