Adjusting Sharpening Angle
The sharpening angle can be adjusted from 15° to 30° to suit different blade types and desired edge characteristics. A lower angle (e.g., 15°) provides a finer, sharper edge suitable for slicing, while a higher angle (e.g., 20-30°) offers a more durable edge for heavy-duty tasks.
- Locate the angle adjustment knob on the sharpening module.
- Rotate the knob to select the desired angle, indicated by the markings (15°, 20°, 25°, 30°).
