STAGE 3 DRESS TOOL: CLEANING/ DRESSING OF STROPPING/ POLISHING DISKS—STAGE 3:
®
The Chef'sChoice
honing disks in Stage 3. In the event these disks become glazed with grease, food or sharpening
debris, they can be cleaned and reshaped by actuating the manual lever on the rear of the
sharpener. This lever is located within a recess as shown in Figure 13 on the left lower corner as you
face the rear of the Model 120.
To actuate the cleaning/dressing tool, make sure the power is on and simply press the small le-
ver in the recess to the right or left and hold for 3 seconds. Then press the lever in the opposite
direction and hold for 3 seconds. When the lever is moved in one direction, the dressing tool cleans
and reshapes the active surface of one stropping/polishing disk. By moving it in the opposite
direction, you clean the other disk.
Use this clean/dress accessory only if and when Stage 3 no longer appears to be sharpening well or
when it takes too many pulls to obtain a razor sharp edge. Using this tool removes material from the
surface of the Stage 3 disks and hence, if used excessively, will unnecessarily remove too much of the
abrasive surface - wearing the disks out prematurely. If that should occur, factory replacement of the
disks will become necessary.
If you clean knives regularly before sharpening, you will need to clean or dress the Stage 3 disks only
about once a year or even less frequently
RESHARPENING: (SEE SECTIONS ABOVE.)
Resharpen straight edge knives whenever practical using Stage 3. When that fails to quickly
resharpen, return to Stage 2 and make one or two pairs of alternating pulls. Then return to Stage 3
where only one to two alternating pairs of pulls will be adequate to put a new razor-like edge on the
knife. Use Stage 1 as a first step in resharpening only if you wish to have more "bite" along the edge or
if the knife has been dulled excessively.
Resharpen serrated blades in Stage 3 (See sections above.)
Model 120 is equipped with a built-in accessory to manually clean/ dress the
Figure 13. Stage 3 disks can be cleaned if necessary.
Use infrequently. (See instructions.)
