wheels or to reset the edge on extremely dull or damaged blades. This slot is not
intended for edge maintenance or for use on Asian Style knives unless the angles
of the Asian style blade are above 35° combined. (17 1/2° per side)
Edgeware does not suggest using the carbide slot on Asian style blades unless
the Asian blades have an angle of more than 35° combined. Asian style knives
can become damaged if too much pressure is applied to them when run through
carbides. If your Asian style knife is larger than 35° combined, use care and
caution when running the blade through the carbide slot. Use light pressure only
and repeat only as necessary.
Manual Serrated Sharpening Slot
The characteristic scallops of a serrated blade are usually
only ground on one side of the knife blade. For this reason, it
is not recommended that serrated blades be sharpened using
the Interlocking Ceramic Wheels in the electric sharpening slot.
These wheels are designed to sharpen both sides of any blade at
the same time and will not follow the shape of the serrations. For proper sharpening
of your serrated blade, Edgeware strongly recommends manual sharpening in the
slot marked “Serrated” as the preferred way to lightly hone a serrated edge. This
slot has triangular shaped ceramic stones that are designed to follow the shape
of your serrations and ensure proper and consistent sharpening for all types of
serrated knives.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read all IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
thoroughly before using this product.
CAUTION:
• Always sharpen your knife blade from the heel to the tip of the blade, never back
and forth.
• Never insert the tip of the knife blade into the sharpening slot first, or push your
knife blade through the sharpening slot. This could damage the knife sharpener
and/or your knife.
• In order to get the best results and to reduce excessive ceramic wheel wear, it
is important that you keep the proper orientation of the knife blade to the wheels.
Always keep the knife blade perpendicular to the counter top, so that the blade
contacts both ceramic wheels equally. It should be straight up and down in the
center of the sharpening slot at all times. Hold your knife securely but comfortably
in your hand and use light downward pressure to contact the wheels.
