How to use the knife sharpener:
-
Place the knife sharpener on a flat/level surface (kitchen worktop or similar). Then place one hand on the non-slip handle, while holding the knife to be sharpened in the other hand.

Place the end of the blade upon the sharpening edge and keep the blade edge perpendicular to the undersurface – ATTENTION: do not swing the knife left or right during the process.
-
The knife sharpener has 3 openings/sharpening slots (#3):
No.1: Grinding – for the rough preliminary work, sharpening the knife .
No.2: Fine grinding – to remove any grinding residue.
No.3: Polishing and deburring
For best results, we recommend putting the knife through all 3 steps. -
Push the knife down and pull it backwards.
WARNING: Do not press down too quickly! For best results, pull your knives in ONLY ONE DIRECTION, and not back and forth! -
You should pull the knife through each step a maximum of 10 times, depending on how blunt the blade is. If your knife is particularly dull, repeat the process until the desired result is achieved.
IMPORTANT: The number of strokes depends on the sharpness of or extent of damage to the knife)
CAUTION: Keep fingers and thumbs clear of the sharpening slots during use to avoid serious injury.
Sharpening scissors (#4):
To sharpen scissors, insert the scissors into the scissors slot (identified by
the scissors symbol). Now push the scissor blade forward carefully, and then
pull it back as usual and repeat the process several times.
When sharpening scissors, you don‘t have to set an angle: there is only one
fixed setting.
