On the large diamond surfaces, just place blade against guide to set bevel and slide along. I have dressed up a bit with ceramic rod. Have not played with hook sharpener. I only use the coarse diamond first time. Fine works well after that.Tim

The heavy grit is for chipped or very dull blades. The light grit is for dull blades. Then the ceramic rod is for making it sharp. The leather strop is for finishing a razor sharp edge. Make sure you use the guides and keep the same angle EVERY time or you will not achieve razor sharpness. And go backwards with the strop or you will cut it up.

I try to set it on something solid, then lay the blade on the angle then move the knife like I'm trying to slice the stone. Repeat until a burr is the length of blade. Flip and do the other side. Then repeat on fine grit side.

If you open the picture window at the top of the product page (just click on one of the pictures) there is an instructional video that shows how use it.

I fold a paper towel and then turn the dowel so that the tray is fully open and I grab the blade with the towel. with my left hand and use my right hand to pop it up out where the sharpener is located. Be very careful. one slip could lead to the E.R. This is a COMERCIAL grade slicer, not one for rookies. Best bet would be chainmail gloves.

Pull out the opening where you put the pencil, turn the black ring on the handle and remove the sharpener arm to take out the sharpening unit. (Just like you put it together) Then I used a large paper clip to push on the lead. It is easy to see when it is apart. Push on the lead until it pops out. Sometimes just shaking it into a trash can can also make it let go. Put the sharpener together and your off again to perfect sharpened pencils. :)

Well you have to slide the sharpener on the mover blade. The big problem is being able to get your hands over the sharpener on the blade and slide it towards you. Because of the size of the sharpener, dont know if there is room for your hands. On my mower it did not work for me because I could not place it on the blade and slide it towards me in a sharpening motion because it was too big. My previous sharpener was small so I had no problems getting it on the blade and sliding it towards me. This one was too big for that.

There's a blade sharpener directly attached right above the circular blade. You have to open it to apply it to the blade to use.

from RD: I have used the chainsaw sharpener...which worked fine, but haven't tried with the lawn mower blade sharpener as yet.

Say, just a suggestion. (I haven't purchased this, but was reading through the questions while considering.) Try looking on YouTube or searching on web. There's usually plenty of "How To" pages. (Of course, check before you purchase, as the instructions you prefer may not include the sharpener you're looking at.) I found this with a quick "How do you use a carbide sharpening tool to sharpen gardening tools?" It doesn't include this specific product, but it has some guidance. http://hort.uwex.edu/articles/maintaining-lawn-and-garden-tools/

I use the Lansky sharpening system and sharpen it by sections. I've also used the diamond edge "steel" to rought it in before I finished it. Works great for me!

You should have received a card offering a recipe book enclosed with the tool. There are instructions in the downloadable recipe book.Use care. the blades are very, very sharp.

Jim, I'm by no means am I an expert but I found if I mark the blade with a marker where I want it sharpened I can set the machine to that angle and get a knife sharp. There are markings on the machine but I find marking the blade is much more accurate! AGAIN... I'm no expert at sharpening. Through my trial and error that's my best answer... Hope that helps!

you need to pinch together the two black things and pull out the silver plate on the front. Once fully extended, insert your pencil all the way into the sharpener through the hole. Begin sharpening by rotating the lever and you will feel lever becomes light when pencil is sharpened. To take out the pencil, you need to pinch open the black things

I use a Lansky sharpening system (professional). Works great. Been using it for a decade. Costs like 60 bucks and well worth the money. Every knife in my house has a, literally, hair whittling edge. I can feather any hair that is long enough to hold onto. Once you get the angle of your blur how you want it, all it takes is some maintenance strokes with the finer grit stones every couple of weeks. No hassle, very easy while you're watching a show. Has a serrated edge stone included in the professional set. Not hard to use. Use a permanent marker, mark the edge, and hone until the ink is gone. Repeat until the serrations are as sharp as you want. Don't use a ton of pressure, only firm, unless you abuse the crap out of the blade and you're taking out large chips and dings.

Practice in the day time on something far away like a street sign or building or something. Use the widest lens first. Dont use the extra magnifer. Put the lens in all the way and tighten the screw. Use the finder scope on the top to get it close to the object you want to see. Then adjust the focus dial raising and lowering the lens untill you can see an image. I used mine in the day time several times before I tried it succesfully at night.

none at all i would recommend looking for tutorials on youtube. i also recommend not getting this and saving for a real knife where you can put electrical tape on the sharp stuff. (has the same effect as having a trainer)ps if you do buy it it i will bet that it will break within the first week and the company doesn't cover it by warranty.

You use the little mechanism on the bottom of the knife.it will go to the left. its a little blackpiece of steel with ridges on it. push it to the left of the knife.
