NOTICE  
This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider  
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this  
plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug  
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify  
the plug in any way.  
SHORT-CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk  
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a lon-  
ger cord.  
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord  
is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension  
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of  
the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged  
so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top  
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over  
unintentionally.

The lightning flash within an equilateral triangle  
is intended to alert the user to the presence  
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the  
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient  
magnitude to constitute a risk of fire or electric  
shock to persons.  
The exclamation point within an equilateral  
triangle is intended to alert the user to the  
presence of important operating and  
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the  
literature accompanying the appliance.  
FOR BEST RESULTS  
1. Always use clean knives before sharpening or  
re-sharpening. If knives are soiled, wash and dry  
blades before sharpening.  
2. Use light downward pressure when sharpening.  
3. Always pull blades at a constant rate and recom-  
mended speed over length of blade. Never interrupt or  
stop the motion when in contact with abrasive discs.  
4. Always alternate pulls in right and left slots (with the  
exception of specialized blades, which only need to  
be sharpened on one side).

RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTION  
Your Waring Pro Knife Sharpener is equipped with a  
thermal protection device to protect the motor from  
overheating. If the unit stops running under heavy use,  
turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Allow  
approximately 10 minutes for the motor to cool down. Plug  
unit back in and continue use.  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
Please read all instructions before you begin to sharpen.  
1. Sharpen serrated blades only in the Strop/Polish  
station – do not sharpen serrated blades in the Coarse  
or Fine stations as that will remove more metal from  
the serrations than is necessary.  
2. Straight edge blades can be sharpened using all three  
steps; however, use of step 1 is necessary only if the  
knife is very dull or damaged.  
SHARPENING STRAIGHT EDGE BLADES  
Plug the unit in and turn it on. The red light will illuminate.  
STEP 1 – The Coarse Grind  
The Coarse grinding step is to be used when sharpening a  
knife for the first time or if the knife is very dull, nicked or  
damaged. If your knife is already sharp, you can begin with  
step 2, the Fine grind.  
Insert the knife into right slot of Coarse grinding wheel. The  
knife should be positioned with the handle or bolster  
as close to the grinding slots as possible. The blade area  
closest to the handle should be positioned within the blade  
guide wheel. When you hear the knife make contact with  
the grinding wheel, slowly draw the knife toward you,  
keeping a constant light downward pressure on the knife  
6
 
without twisting. Maintain uniform contact on the blade.  
If the knife is curved lift the handle up as the knife tip  
approaches the end of the slot, keeping constant pressure  
on the blade contour. Sharpen the entire blade. An eight-  
(8) inch blade should take about 4–5 seconds per pull. Pull  
shorter blades through in 2–3 seconds, and longer blades  
in 6 seconds. Next, repeat with one full-length pull in the  
left slot of the Coarse grinding wheel. Always alternate  
slots after each pass in order to keep the blade edge pro-  
portionate. In step 1 you will find that only one or two pulls  
in each slot will be necessary. Now, proceed to step 2.  
IMPORTANT: Once the blade is inserted, you should  
immediately begin to pull the blade toward you. Never  
push the blade away from you. Apply just enough pressure  
to make contact with the grinding wheel – added pressure  
is not necessary and does not improve the sharpening pro-  
cess.  
STEP 2 – The Fine Grind  
Using the same procedure described above for the Coarse  
grind, sharpen the blade in the Fine grinding station. Pull  
the blade once through the right slot and once through the  
left slot. As in the Coarse grinding station, always alternate  
pulls in the right and the left slots and pull at a very steady  
pace. Only one or two passes on each side are necessary  
to attain desired sharpness. Now, proceed to step 3.  
STEP 3 – Stropping/Polishing  
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. As in steps 1 and 2, always  
alternate pulls in the right and left slots and pull at a very  
steady pace. Normally, only one or two pairs of pulls in this  
station will be adequate to finish the process.

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 Pro 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 (Strop/Polish). If step 3 fails to  
sharpen your knife adequately, one or two pairs of alternat-  
ing pulls in step 2 (Fine grind) could suffice followed by one  
or two alternating pulls in step 3. You may start with step 1  
(Coarse grind) if the knife has been dulled excessively.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
No lubrication is needed or required for any moving parts,  
motor, bearings, or sharpening surfaces. There is no need  
for water on abrasives. The exterior of the sharpener may  
be cleaned by wiping carefully with damp cloth. Do not use  
detergents or abrasives.

Metal dust will slowly accumulate below the Coarse and  
Fine grinding wheels. A removable drawer can be found  
underneath the grinding wheels in the rear of the unit.  
Occasionally, remove the drawer and wipe with a damp  
cloth or paper towel. This will remove all of the metal  
shavings. Replace drawer.
