Smith’s® Model 50066 – Diamond Edge Electric

Knife & Scissors Sharpener with Gourmet Edge™ Technology

Smith’s, a world leader in innovative sharpening, is proud to introduce an electric knife
sharpener with Gourmet Edge™ Technology featuring Interlocking Diamond Wheels that
produce a commercial quality edge in combination with manual sharpening elements.
With this one product, you can easily sharpen extremely dull blades, maintain razor sharp
edges on both straight and serrated blades, and sharpen common household scissors.

Your Diamond Edge Electric Knife and Scissors Sharpener will sharpen straight edge
knives of alloy, carbon, or steel in the electric sharpening slot. It is designed to sharpen
your finest cutlery and other common kitchen knives. Do not attempt to sharpen any
blade that does not fit freely into the electric sharpening slot. Listed below are the unique
features of your Diamond Edge Electric Knife and Scissors Sharpener.

Gourmet Edge™ Technology Featuring Interlocking Diamond Wheels

Unlike other electric sharpeners that only sharpen one side of the blade at a time,
Smith’s patented Gourmet Edge™ Technology features Interlocking Diamond
Wheels that deliver fast and precise sharpening of both sides of your blade at the
same time with each pass through the sharpening slots.

Smith’s is proud to be the first manufacturer to offer the retail consumer a quality
electric knife sharpener that operates under the same principles and uses the
same technology as a high-tech commercial grade sharpener.

The sharpening wheels used in your Diamond Edge Electric Knife and Scissors
Sharpener are coated with “micron-sized” monocrystalline diamonds. Our wheels
are manufactured in the United States according to strict tolerances in order to
ensure the same high quality and performance of each and every wheel that we
use. This protects your blade from damage or de-tempering when using this
sharpener.

NOTE – Diamond Break-In Period – The initial aggressive cutting speed of the
Diamond Sharpening Wheels will slow with use. At the same time, the abrasive
finish will improve. Do not be confused by this break in process because it is normal
and should be expected. The diamond wheels are breaking in, NOT wearing out.

Ceramic Finishing Slot/Serrated Blade Sharpener -

Triangular shaped, extra-fine ceramic stones put the final, finished
edge on your blade. Smith’s recommends that you always use the
ceramic stones for final edge honing each time after you finish
sharpening with the interlocking diamond wheels.

Because of their unique triangular shape, these crossed ceramic
stones will properly sharpen serrated blades without damaging the
serrations. The special shape of the stone follows the shape of the
serrations and ensures proper and consistent sharpening for all types
of serrations.

You should also use the ceramic finishing slot for a quick touch up of already sharp
knives. Again, just a few quick strokes is all it takes.

Pull-2-Lock Scissors Sharpener -

Smith’s patented scissors sharpener sharpens both sides of your
scissors at the same time on both left and right-handed scissors.
The “floating” ceramic rod adjusts to the proper sharpening angle for
your scissors. Usually, three or four strokes are all it takes to keep
your scissors cutting sharp.

Magnetic Collection Strip -

A magnetic collection strip located in the bottom of the sharpener
collects the metal filings that are generated during the sharpening
process for safe and easy disposal.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read all IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

thoroughly before using this product.

CAUTION:

• Always sharpen your knife blade from the heel to the tip
of the blade, never back and forth.

• Never insert the tip of the knife blade into the sharpening
slot first, or push your knife blade through the sharpening
slot. This could damage the knife sharpener and/or your
knife.

• In order to get the best results and to reduce excessive diamond wheel wear, it
is important that you keep the proper orientation of the knife blade to the wheels.
Always keep the knife blade parallel to the counter top, so that the blade contacts
both diamond wheels equally. It should be straight up and down in the center of
the sharpening slot at all times. Hold your knife securely but comfortably in your
hand and use light downward pressure to contact the wheels.

• Due to some handle designs, you may not be able to sharpen the entire length
of the blade using the diamond sharpening wheels. In these limited cases,
Smith’s recommends using the manual sharpening slot to sharpen these small
areas of your blade.

Sharpening Serrated Blades

The characteristic scallops of a serrated blade are usually only
ground on one side of the knife blade. For this reason, it is not
recommended that serrated blades be sharpened using the
Interlocking Diamond Wheels in the electric sharpening slot.
These wheels are designed to sharpen both sides of any blade
at the same time. For proper sharpening of your serrated blade,
Smith’s strongly recommends manual sharpening in the ceramic
finishing slot as the preferred way to lightly hone a serrated edge.
The manual sharpening slot has triangular shaped ceramic stones
that are designed to follow the shape of your serrations and ensure
proper and consistent sharpening for all types of serrations.

SHARPENER MAINTENANCE AND CARE GUIDE

Follow these easy tips and instructions to keep your Diamond Edge sharpener in
prime condition for years to come:

DO’s

• Read the instruction manual thoroughly before using the sharpener.

• Clean all dirt and food from knives before sharpening.

• Always hold knife parallel to the tabletop so the knife contacts both wheels
equally.

• Always pull the knife blade through the wheels, never push your knife blade
into the sharpening wheels.

• Use light downward pressure to establish contact with the
wheels.

• Use the Ceramic Finishing Slot for finishing or a light touch up of already
sharp knives.

• Unplug sharpener when not in use and during cleaning.

DON’Ts

• Never use lubricants on the wheels.

• This sharpener is designed to sharpen knives and scissors. Do not try to
sharpen any other types of blades on this sharpener.

• Never insert the tip of the knife into the wheels or damage
to the knife will occur.

• Never use the sharpener if cord is damaged.

• Do not use excessive force when sharpening your knife or scissors.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Symptom: Sharpener stops running while in use.
Cause: Sharpener has a built in motor thermostat as a safety feature. It protects

sharpener from overheating if left on accidentally for a long period or is being
used improperly.

Solution: If the thermostat shuts down the motor, unplug the sharpener and wait
about one hour for the motor to cool down, and the sharpener will restart. If motor
still will not re-start, return sharpener to place of purchase.

Symptom: Interlocking Diamond Wheels stop removing metal.
Cause: Diamond Break-In Period – The initial aggressive cutting speed of the

Diamond Sharpening Wheels will slow with use. At the same time, the abrasive
finish will improve. Do not be confused by this break in process because it is normal
and should be expected. The diamond wheels are breaking in, NOT wearing out.
If after extended periods of use you feel like the diamond coated wheels have
completely lost their aggressive cutting ability, you can replace the diamond
wheels.

Solution: For replacement wheels, see “Replacement of Interlocking Diamond
Wheels” section in this manual.

Symptom: Ceramic stones stop sharpening.
Cause: The ceramic stones will lose their sharpening ability over time, thus

reducing their effectiveness.
Solution: Ceramic stones are reversible and can be cleaned. Clean and reverse

stones as shown in Owner’s Manual to restore original sharpening capabilities.
See “Reversing, Cleaning, and Replacement of Triangular Shaped Ceramic Stnoes”
section in this manual.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4

Pull out until it locks

into place

Rotate for right or

left-handed scissors

Open scissors

and insert into the

sharpener

Close scissors with light

pressure and pull (or push)

scissors through sharpener

Repeat process until sharp.

Step 1

Insert blade

and pull through slot

from heel to tip

Step 2

Lift knife handle at
end to sharpen tip

Repeat process

until sharp.

Symptom: The sharpener will not start when initially plugged into
electrical socket.

Cause: Sharpener or electrical cord could be damaged or malfunctioning.
Solution: Return your sharpener and receipt to the place of purchase for

replacement.

Maintenance

• Do not use any lubricant or water on the abrasive wheels

• Periodically, the clean out door on the bottom of the sharpener should be opened
and cleaned.

Replacement of the Interlocking Diamond Wheels

To replace the diamond sharpening wheels, you must return your Diamond Edge
Electric Knife & Scissors Sharpener to Smith’s. Please contact our Customer
Service Department at ([phone], or visit our website, www.smithsedge.
com, for return shipping information. PLEASE ALLOW 3-4 WEEKS FOR DIAMOND
WHEEL REPLACEMENT.

Reversing, Cleaning, and Replacement of Triangular Shaped
Ceramic Stones

The module that holds the manual sharpening materials can easily
be removed from the top of the machine (Fig 1) and opened so that
the ceramic stones can be reversed, cleaned, and/or replaced.

The white ceramic darkens with use as the metal dust collects on
the working corners of the triangular stones, thus decreasing their
sharpening capabilities. The ceramic stones can be removed and
rotated to expose an unused section of ceramic or cleaned to refresh
their abrasive quality (Fig 2.). Use a small, nylon brush to scrub the
surface of the ceramic stones with kitchen cleansing powder and
water. After all possible working surfaces of the ceramic stones
have been well used and cleaning the stones does not increase their
effectiveness, you should replace the stones.
