TO REPLACE THE SHARPENING STONES:

1.Remove the stones from the shaft by using a 10-millimeter metric wrench while gripping the stone firmly with the left hand.

NOTE: The sharpening stone (cup shaped) is mounted on a left-hand threaded shaft. Turn the nut to the right to remove. The deburring stone (cone shaped) is mounted on a standard right-hand threaded shaft. Turn nut counterclockwise to remove. Always use a nut and washer to secure the stones to the shaft.

2.Assemble sharpener with new stones. Make sure that the sharpener fits into the two guide pins inside its cover and tighten the sharpener cover locking knob.

3.Replace sharpener. Sharpener must be all the way down, protecting the top of the knife.

TO CLEAN THE SHARPENING STONES:

1.Place the stones in a solution of soap and water and allow to soak for approximately one hour.

2.Remove the stones from the solution and brush clean with a stiff bristle brush (Berkel P/N 4975- 09237).

3.Rinse the stones with water and dab with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

4.Allow stones to air dry until the next day.

NOTE: Ensure the stones are completely dry before using them. If stones have chips, cracks, or metallic buildup that can’t be cleaned, discard them.
