The sharpener features a 5-in-1 slot design, each serving a specific purpose:

• Ranura 3 (polaco): Removable ceramic polishing rod for fine-tuning edges and polishing special-shaped tools.
• Ranura 4 (ranura de tijera): Diamond grinding wheel specifically for sharpening scissors.
• Slot 5 (Left and Right, Convertible): Features pull-out baffles to enlarge the slot angle to 32.5°, suitable for wider blades like chop bone knives and sushi knives.

4.3 Afilado de cuchillos (rectos, dentados, de cerámica)

For straight blade knives (chef, forged, meat cleaver, sushi), serrated knives, and ceramic knives:

1. Select the appropriate rotational speed (LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH).
2. For dull knives, begin with Ranura 1. Gently insert the knife blade into the slot, ensuring it is centered.
3. Pull the knife slowly and steadily towards you, maintaining light, consistent pressure. Do not push the knife away from you.
4. Repeat this motion 3-5 times for each side of the blade (left and right slots).
5. Proceder a Ranura 2 to refine the edge, repeating the same pulling motion 3-5 times per side.
6. For a polished finish, use Slot 3 (Polishing Rod). Gently pull the blade across the ceramic rod a few times.
7. For wider blades like chop bone knives or sushi knives, pull out the baffles in Ranura 5 to adjust the angle to 32.5° before sharpening.

2. Open the scissors and insert one blade into the slot.
3. Pull the blade through the slot, maintaining a consistent angle and pressure.
4. Repeat for the other blade.
5. For axes or other special-shaped tools, the removable ceramic polishing rod (Slot 3) can be used for manual grinding and polishing.
