Instruction manual V2.2 – 08/2007
5.6 Set coarse honing knob
Switch the coarse honing knob on the left-hand side of the control panel fully
to the left so the direction of the knob is towards „Coarse”.
5.7 Set Timer at 30 minutes
When beginning coarse honing operation, set the automatic timer for 30 mi-
nutes. This initial setting of 30 minutes holds true for knives being sharpened
for the first time on the Leica Knife Sharpener as well as those previously
sharpened on this instrument. Close plastic cover.
5.8 Push the blue coarse button on the control panel
The solenoid will lock in and release automatically with each turn of the
knife. The knife is automatically stroked against the undulating honing plate.
After the equivalent of three full strokes on one side, a cam follower auto-
matically turns the knife and hones the other cutting facet again using three
strokes. Cycle is repeated continuously until time has run out.
5.9 Remove knife carefully
At the end of the time cycle, the knife holder will stop in a raised, horizontal
position. Loosen clamp screws and remove knife. As a safety precaution
and for ease of handling, insert a knife handle into the slot on the left side of
the knife (Figure 9).
If the holder should stop upside down (knife clamps facing down-
ward), turn the automatic time knob beyond the 10 minute setting.
Wait until the knife starts to move upward and then turn timer to
,,zero”. The knife holder will then go through a half cycle and stop
in the correct, raised position. Shut off Machine by depressing
„OFF” button.
