5. Upute za rad
The Edlund Model 401 features a two-stage sharpening process: a coarse grit for initial sharpening and a medium grit for honing and finishing. The precise guidance system ensures consistent blade angles.
- Uključivanje: Flip the lighted rocker switch to the "ON" position. The light will illuminate, indicating the motor is running.
- Oštrenje Stage 1 (Coarse):
- Hold the knife with the blade facing away from you.
- Insert the knife blade into the coarse sharpening slot (typically the slot furthest from the power switch) at the heel of the blade.
- Draw the knife slowly and steadily towards you, maintaining light, even pressure. The guidance system will hold the blade at the correct angle.
- Repeat this process 3-5 times for each side of the blade, alternating sides.
- Oštrenje Stage 2 (Medium/Honing):
- Move the knife blade to the medium/honing slot (typically the slot closer to the power switch).
- Draw the knife slowly and steadily towards you, applying very light pressure.
- Repeat this process 1-2 times for each side of the blade, alternating sides, to refine the edge.
- Testing the Edge: Carefully test the sharpness of the blade. If not sufficiently sharp, repeat the honing stage.
- Scalloped Edged Knives: For scalloped or serrated knives, use only the medium/honing slot. Draw the knife through the slot with very light pressure, focusing on sharpening the points of the serrations. Do not use the coarse slot for serrated knives.
- Isključivanje: Once sharpening is complete, flip the rocker switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the unit.

6. Održavanje i čišćenje
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your sharpener.
- Isključite utikač prije čišćenja: Always ensure the sharpener is unplugged from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Removing the Guidance System: The ABS plastic knife guide is designed to pop out for easy cleaning. Gently pull the blue guidance system upwards and outwards to detach it from the main unit.
- Cleaning the Guidance System: Wash the removable guidance system with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Čišćenje jedinice: Obrišite vanjski dio oštrača oglasnim papiromamp krpom. Nemojte koristiti abrazivna sredstva za čišćenje niti uranjati uređaj u vodu.
- Reattaching the Guidance System: Align the guidance system with the slots on the sharpener and press down firmly until it clicks securely into place.
- Sharpening Wheel Cleaning: Over time, metal particles may accumulate on the sharpening wheels. While the guidance system is removed, you can gently brush the wheels with a stiff, non-metallic brush to remove debris. Do not use water directly on the sharpening wheels.
