2-stage Electric Knife Sharpener,household Knife Sharpening Machine with Non-slip Base

Usage Instructions

Preparation

1. Place the sharpener on a stable, flat, non-slip surface near a power outlet.

2. Ensure the power switch is in the “OFF (O)” position before plugging it in.

3. Wipe the blades of your knives/scissors clean and dry to remove food residue, oil, or water.

1.Step-by-Step Sharpening

1. Turn on the device: Press the power switch to the “ON (–)” position. The motor will start running.

2. Select the correct slot:

   • Coarse Sharpening Slot (1st stage): For very dull, damaged, or heavily used knives. This stage reshapes the blade’s edge.

   • Fine Sharpening Slot (2nd stage): For refining and polishing the edge after coarse sharpening, or for regular maintenance of already sharp knives.

   • Scissors Sharpening Slot: Specifically designed for kitchen scissors.

3. Sharpen the blade:

   • Hold the knife handle firmly. Insert the blade into the correct slot at a consistent angle (the sharpener is pre-set to the optimal angle, so no manual adjustment is needed).

   • Gently pull the knife straight back toward you through the slot with light, steady pressure. Do not push the knife back and forth.

   • Repeat 3-5 times in the coarse slot, then 3-5 times in the fine slot for best results.

4. Sharpening scissors: Insert one blade of the scissors into the dedicated scissors slot, close the scissors, and pull them through the slot slowly. Repeat 2-3 times.

5. Turn off the device: When finished, press the switch to “OFF (O)” and unplug the sharpener.

6. Clean the blade: Wipe the knife/scissors with a clean cloth to remove metal shavings before use.

2.Important Safety Precautions

• Keep fingers away: Never touch the sharpening slots or moving parts while the device is running. Always hold the knife by the handle, keeping fingers clear of the blade path.

• Not for all knives: Do NOT use on serrated knives, ceramic knives, scissors with serrated edges, or very thin/weak blades (e.g., disposable or extremely delicate knives), as these can be damaged.

• Do not force the blade: Never push the knife into the slot with excessive force. The sharpener’s motor and abrasive wheels will do the work; forcing can damage both the blade and the device.

• Keep the device dry: Do not use the sharpener near water or expose it to moisture, to avoid electric shock or damage to internal components.

• Unplug when not in use: Always unplug the device before cleaning, maintenance, or if it malfunctions.

• Keep away from children: Store the sharpener out of reach of children, and do not allow children to operate it.

• Do not leave unattended: Do not leave the sharpener running while unattended.

• Ventilation: Ensure the sharpener’s air vents are not blocked during use to prevent overheating.

3.Maintenance & Care

Cleaning

1. Always unplug the sharpener and let it cool completely before cleaning.

2. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge the sharpener in water.

3. To remove metal shavings: Use a small, dry brush (e.g., a soft paintbrush) to gently brush out the shavings from the slots. Some models have a removable tray at the bottom to collect shavings – empty and clean this tray regularly.

Storage

• Store the sharpener in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Avoid dropping or knocking the device, as this can misalign the internal sharpening wheels.
