Care & Maintenance Guide for KAZAK Knife Sharpening System:

To keep your KAZAK operating smoothly and extend its lifespan, follow these care and maintenance tips:

1. Clean After Every Use
Wipe down the sharpening system with a clean, dry cloth after each session to remove metal particles, dust, and any slurry from stones.

Avoid using water directly on the system unless absolutely necessary. If cleaning with a damp cloth, dry immediately and thoroughly.

2. Lubricate Moving Parts
Apply a small amount of light machine oil (e.g., sewing machine oil or mineral oil) to the guide rods and rotating joints regularly.

This keeps movement smooth and prevents wear or rust buildup on the metal components.

3. Inspect Screws and Joints
Periodically check and tighten all screws, knobs, and clamps to ensure stability and alignment.

Use only hand tools to tighten—avoid over-tightening to prevent thread damage.

4. Protect the Finish
The anodized black finish is durable, but avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

Store the system in a dry environment to avoid corrosion, especially if used in humid conditions.

5. Stone Compatibility & Maintenance
Use flat, quality stones compatible with the system’s clamp and guide setup.

Flatten your stones regularly using a lapping plate or flattening stone to ensure consistent sharpening results.

Always clean and dry stones after use.

6. Storage
Store the sharpener in a case or toolbox to prevent dust accumulation and mechanical damage.

Avoid leaving the system assembled with pressure on clamps or rods for long periods if not in use.

7. Use With Care
Do not force the blade or apply excessive pressure while sharpening. Let the abrasive do the work.

Always secure the knife properly in the clamp to avoid slippage and injury.

Troubleshooting Tips:

Stiff movement? Clean and lightly oil the guide rods.
Uneven bevels? Check clamp alignment and ensure your sharpening angle is correctly set.
Slipping blade? Make sure the blade surface is dry and clean before clamping.

By following these guidelines, your KAZAK will deliver consistent, precise sharpening results for years to come.
