Sharpening Stages:

1. SHARPEN (Tungsten Steel - Coarse):

   Use this slot for very dull or damaged knives to restore the edge. Pull the blade through 5-10 times. This stage rebuilds the knife's edge.

2. DAILY PREP (Resin Diamond - Medium):

   Ideal for daily maintenance and preparing moderately dull knives. Pull the blade through 5-10 times. This stage refines the edge after coarse sharpening or for regular upkeep.
3. DAILY FINE (1000# Ceramic - Fine):

   For fine polishing and finishing the blade to a razor-sharp edge. Pull the blade through 5-10 times. Use this weekly to maintain sharpness.

4. BREAD KNIFE (400# Ceramic):

   Specifically designed for serrated bread knives. Position the back of the knife angled slightly to the right, close to the stainless steel honing surface. Pull the blade through 5-10 times in one direction. Ensure your bread knife is a right-hand or left-hand version before sharpening.

5. SCISSORS (Resin Diamond):

   For sharpening household scissors. Insert one blade of the scissors into the slot, keeping it parallel to the slot. Pull through 5-10 times. Do not sharpen the serrated side of scissors or the side that is not meant to be sharpened, as this will damage them.

Maintenance

• After each use, wipe the sharpener with a damp cloth to remove any metal shavings or debris.
• Do not rinse the sharpener under running water or immerse it in water.
• Store the sharpener in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Safety Precautions

• Always wear the provided cut-resistant glove when sharpening knives or scissors.
• Keep fingers away from the sharpening slots during operation.
• Ensure the sharpener is placed on a stable, non-slip surface before use.
• Do not apply excessive force when pulling the blade through the slots; light, consistent pressure is sufficient.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• This sharpener is not suitable for ceramic knives or very thick blades.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Longzon Knife Sharpener, please consider the following:

• Knife not sharpening: Ensure you are using the correct slot for your blade type and pulling the knife through in one direction only with consistent, light pressure. Very dull knives may require more passes through the 'SHARPEN' slot.
• Sharpener sliding: Verify that the non-slip base is clean and placed on a dry, stable surface. Apply firm downward pressure on the handle during sharpening.
• Damage to blade: Ensure you are not moving the blade back and forth, and that you are using the appropriate slot. Avoid sharpening ceramic knives.
