Put the graduated knob (6) back to the “0” position.
After sharpening, move the sharpener group (10) back to its original position, see Fig. 3 and clean the edge of the blade and the wheels by alcohol.
After several sharpening operations, remove any residue from the sharpening wheel with alcohol and a brush.
