Edgeware Angle Adjust Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 3

features that set this sharpener apart from other electric knife sharpeners and
detailed instructions for each type of knife you are sharpening. PLEASE READ
EACH SECTION THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING THIS SHARPENER.
Sharpening Slot Selection
The Angle Adjust Electric Knife sharpener offers
two stages of sharpening, Coarse and Fine. Both
sharpening slots feature interlocking wheels. The
Coarse slot offers interlocking diamond wheels
that are very aggressive. For this reason Smith's
recommends only using this slot on damaged and
extremely dull knives. The Fine Ceramic interlocking wheels should be used
for finishing and polishing the cutting edge to razor sharpness after sharpening
in the coarse diamond slot or for maintaining an already sharp blade that just
needs a quick touch up. Start the sharpening process in the coarse diamond slot
then move to the ceramic fine slot if you are sharpening a very dull or slightly
damaged blade to razor sharpness. If your blade is somewhat dull and just needs
a quick touch up to get it sharp or if it is already sharp and you want to make
sure it doesn't go dull, just use the ceramic fine slot by itself to achieve razor
sharpness.
Angle Adjustment
Matching the sharpening angle of the knife to its original
factory angle has never been easier. Simply turn the Angle
Adjust knob located on the top of the product to match the
angle published by the manufacturer of your knife. If you are
not certain of the angle, refer back to the basic suggested
angles for the style of knife. Both sets of wheels in the Coarse and Fine slot will
move simultaneously ensuring precision adjustment to achieve a razor sharp
edge.
Entry/Exit Area
These brackets on both sides of the sharpening slots indicate
an area where the heel of the blade should be placed to start
the sharpening process and where the tip of the blade should
exit the slot for all knives.
Interlocking Wheel Technology
Unlike other electric sharpeners that only sharpen one side
of the blade at a time, Interlocking Diamond Wheels and
Interlocking Ceramic wheels sharpen both sides of your knife
at the same time with each pass through the sharpening slots.
This reduces the amount of time needed to sharpen your
knife, leaves no micro-burrs on the final edge, and assures equal sharpening of
both sides of the knife edge.
Sharpening Angle Selection
You can use the interlocking wheels to sharpen or maintain
any straight edge knife blade with a bevel on both sides of
the blade. Most knife manufacturers will specific sharpening
angles to their brand and style of knife. See angle chart in
this manual for specific sharpening angles by style and brand
of knife. If either the manufacturer or the style are unknown,
simply follow the printed guide on the Angle Adjust knob
or refer to the "Common Sharpening Angles" published
proceeding pages of this manual. If you select one of these
"common sharpening" angles, even if it is not the exact
original angle, the result will still be an incredibly sharp edge
on your knife blade.
Diamond Interlocking Wheels (coarse sharpening slot)
The diamond sharpening wheels used in your Angle Adjust
Electric Knife Sharpener are coated with "micron-sized"
monocrystalline diamonds. These diamonds are specially
selected for their unique cutting performance and are
applied to the surface of the wheels by a highly technical
process that guarantees longer wheel life, uniform cutting,
and minimal heat build up. 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 getting damaged or de-tempered 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 Interlocking Wheels (Fine Sharpening Slot)
The Angle Adjust Electric Knife Sharpener comes with
extra-fine ceramic wheels which provide superior edge
producing capabilities while removing minimal material
from your knife edge.
Soft Grip and Non-Slip Feet
Provides secure and stable sharpening conditions on all types of surfaces.
Manual Serrated Edge Sharpening Slot (SERRATED)
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 Ceramic Wheels in the electric
