Instruccions de funcionament

The Model 4633 features three sharpening slots, each designed for a specific purpose:

• Slot 1 (15°): For sharpening Asian-style knives (e.g., Santoku) to a 15-degree edge.
• Slot 2 (20°): For sharpening European/American-style knives to a 20-degree edge.
• Slot 3 (Polishing & Serrating): For fine polishing of straight-edge knives and sharpening serrated knives.

General Sharpening Technique:

For all sharpening stages, insert the knife blade into the appropriate slot, ensuring the blade is centered. Pull the knife towards you, from heel to tip, with moderate downward pressure. Repeat this motion, alternating between the left and right sides of the slot if applicable, until the desired sharpness is achieved. Always maintain a consistent, slow speed.

Sharpening 15-Degree Knives (Asian Style):

1. Ús Slot 1 (15°).
2. Insert the knife blade into the slot.
3. Pull the knife towards you, from the heel to the tip, applying moderate downward pressure. Perform 5-10 full strokes.
4. After sharpening in Slot 1, move to Slot 3 (Polishing). Perform 2-3 light strokes in Slot 3 to refine the edge.
5. Test the sharpness. If not sufficiently sharp, repeat the process.

Sharpening 20-Degree Knives (European/American Style):

2. Insert the knife blade into the slot.
3. Pull the knife towards you, from the heel to the tip, applying moderate downward pressure. Perform 5-10 full strokes.
4. After sharpening in Slot 2, move to Slot 3 (Polishing). Perform 2-3 light strokes in Slot 3 to refine the edge.
5. Test the sharpness. If not sufficiently sharp, repeat the process.

2. Insert the serrated blade into Slot 3.
3. Pull the knife towards you, from heel to tip, applying light pressure.
4. Perform 5-10 strokes. The diamond abrasives in Slot 3 will sharpen the points and edges of the serrations.
5. Inspect the blade. If a burr forms on the flat side of the serrated blade, gently remove it by laying the flat side of the blade on a flat surface and making one or two light passes over a fine abrasive stone or ceramic rod.

For routine maintenance or to refine an already sharp edge, use Slot 3 (Polishing).

2. Pull the knife towards you, from heel to tip, applying very light pressure.
3. Perform 2-5 strokes. This will create a microscopically smooth, razor-sharp finish.
