Gastroback 41620 Design Knife Sharpener - Manual (Page 9)

To check for the burr, move your finger carefully and
without exerting pressure from the back of the
blade across the blade to the edge as shown in the
illustration. The burr will be a rough protrusion on one side
of the edge, whereas the other side is feeling smooth.
When detecting a burr, work on the knife in stage C once
to remove the burr, and for this selecting the slot, where the
side with the burr is facing upwards.
Operation
WARNING: Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, axes, hatches, saws or any blade that does
not fit freely in the slots. Do not insert any foreign objects in the slots of the appliance. Always
switch OFF and unplug the appliance, when it is not in use or you wish to move, clean or
assemble/disassemble the appliance.
Knifes properly sharpened on your Design Knife Sharpener could be sharper than you expect.
To avoid injuries handle the knives with extreme care. Do not cut toward any part of your fin-
gers or persons. Do not run your finger along the edge. Check the sharpness by cut-
ting a piece of paper or thin cardboard. Store in a safe manner (e.g. in a knives block). Store
knives and appliance where they are out of reach of young children.
Do not use the appliance if any part of it is damaged in any way (e.g. cracked). Do not
process wet or dirty knives with the Design Knife Sharpener. Always clean the kni-
ves after sharpening, to remove metal dust. Do not use any aiding components (e.g. honing
or drilling liquids, or any lubricants) with the Design Knife Sharpener. No lubrication is required
for any moving parts, motor, bearings, or sharpening surfaces.
Preparing the Design Knife Sharpener for Use
1. Place the appliance on a sufficiently large, level, and stable surface.
2. Ensure that the power switch is in OFF position (the part holding the
power indicator protruding) and that there are no foreign objects in the slots.
3. Connect the power plug to a suitable mains power outlet.

ges according to the condition and type of knife, and the result after each run. (See: Important
Hints for Best Results)

ves with the Design Knife Sharpener.
