The knife/blade sharpening holder
CAUTION:
THIS SHARPENER WAS DESIGNED FOR SHARPENING STEEL. IT
SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
The knife/blade sharpening holder assists in the sharpening of small knives and blades.
1. When fitting a blade in the knife/blade holder,
first unscrew the two knurled screws on the knife
holder clamp. Slide the knife/blade in between
the holder and the top clamp.
2. Finger-tighten the front screw first.
3. Finger-tighten the rear screw next to ensure
the blade is firmly clamped in place. The flatter
the top plate of the clamp sits, the greater the
clamping area on the knife/blade.
4. Fit the tool support bar into the sharpening
position (see “Fitting the tool support for
sharpening”), and adjust its height to achieve the
desired sharpening angle.
5. The knife holder also has an adjustable
resting heel, which rests on the tool support bar
when sharpening. By loosening its knob, it can
be moved up and down the shaft of the
knife/blade holder. This enables further
adjustment of the sharpening angle. These
adjustments should be made before the
machine is in operation.
