3. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
◇Be sure to read this User Manual before using the device. The device should not be used by persons who are not
familiar with this manual.
◇This device is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are supervised or instructed by a person responsible
for their safety.
◇Minors must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the Device.
◇Before you start working with the Device, prepare your workplace. There should be no foreign objects in the
working area of the device. The working area must be illuminated.
◇Make sure that the Device is stable on the table. If using a clamp, make sure that it is well tightened and that the
housing is securely clamped to the work surface.
◇To prevent cuts, do not touch the cutting edge of the blade with your hands. It is recommended that you wear cut-
resistant gloves when handling the machine.
◇When sharpening, beware of accidental triggering of the rotating mechanism if the clamping force is weak or the
abrasive holder is pressed too hard. Adjust the force correctly (gure on page).
◇Do not leave unattended the device prepared for operation, as well as an open, uncovered knife blade in the access
area of children and animals.

Your TSPROF K03 Pro device has a number of features:
◇The abrasive holder with Axicube-i electronic angle nder allows you to monitor the sharpening angle in real time
and trace any changes, for example when changing the abrasive. Also it is possible to set the sharpening angle with
an accuracy of 0.1°. The display is easy to read in any lighting conditions. The angle sensor is resistant to vibrations..
◇The abrasive holder guide rod is made of steel and allows the abrasives to be rigidly xed both with and without a
blank. The abrasive holder bar has no angular deection after assembly, both in free state and under load.
◇The hinge unit, due to its advanced design, allows you to sharpen knives in the range of angles from 8°* to 39°
which allows you to sharpen at a total angle of up to 78°.
◇The rack and pinion lift is made of aircraft-grade aluminum. It has a sharpening angle scale on it. The sliding part of
the lift is connected to the dovetail base. A locking screw prevents accidental movements of the lift. An additional
lifting rod is used to increase the sharpening angle. The device allows a two-step adjustment of the sharpening
angle: a coarse adjustment with the rack and pinion lift and a ne adjustment with the extended angle axis.
◇The rotary unit has a unique mechanism that facilitates rotation and ensures reliable auto-locking of the clamping
frame. Thanks to the spring and bearing system, the frame rotates without wear to the mechanism. The auto-
rotation system body is made of durable aircraft-grade aluminum, anodized in black.
*when using llet clamps
Option 1. Using the device without a stand.
◇Glue the spacers from the spare parts package to the contact surfaces of the c-clamp.
◇Glue the 5 bumpers from the spare parts package to the back of the body of the sharpener.
◇Clamp the body to the table with the c-clamp.
Option 2. Using the device with a stand.
◇Glue 5 bumpers from the spare parts package to the back of the stand.
◇Place the body of the device in the recess of the stand and x it with the thumbscrews.
5. PREPARING FOR WORK

6. ASSEMBLY
6.1 Install the abrasive holder into the bushing-coupling of the
guide rod and x it.
6.4 Mount the clamp to the frame and tighten the locking
screws. It is possible to use different types of clamps together.
Position the clamps at the required distance from each other
depending on the length and geometry of the blade.
6.2 Turn the control ring to set the desired locking
force.
6.3 Place the abrasive holder rod in the hinge unit, position the
springs, stroke limiter and parking boot as shown. The location
of the parking boot should allow it to be mounted on the disk
of the hinge unit.
6.5 Р7.5 Position the knife in the clamps and x it with one
screw, use a 4mm hex key* for this. Do not over-clamp. The jaws
must be parallel. To release the blade, loosen the screws in the
clamps.
6.6 To avoid damaging the surface of coated or polished knives,
apply masking tape to the place where the jaws come into
contact with the blade.

7. SETTING THE SHARPENING ANGLE
For correct operation of the electronic angle nder it is
necessary to calibrate it. To do this, use the calibration prism
included in the package.
Calibration order:
1. Place the clamp on the left side of the TSPROF K03
device frame as close as possible to the center of the rotary
mechanism frame (g. 7).
(g. 7)
2. Start adjusting the angle nder. Place the calibration
prism close to the clamp without any gaps, so that it does
not protrude beyond the jaws of the clamp. Secure the clamp
tightly with a key (g. 8).
(g. 8)
3. Place the angle nder body on the prism and adjust its
position with the stops so that it does not go beyond the prism
(g. 10).
(g. 9)
(g. 10)
4. Adjust the height of the rack and pinion lift with the
knobs so that there is no gap between the angle nder and the
prsm. Use any illuminator to verify that there is no gap.
(g. 11)
5. Fix the lift with the locking screw.

8. CALIBRATION OF THE RACK-AND-PINION
MECHANISM
If necessary, you can adjust the smoothness of the lift with a hex
screwdriver.
1. Using a 2 mm hex wrench, adjust the screws 1 and 2 as shown in
the illustration.
6. Turn on the angle nder, press and hold the button for 6
seconds, wait for the blinking signs on the display, then release
the button (the screen will ash with « ») and press it again
briey, the display will show the value of 14°. To cancel the
calibration, do not press the button for 10 seconds.
The electronic angle nder is set and ready for operation. It
does not need to be calibrated when it is switched on again.
Important: When you change the position of the device,
transfer it to another surface, it is necessary to recalibrate to
avoid deviation of the electronic angle nder readings from the
real values.
Note. The angle nder is programmed so that regardless of the
angle of the surface on which the angle nder is placed, the
display will always show 14.0° after calibration.
2. Using a 2 mm hex wrench set an even tightening force on
the rack and pinion lift handle, with screws 3 and 4.

9. OPERATING PROCEDURE
9.1 Knife clamping
◇To prevent scratches on the knife, it is recommended to cover the knife with the masking tape before sharpening.
◇Position the knife so that the longest straight part of the blade is as parallel to the frame as possible.
◇Carefully tighten the clamp screws with a key. The jaws of the clamps must t the knife tightly, without gaps.
◇Do not overtighten the screws, to avoid deection of the jaws in the opposite direction!
9.2 Choosing the sharpening angle
Depending on the purpose of the knife, choose the desired sharpening angle. The table below will help you with this:
