Gebruiksaanwijzing

1. Securing the Knife

1. Loosen the screws on the blade clamps using the provided Allen wrench.
2. Carefully insert your knife blade into the clamps. Ensure the blade is centered and held firmly.
3. Draai de schroeven op de cl vastamps to secure the knife. Ensure the blade is stable and does not wobble.

2. Adjusting the Sharpening Angle

The RX-009 features an adjustable angle mechanism. You can use a digital angle finder (or a smartphone app with a level/angle tool) for precise angle setting.

1. Place your angle finder on the reference surface of the sharpener and set it to zero.
2. Adjust the vertical rod or the angle adjustment knob until the desired sharpening angle is achieved on your angle finder. Common angles range from 15-30 degrees depending on the knife's use (e.g., kitchen knives often 15-20 degrees, outdoor knives 20-25 degrees).
3. Tighten all adjustment knobs to lock the angle in place.

3. Selecting and Preparing Sharpening Stones

The kit includes four diamond sharpening stones with different grits:

• #200 (Coarse): For repairing very dull or damaged edges, or reshaping the blade.
• #400 (Medium): For sharpening blunt edges and preparing for finer grits.
• #800 (Fine): For refining the edge and achieving a sharper finish.
• #1200 (Extra Fine): For polishing the edge to a razor-sharp finish.

Before use, soak the whetstone in water until it stops bubbling (typically 5-10 minutes). This ensures the stone remains lubricated during sharpening.

4. Het mes slijpen

1. Insert the chosen sharpening stone into the stone holder on the stone arm.
2. Begin with the coarsest grit (#200 or #400) appropriate for your blade's condition.
3. Apply light, consistent pressure and slide the stone along the blade's edge, moving from the heel to the tip. Maintain the set angle throughout the stroke.
4. Perform an equal number of strokes on each side of the blade. Sharpen until a burr forms along the opposite edge.
5. Progress to finer grits (#800, then #1200), repeating the sharpening process with each stone. Reduce pressure as you move to finer grits.
6. 360° Rotation Flip Design: The sharpener features an innovative flip fixing structure. Once one side is sharpened, simply flip the blade (while still clamped) to sharpen the other side without needing to re-clamp or readjust the angle.

5. Laatste hand

After using the #1200 grit stone, you can strop the blade on a leather strop (not included) to remove any remaining burr and achieve an even finer edge.

Onderhoud

• Clean Stones: After each use, thoroughly rinse the sharpening stones with water to remove metal particles and slurry. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.
• Clean Sharpener: Wipe down the metal components of the sharpener with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Smering: Periodically apply a small amount of light oil to moving parts (e.g., screws, joints) to ensure smooth operation.
• Opslag: Store all components in the provided carrying case in a dry environment to protect them from damage and corrosion.

Probleemoplossing

• Blade not getting sharp:
  • Ensure the correct sharpening angle is set and maintained.
  • Verify that you are using the appropriate grit sequence, starting with a coarse enough stone.
  • Check for burr formation on the opposite side of the blade; if no burr forms, continue sharpening.
  • Ensure stones are adequately wet during use.
• Blade slipping in clamps:
  • Draai de cl vastamp screws more firmly.
  • Ensure the silicone non-slip sleeves are properly positioned.
• Inconsistent edge:
  • Ensure consistent pressure and stroke speed.
  • Verify that the sharpener is securely clamped and not moving.
  • Double-check that the sharpening angle is locked and not shifting.
