Remember that you are working with a sharp knife.
Use care and caution when sharpening.
Careless sharpening can cause serious injury.
Do not leave the unit with the knife clamped unattended.
6.1 Clamping the knife:
To prevent scratches on the knife, it is recommended to tape the knife with masking tape before
sharpening:
◆ position the knife in the clamps so that the longest straight section of the knife is as parallel to the
frame as possible;
◆ tighten the clamp screws carefully with a screwdriver. The jaws of the clamps should t the blade
tightly, without gaps;
Do not overtighten the screws to prevent the clamp jaws from bending backwards!
