Appliance specific safety instructions

Before using the knife sharpener, remove the twist-tie which is secured to
the electrical cord. Uncoil the cord and straighten it to remove any kinks.
During sharpening, be sure the cord is positioned 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 find 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, particularly on initial 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 instruction folder for
information on sharpening different types of knives.
