How to use

Secure the sharpener on a flat, stable surface according to the included instructions. Set the adjustable angle guide to the desired bevel angle appropriate for your knife type. Place the blade in the guide and perform controlled pivoting strokes so the abrasive makes contact along the bevel. Repeat equal numbers of strokes on both sides of the edge, checking progress visually or with a light burr test. Clean the blade and the sharpening surfaces after use and store the unit in a dry location.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a coarser abrasive if the edge is blunt, then move to finer grits for refining and polishing. Maintain consistent pressure and stroke count to achieve uniform bevels. Avoid excessive force that can overheat or remove too much metal; perform light, controlled passes and inspect the edge frequently.
