Resharpening Straight Edge Blades; Cleaning And Maintenance - Waring Commercial WKS800E Manuel De Instrucciones

This step will complete the sharpening process. The Strop
will remove the burr from the knife blade and will polish it
simultaneously. The patented reverse action is necessary
to obtain a razor sharp edge. Normally, only one or two
pairs of pulls in this station will be adequate to finish the
process. As in steps 1 and 2 always alternate pulls in the
right and left slots and pull at a very steady pace.
Additional pulls in the Strop/Polish station will hone the
edge even further.
Procedure for Sharpening Serrated Blades
All types of serrated blades can be sharpened with the
Waring Commercial Professional Knife Sharpener.
™
USE ONLY STEP 3 (STROP/POLISH) WHEN SHARPENING
A SERRATED BLADE. This will sharpen the teeth of the
serrations and form small blades along the edge of these
teeth. Approximately 3 to 6 pulls alternating on each side of
the Strop/Polish station will be sufficient. If the knife is very
dull more pulls may be necessary. If the knife's edge has
been severely damaged, you can make one pull at a faster
pace (2-3 seconds for an 8" blade) in each of the right and
left slots of step 2 (Fine grind). Once you have done this,
make a series of pulls in step 3 (Strop/Polish). Excessive
use of step 2 will remove too much metal from the blade
and can ruin a serrated knife.

RESHARPENING STRAIGHT EDGE BLADES

You can quickly resharpen straight edge knives with a few
alternating pulls in step 3. If step 3 fails to sharpen your
knife adequately, one or two pairs of alternating pulls in
step 2 could suffice followed by one or two alternating
pulls in step 3. You may start with step 1 if the knife has
been dulled excessively.
