Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years old.
Always ensure the voltage on the rating label corresponds to the voltage in your home.
Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified electrician or a service repair centre. If in doubt please contact our customer service team.
The appliance is intended for domestic use only. Industrial or commercial use will void the warranty. The supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or damage if the appliance has been used for anything other than its intended use.

Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter. Ensure that the cord is not in a position where it can be pulled or tripped over accidentally.
Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces and do not place the cord near hot gas or electric burners or in a heated oven.
Use of an extension cord with this appliance is not recommended. However if it is necessary to use an extension cord, ensure that the extension cord is equal to or greater than the power consumption of the appliance to avoid overheating of the appliance and extension cord. Do not use any other appliance on the extension cord. Do not place the extension cord in a position where it can be pulled on by children or animals or be tripped over.

Appliance specific safety instructions
Before using the knife sharpener, remove the twist-tie which is secured to the electrical cord. Uncoil the cord and straighten it to remove any kinks. During sharpening, be sure the cord is positioned so the knife will not come in contact with it.
At a professional knife sharpening shop, certain knives (those made of high carbon steel) spark or produce a stream of sparks as they are drawn across the sharpening wheel. As your Andrew James knife sharpener uses the same type of sharpening wheels , you can expect to see similar sparking when you sharpen high carbon knives. The sparking is normal.
You will find that most knives can be sharpened so they are razor sharp in seconds with your new knife sharpener. Some knives may take longer to sharpen, particularly on initial sharpening. Typically, these knives have either been improperly sharpened previously or are made of tempered steel and are extremely hard. Please refer to page 6 of the instruction folder for information on sharpening different types of knives.
