• Jeśli chcesz, załóż odpowiedni sprzęt ochronny, np. rękawice odporne na przecięcia.
• Przechowuj system ostrzący poza zasięgiem dzieci.
• Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades or scissors with this system unless specifically designed for them.

Organizować coś

1. Assembling the Main Unit

1. Attach the main vertical support to the heavy-duty table clamp using the provided screws and hex wrench. Ensure it is firmly secured.
2. Slide the horizontal guide rod holder onto the vertical support and tighten it at a comfortable working height.
3. Attach the dual knife-clip mechanism to the horizontal guide rod holder.
4. Insert the sharpening rod into the designated opening on the horizontal guide rod holder.

2. Mounting the Sharpener

Securely attach the heavy-duty table clamp to a stable workbench or table edge. Turn the knob on the clamp until the unit is firmly fixed and does not wobble. The depth of the clamp can be adjusted to accommodate various table thicknesses.

Instrukcja obsługi

1. Preparing the Knife

• Clean the knife blade thoroughly before sharpening.
• Open the dual knife-clip and carefully insert the knife blade, ensuring it is centered and held firmly. Tighten the clips securely. The adjustable clamp width adapts to different knife lengths.
• For blades less than 3mm thick, use the included silicone pad to ensure a secure grip.

2. Selecting Sharpening Stones

Choose the appropriate grit stone based on the knife's condition:

• 240# Diamond Stone: For repairing heavily damaged or very dull blades, and removing chips.
• 400# Diamond Stone: For general sharpening of dull blades and establishing a new edge.
• 800# Diamond Stone: For refining the edge after coarser grits and for moderately dull blades.
• 1500# Diamond Stone: For further refining and preparing the blade for finer polishing.
• 6000# Water Stone: For smoothing the edge and achieving a very sharp finish.
• 8000# Water Stone: For final polishing to a mirror-like finish.

The dual-sided stone clamp can hold two stones simultaneously. Ensure both stones are the exact same length for proper installation.

3. Ustawianie kąta ostrzenia

The system features a precise knob angle adjustment. While the scale on the sharpener body provides a reference, the actual angle may vary due to knife width, length, thickness, and stone thickness. For precise adjustment, use an angle gauge or a level tool application on a mobile device.

• Adjust the angle by turning the knob until the desired angle is achieved. The typical angle range for most kitchen knives is 15-20 degrees per side.
• The system includes a stone thickness compensation feature. When changing stones of different thicknesses, adjust the compensation mechanism to maintain the set angle.

4. Proces ostrzenia

Begin with the coarsest grit stone necessary and progress to finer grits.

1. Attach the selected sharpening stone to the sharpening rod.
2. Apply light pressure and slide the stone along the blade edge, moving from the heel to the tip. Maintain consistent pressure and speed.
3. Perform an equal number of strokes on each side of the blade.
4. Utilize the 360° flip mechanism to easily switch between sharpening sides without removing the knife. This ensures consistent angles on both sides.
5. Once a burr forms along the entire edge on one side, flip the knife and sharpen the other side until a burr forms there as well.
6. Repeat the process with progressively finer grit stones until the desired sharpness is achieved.

5. Polishing and Finishing

After using the finest water stone, use the leather strop and polishing paste to remove any remaining burrs and achieve a razor-sharp, polished edge.

• Apply a small amount of polishing paste to the leather strop.
• Attach the strop to the sharpening rod.
• With very light pressure, draw the blade across the strop, leading with the spine (back of the blade) and trailing with the edge. This is the opposite direction of sharpening.
• Alternate sides until the burr is completely removed and the edge is polished.

Konserwacja

1. Czyszczenie systemu

After each use, wipe down the metal components of the sharpening system with a damp cloth to remove any abrasive residue. Ensure all parts are dry before storage to prevent rust.

2. Stone Care

• Kamienie diamentowe: Clean with a brush and water after use. Store them dry.
• Water Stones: Soak water stones in water for 5-10 minutes before use. After use, rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before storing. Periodically flatten water stones with a flattening stone to maintain an even sharpening surface.

3. Przechowywanie

Store the sharpening system and all its components in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity. Keep it disassembled or in a compact form to protect delicate parts.

Rozwiązywanie problemów

Issue: Knife edge is not getting sharp.

• Rozwiązanie: Verify the sharpening angle is correct and consistent. Ensure you are starting with a sufficiently coarse grit stone for the knife's condition and progressing through finer grits. Check for burr formation on both sides of the blade.

Issue: Uneven sharpening or inconsistent angle.

• Rozwiązanie: Ensure the knife is securely clamped and does not move during sharpening. Double-check the angle setting with an external angle gauge. Make sure the stone thickness compensation is correctly adjusted when switching stones.

Issue: Stones are not fitting correctly in the clamp.

• Rozwiązanie: Ensure that if using two stones in the dual-sided clamp, they are of the exact same length. Adjust the stone clamp screws to accommodate the stone's thickness.
