6.The Grinding Wheel is specially designed to prevent “burning” of the knife blade. If the Wheel stalls or stops, the blade is being pressed too hard against the Wheel.

7.Both the Can Opener and the Knife Sharpener are intend- ed for household use only. Do not use the Sharpener for more than 5 minutes at one time. Allow it to cool at least 15 minutes after sharpening knives before using again. This will prevent motor burnout due to overheating.
