SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
Important Cord Information
Connect the power supply cord to a polarized outlet only. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will only fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

electric knife sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel. It is designed to
sharpen kitchen knives and most sporting knives. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, serrated electric knives, or any blade that does
not fit freely in the blade guides.
The knife sharpener is a three stage sharpening system. If your knife is very dull, you will probably use all three stages, if a bit dull,
two of the stages (2 and 3 – medium and honing), and most frequently, only the third stage, honing, to maintain your knives to the
perfect razor sharp condition.
The blade selector (Fig. A) adjusts the guides to an optimum sharpening angle for thick (hunting knives and cleavers), medium
(utility, slicing, chef's, and Santoku knives), and thin (fillet, paring knives, and other light blades) knives.
