K. • Erholungstr. 10 • D-42699 Solingen • www.linder.de • [email protected] KNIFE SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Always keep your fingers inside the hand guard and your thumb securely on the thumb rest indention on the top of the sharpener; otherwise possible injury may occur. 2 To sharpen the knife place the knife on a solid flat surface with Fig. 1 the cutting edge facing up. Securely hold the knife in place with downward pressure on the handle. For best results allow about 1/2” to 1” of the blade to extend past the edge of your flat surface. See Fig. 1. 3 Starting near the handle of the knife place the “V” in the head of the sharpener over the cutting edge of the knife. Position the head of the sharpener at a 90 degree angle to the knife’s cutting edge. While holding the knife with one hand and the sharpener in the other, draw the sharpener across the blade from the heal to the point while applying light downward pressure. At the end of each stroke continue your outward motion in order to avoid any contact with the blade. You will feel the tungsten carbide cutters removing metal from the knife. Repeat this process 3 or 4 times or until your knife is sharp. See Fig. 2. Fig. 2 4 Remember, light pressure is sufficient when using the sharpener. Heavy pressure might cause you to lose control of the knife and could cause possible injury. 5 The carbide cutting heads are reversable and replaceable.When Fig. 3 the heads stop cutting they can be rotated and used on the other side. To rotate the heads remove the screw and the plastic cover piece. Remove the carbides and rotate them 1/2 turn and then place the top carbide into the bottom slot and the bottom carbide into the top slot. SCISSORS SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS Smith’s Knife & Scissors sharpener features a specially designed “FLOATING” sharpening rod that conforms to the exact angle of your scissors. It is simple and easy to use, and it works on both left and right-handed scissors. Fig. 4 1 To sharpen right-handed scissors begin by holding the head of the knife sharpener in your left hand with the words “Right Handed Scissors” facing you. Then place the flat base at the other end of the handle on a solid flat surface. (See Fig. 4) 2 Open your scissors blades and insert the blades as far as possible through the slots. (See Fig. 5) 3 Close scissors on the sharpening rod as if your were trying to cut Fig. 5 the rod, then pull the scissor blades through the slots (while trying to keep the blades closed). Repeat this process three or four times (more for dull scissors). If preferred, push scissors through unit instead of pulling. 4 To sharpen left-handed scissors hold the head of sharpener in your right hand with the words “Left-Handed Scissors” facing you and then repeat steps 2 and 3. WARNING: When using to sharpen a knife always keep your fingers inside the hand guard and your thumb securely on the thumb rest indentation on top of the sharpener or possible injury may occur.

  • Twice As Sharp® Operators Manual
    OPERATORS MANUAL TWICE AS SHARP® Scissors Sharpening System Customer service 1-800-888-3832 Professionally Sharpen Scissors and Shears manufactured by WOLFF INDUSTRIES, Inc. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON LEE WOLFF Inventor of Twice as Sharp® 1930 - 1996 In 1957 Lee Wolff started a sewing machine sales and service business. Fabrics and a complete line of sewing needs were added in 1963, and the number of employees grew to 25 to handle the volume. During those years, Lee did a great deal of scissors sharpening and repair and made im- portant modifications on the available scissors sharpening equipment. In 1971 Lee and Mary Wolff became the first major importer and distributor of plastic handled scissors in the United States. They started to manufacture sewing scissors in 1973 under the trade name of KNIP. A U.S. patent was granted on the KNIP. The scissors factory was sold to American Scissors Corp. in 1980 and moved to the south. Lee set up the factory and innovated many new manufacturing processes. The July 1983 Consumers Reports rates the American Scissors designed and produced by Lee Wolff as a best buy. He also designed a full line of unique plastic handled scissors with interchangeable parts. Lee worked on perfecting the process of scissors sharpening for many years. It is necessary to accurately control the cutting angles, reduce burr formation during sharpening, and do deburring and micro-sharpening as a final process. This method produces scissors that are normally twice as sharp, hence the name Twice as Sharp® scissors sharpener. A United States patent has been granted as well as several foreign patents.

  • 15 Degree Sharpening Module for Use on Chef’Schoice® Model 2100 Commercial Sharpener
    INSTRUCTIONS 15 Degree Sharpening Module for use on Chef’sChoice® Model 2100 Commercial Sharpener Module shown inserted in Model 2100 Sharpener. (Sharpener not included). Read these instructions before use. It is essential that you follow these instructions to achieve optimum results. © 2011 EdgeCraft Corp. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF 15° SHARPENING MODULE EdgeCraft offers the 15° detachable sharpening module designed specially to place a factory quality edge on Japanese, Asian style knives and all other 15° knives. It can be used inter- changeably on the Model 2100 Sharpener with the standard 20° module designed for the European/American style blades and all other 20° knives. The 15° module is identical in size to the 20° module and it can be removed or installed on the guide rails of the Model 2100 as described in the Model 2100 manual. The 15° Japanese/Asian module can be used for either straight edge or serrated edges, how-ever the 20° European/American module is recommended for sharpening serrated blades because serrated blades are predominantly manufactured with 20° edge angles to provide greater support for the individual serrations. While Asian style knives have historically been sharpened at about 15 degrees at the factory and European/American style knives have been made with 20 degree edges, very recently leading German factories have introduced European style knives edged at 15°. Remove the standard 20° European/American module from the 2100 sharpener and install the 15° Japanese/Asian module as described in the Model 2100 Instruction Manual pages 11-12. Understanding THE DIFFERENCE – EUROPEAN/AMERICAN AND Japanese/ASIAN STYLE KNIVES In general you will find that Euro/American blades shown in Figure 1 are sturdier than the more delicate and thinner contemporary Asian blades as illustrated below.

  • Saws from Festool. We Are Taking Over the Lead
    SAWING Product range Saws from Festool. We are taking over the lead. Perfection is our declared aim. If there will perhaps never be the perfect saw, we have already made history along the way: for example with the guide rail and the splinterguard for circu- lar saws, the triple saw blade guide for pendulum jigsaws or the twin column guide with two bearings for the KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws. We have learnt one thing from this: It is better to set standards than to following existing trends. Our engineers are the driving force behind all innovations. And, of course, our customers. Because only you can show us the way – to tools that are ergo- nomic in shape, lightweight, powerful and operate intuitively. In brief: to a sophisticated and well-thought out system that makes your work decisively easier. We shall remain true to this principle in the future: whether it be through the intensified use of our EC-TEC motor concept and the battery technology in the area of sawing or through further developments that meet our toughest demands. But for all the praise for our products receive here is constantly that little bit of self-criticism. An essential requirement for our aim: the construction of the perfect tool.

  • Rodent Decapitation
    Florida State University Animal Care and Use Program Standard Operating Procedure Rodent Decapitation 1.0 Scope and Application The 2013 AVMA Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals states that decapitation is acceptable with conditions if performed correctly and that it may be used when required by experimental design and approved by the IACUC. Decapitation may be accomplished by the use of a commercial guillotine, dedicated scissors, or razor/scalpel blades. Scissors and razor/scalpel blades may only be used for neonatal rodents (< 10 days of age). 2.0 Summary of Method • Training Requirements o The Principal Investigator (PI) must ensure that all personnel using the guillotine are properly trained and proficient in its use. o Personnel wishing to perform decapitation without anesthetics or analgesics must be trained by an LAR veterinarian or ACUC-approved trainer prior to performing procedure. • Preparing for decapitation o The PI and laboratory personnel are responsible for ensuring that the equipment is always in good working condition prior to any use. o Good working condition means that guillotines and dedicated scissors are clean, in good condition, sharp and move freely. The actions should be smooth with no perceptible binding or resistance, and the blades must be rust-free, sharp, and decapitate with minimal force. Razor or scalpel blades should be new. • Decapitation procedure o All personnel performing decapitation must be properly trained. Training must be documented in a laboratory maintained log indicating training date and trainer. ACU personnel are available to provide training if requested. o The decapitation procedure should be performed in an area that is separate from other rodents.

The Razors-and-Blades Myth(s) Randal C. Pickert The razors-and-bladesstory offers a foundationalunderstanding of a key area of economics and strategy: invest in an installed base by selling the razor handles at low prices or even giving them away, then sell the razor blades at high prices to justify the prior investment. Large chunks of modern technological life-from VCRs and DVD players to video game systems like the Xbox and now e-book readers-seem to operate subject to the same dynamics of razors-and-blades. The actual history of razors-and-bladesis much richer than the standard story suggests.

Each section terminates with a set of conclusions and a Summary of these conclusions is presented at the end of the report. This work has concentrated on evaluating the effectiveness of various knife sharpening techniques by examining the sharpened edges of the knives in a scanning electron microscope, SEM. Much can be learned by examination of a sharpened knife edge with a magnifying glass or an optical microscope, particularly the binocular microscope. However, the optical microscope suffers from a severe limitation.
