Important safeguards

When using any electrical

appliance, basic safety

precauons should always be

followed, including:

 This appliance can be used by

children aged from 8 years

and above and persons with

reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilies or lack of

experience and knowledge if

they have been given

supervision or instrucon

concerning use of the

appliance in a safe way and

understand the hazards

involved. Children shall not

play with the appliance.

Cleaning and user

maintenance shall not be

made by children unless they

are older than 8 and

supervised. Keep the

appliance and its cord out of

reach of children less than 8

years old.

 Always ensure the voltage

on the rang label

corresponds to the voltage

in your home.

 Check the power cord and

plug regularly for any

damage. If the cord or the

plug is damaged, it must be

replaced by a qualied

electrician or a service

repair centre. If in doubt

please contact our customer

service team.

 The appliance is intended

for domesc use only.

Industrial or commercial use

will void the warranty. The

supplier cannot be held

responsible for injury or

damage if the appliance has

been used for anything

other than its intended use.

 Incorrect operaon and use

can damage the appliance

and cause injury to the user.

 Do not use the appliance if

it has been dropped or

damaged in any way. If the

unit has been damaged take

the unit for examinaon and

or repair by an authorised

service agent.

 Do not immerse or expose

the motor assembly, plug or

the power cord in water or

any other liquid for any

reason.

 If the supply cord is damaged

it must be replaced by the

manufacturer or by someone

who is suitably qualied to

avoid a potenal hazard.

 Do not let the cord hang over

the edge of a table or

counter. Ensure that the cord

is not in a posion where it

can be pulled or tripped over

accidentally.

 Do not allow the cord to

touch hot surfaces and do

not place the cord near hot

gas or electric burners or in a

heated oven.

 Use of an extension cord

with this appliance is not

recommended. However if

it is necessary to use an

extension cord, ensure that

the extension cord is equal

to or greater than the

power consumpon of the

appliance to avoid

overheang of the

appliance and extension

cord. Do not use any other

appliance on the extension

cord. Do not place the

extension cord in a posion

where it can be pulled on by

children or animals or be

Appliance specic safety

instrucons

 Before using the knife

sharpener, remove the twist-

e which is secured to the

electrical cord. Uncoil the

cord and straighten it to

remove any kinks. During

sharpening, be sure the cord

is posioned so the knife will

not come in contact with it.

 At a professional knife

sharpening shop, certain

knives (those made of high

carbon steel) spark or

produce a stream of sparks

as they are drawn across the

sharpening wheel. As your

Andrew James knife

sharpener uses the same

type of sharpening wheels ,

you can expect to see similar

sparking when you sharpen

high carbon knives. The

sparking is normal.

 You will nd that most

knives can be sharpened so

they are razor sharp in

seconds with your new knife

sharpener. Some knives may

take longer to sharpen,

parcularly on inial

sharpening. Typically, these

knives have either been

improperly sharpened

previously or are made of

tempered steel and are

extremely hard. Please refer

to page 6 of the instrucon

folder for informaon on

sharpening dierent types

of knives.

How to use the appliance

 Your Andrew James knife sharpener

will sharpen carbon, alloy and

stainless steel knives.

 It is designed to sharpen kitchen

knives and most sporng knives.

 Do not aempt to sharpen scissors,

serrated electric knives, or any blade

that does not t freely in the blade

guides.

 For best results, moisten the boom

of the sucon feet of the knife

sharpener and place the unit on a at

stable surface. Connect the power

plug to a suitable power outlet and

turn the unit on by pressing the ON/

OFF switch.

 The knife sharpener has two stages of

sharpening, for precision grinding and

ne honing. The precision slots are

situated on the le of the ON/OFF

switch and the ne honing slots are

situated on the right of the ON/OFF

switch. Each funcon has two slots to

sharpen each side of the knife. When

using the knife sharpener on your

knives for the rst me, begin with

the precision grinding.

Precision grinding

1. Precision grinding begins by

sharpening and creang a precision

angled edge.

2. Slowly draw the knife towards

yourself through both blade guide

slots in stage 1 (Fig 1) three mes,

alternang passes between the two

slots.

3. The knifes cung edge should be

kept parallel with the table or

counter top (Fig 1) and drawn

through the slots without using any

downward pressure. To sharpen the

p, li up the knife handle slightly as

the curved poron of the blade is

drawn through the blade guides.

4. When drawing the blade through

the blade guides, allow approx. one

second for every two inches of

blade. For example 6 inch knife = 3

seconds for each pass.

Fine Honing

1. Complete the knife sharpening

process by honing and polishing the

knife to a precise razor sharp edge.

2. Slowly draw the knife through the

blade guide slots in stage 2 (Fig 1.)

three mes, alternang passes

between the two slots. Each pass

should take approximately three or

more seconds, depending on the

length of the knife blade.

3. Complete the honing process with one

quick pass (approximately one

second) through both slots of stage 2.

4. Before using the knife to slice food,

always wipe the blade with a damp

cloth.

5. If the knife does not slice food with

ease, repeat stages 1 and 2.

Warning

 Do not run your ngers along the

edge of the knife to check its

sharpness.

 To avoid injury, handle the knives with

extreme care.

 Never insert the p of the knife into

the blade guide rst and push it

through the knife sharpener.

 Before using the knife to slice food,

always wipe the knife blade with a

damp cloth to remove any metal

lings that may remain from the

sharpening process.

Troubleshoong and FAQ’s

How oen should I sharpen my knives?  Hone the knife prior to each use if you want to

maintain a razor sharp edge. Aer extensive

use, (if you have honed the knife and it no

longer slices food with ease) run the knife

through both stages 1 and 2.

How can I tell if my knife is sharp?  Use it to slice food. If the knife does not slice

the food with ease, it needs addional

sharpening. Repeat stages 1 and 2.

My knife is not sharp and I’ve gone through the

whole knife sharpening procedure twice. What am I

doing wrong?

 Although unusual, there are mes when you

will have to repeat stages 1 and 2 more than

once. This may occur during the rst

sharpening of a knife that has been improperly

sharpened by another process previously. It

may also occur when sharpening knives of

tempered steel which have extremely hard

blades, such as some hunng knives.

Somemes the sharpening wheels stall when I am

drawing the knife through the blade guides, what

causes this?

 The sharpener is designed so that very lile

eort is needed to draw the knife through the

blade guides. If downward pressure is applied

to the knife as it is being drawn through the

blade guides, the sharpening wheels will stall.

How do I get an even edge on my knife?  To get an even edge, be sure to hold the knife

blade parallel with the table or counter top

while sharpening. When sharpening the p of

the blade, li up on the handle slightly as the

curved poron of the blade is drawn through

the blade guides.

Occasionally I see sparks when sharpening my

knives. What causes this?

 Knives with high carbon content (usually higher

quality knives) somemes spark when they

come into contact with the sharpening wheels,

this is normal.

Can I sharpen serrated knives with my knife

sharpener?

 No, do not use the knife sharpener to sharpen

serrated knives.

Care and Cleaning

 The outside surface of the knife

sharpener may be cleaned with a

damp cloth. Do not use abrasives.

 Never immerse the knife sharpener in

water or any other liquid .

 Do not use any type of oil or liquids

with the Andrew James knife

sharpener.

 Your knife sharpener has two special

receptacles on the boom of the unit

for collecng metal lings from your

knives.

 Hold the appliance over a dustbin and

turn it over and shake carefully to

empty the metal shavings from the

slots of the appliance. This should be

done about once a year under normal

usage.
