RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION
Your Waring Pro
™
Knife Sharpener is equipped with a
thermal protection device to protect the motor from
overheating. If the unit stops running under heavy use,
turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Allow
approximately 10 minutes for the motor to cool down. Plug
unit back in and continue use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Please read all instructions before you begin to sharpen.
1. Sharpen serrated blades only in the Strop/Polish
station – do not sharpen serrated blades in the Coarse
or Fine stations as that will remove more metal from
the serrations than is necessary.
2. Straight edge blades can be sharpened using all three
steps; however, use of step 1 is necessary only if the
knife is very dull or damaged.
SHARPENING STRAIGHT EDGE BLADES
Plug the unit in and turn it on. The red light will illuminate.
STEP 1 – The Coarse Grind
The Coarse grinding step is to be used when sharpening a
knife for the first time or if the knife is very dull, nicked or
damaged. If your knife is already sharp, you can begin with
step 2, the Fine grind.
Insert the knife into right slot of Coarse grinding wheel. The
knife should be positioned with the handle or bolster
as close to the grinding slots as possible. The blade area
closest to the handle should be positioned within the blade
guide wheel. When you hear the knife make contact with
the grinding wheel, slowly draw the knife toward you,
keeping a constant light downward pressure on the knife
