Safety instructions

To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:

• Protect the appliance against moisture. Use it only in
dry rooms, do not use it outdoors or in damp areas.

• Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged when
the appliance is in use, particularly not by sharpened
knife or scissor blades.

• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be
replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician
or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the
risk of injury.

• NEVER open any housing components, other than those
specified herein.

- 3 -

• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS remove
the plug from the power socket. For as long as the plug
is inserted in the wall socket the appliance itself is under
electrical power.

• Ensure that the power plug is at all times easily accessible,
so that it can be quickly and easily removed in the
event of potential danger or risk.

To

avoid the risks of accidents and personal injuries:

• Always check to ensure that the appliance is in a service­able condition before taking it into use. If there is recognis­able damage to the appliance it may not be used. Arran­ge for it to be safety-checked by Customers Services
before using it again.

• Take steps to ensure that hair, loose clothing and parts
of the body do not come into contact with the revolving
grindstone t.

• Wear protective gloves so as to avoid injury from sharp
blades, or, if you are operating the knife sharpener with
the function and protective cap yremoved.

• This appliance may not be used by children.

• The appliance should always be disconnected from the
mains when not supervised and before assembly, disas­sembly or cleaning.

• The appliance and its connecting cable must be kept
away from children.

• Children must not play with the device.

- 4 -

• This appliance may be used by people with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised
and have been instructed in how to use the appliance
safely and have understood the potential risks.

Unpacking

• Check that all items listed are available and that they show no signs of
visible damage.

• Remove all parts from the packaging and all packaging remnants from
the items.

• Retain the packaging, either for storing the appliance or for reuse in the
event of posting it to Customer Services for repair.

• Before the first usage thoroughly clean all component parts as described
in the section "Cleaning and care".

Placement

• Place the appliance on a stable and slip-free surface.

• Then insert the plug into the power socket.

Sharpening

• First present the blade when the grindstone tis revolving.

• Always draw the knife or scissors back, from the blade stop, in an even
movement, not in a repetitive back and forth movement – otherwise the
result will be an uneven sharpening.

• Do not apply any great pressure and always sharpen only clean blades,
so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grindstone.

• Always sharpen knives and scissors so that the blade is at an acute angle
to the grindstone (as alluded to in the shape of the opening). Sharpening
at the false angle can destroy any blade.

• After sharpening, remove any possible grinding remnants that may be on
the blade with a moist cloth.

Knife with smooth edge

If you have selected the setting "Knife with smooth edge" q (Fig. B):

• Always sharpen knives with a smooth edge on both sides – for this, left
and right side sharpening guides are available.

• In the left guide hold the knife inclined to the left, and in the right guide
inclined to the right, whilst drawing the blade through.

Knife with serrated edge

If you have selected the setting "Knife with serrated edge" w (Fig. C):

• Sharpen these only on the side with the serration – the draw through
direction for the knife is dependant on which side of the blade this is on.
The side with the serrated edge must be pointing in the direction of the
grindstone

• In general, serrated blades can only be sharpened up to a point. Knifes
with a fine sawtoothing (e.g. table knives) do not require sharpening.

out and draw both blades, one after the other, through the guide.
