serrated edge blades without removing the blade from the slicer.
Because it is unnecessary to handle the blade, the associated
safety concerns are minimized. The sharpener is operated manually,
remote from the blade with finger guards to protect your hand as
the 100% diamond abrasives shape the edge to its original factory
sharpness. You will find it comfortable to use this advanced
sharpener and you will be elated how easily the sharpened blades
will handle the tough slicing tasks.

UNDERSTANDING THE MODEL 601 SHARPENER

The Chef’sChoice®sharpener Model 601 is designed to sharpen slicing blades of
most household electric food slicers while the blade remains mounted on the slicer.

To sharpen the slicer blade, the sharpener is positioned as shown below (Fig.1) on
the food carriage where it is hand held simultaneously against the carriage push
bar and the thickness control plate. The carriage is then advanced and the
thickness control plate is adjusted to bring the sharpener’s diamond abrasive disk
into brief contact with the rear side of rotating blade edge. The rear edge facet of
the blade is thus sharpened, creating a small burr on the front side of the slicer
blade edge. That burr is then removed by the remotely actuated burr-removal pad
coated with ultra-fine diamond abrasive. These steps are described in detail in the
following sections.

The Model 601, shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3, is designed to sharpen the slicer
blade facet at an angle of 30° measured to the face of the blade. Conventionally,
slicer blades have only one edge facet and it is located on the back side of the blade.
This sharpener is designed to sharpen either fine edge or serrated edge blades.

This sharpener is designed to sharpen only the blades of food slicers. It should not
be used to sharpen any other type of manual or power driven blades.
