Käyttöohjeet
1. Understanding Angle Adjustment
The SHARPAL 202H features an innovative distance-based angle setting system. This ensures precise and consistent angles regardless of the knife's width.
- A/B Scales: The system includes A and B scales on the frame. Use the A scale for standard knives (blade width 3/5 to 2-3/4 inches / 15-70 mm) with a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) reference distance. Use the B scale for wide knives (blade width 2-3/4 to 4-1/3 inches / 70-110 mm) with a 2-inch (50.8 mm) reference distance.
- Säädettävä kulma: The sharpening angle can be smoothly adjusted and fine-tuned between 10° and 35°.
- Marker Pen Method: Use the included marker pen to color the edge of your knife. Make a few light passes with an abrasive plate. If the marker is removed evenly across the entire bevel, your angle is correct. Adjust as needed.

2 Clamping the Knife
- Secure Dual Sliding Clamps: Clamps hold blades of any length firmly in place. The flip mechanism ensures the same angle on both sides for uniform sharpening.
- Narrow Blades (under 3/5 inch / 15 mm): Secure the blade first. If too narrow, disregard the 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) reference distance.
- Short Blades: A single clamp is sufficient if the blade is securely held. If not, use two clamps on the same side for added stability. An off-center position will not affect the sharpening angle.
- Protecting the Blade: Use the provided masking tape on the clamps to protect delicate blade finishes from scratches.

4. Using Abrasive Plates
The kit includes a range of monocrystalline diamond plates and whetstones for various sharpening stages:
- Diamond Plates (220/325/600/1000 grit): Use coarser grits (220, 325) for edge repair and reprofiling. Progress to finer grits (600, 1000) for initial sharpening and refining the edge. These plates sharpen all hard materials and require no water.
- Whetstone Plates (3000/6000 grit): For fine honing and achieving a razor-sharp edge. When using, apply a few drops of water to keep the surface lightly moistened. Avoid excessive water – just enough to prevent debris buildup. No pre-soaking is required.
- Leather Strop: For final polishing and achieving a mirror-like finish. Apply the green polishing compound to the leather strop before use.
