on the power switch. Insert the knife blade, (Figure 1) near its handle, into the far left slot of
Stage #1 and allow the left face of the blade to rest on the left face of the slot as you pull the
knife toward you. The knife edge should be in sustained moving contact with the internal dia-
mond abrasive coated disk. Only light downward force will be necessary as you pull the blade
toward you. Listen carefully to insure your knife maintains good contact with the rotating
