Product information "Tormek – T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener Zinc Gray"
The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is the best choice for amateur chefs when it comes to electric knife sharpeners. Unlike a simpler sharpener, a hand sharpener or a whetstone, the entire grinding phase of the knife is sharpened and not just the outer part of the cutting edge. Thanks to the patented guide, the grinding angle can be easily and precisely adjusted between 8 and 22 degrees. With the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener you never have to have your knives sharpened outside the home again, but can simply sharpen them professionally in your own kitchen in just a few minutes.

Unbalance of the grinding or honing wheel:
If an imbalance occurs, try turning the diamond wheel and the honing wheel once against each other. This is a left-hand thread and no tool is required. Then turn the honing wheel a little and then tighten it again with a little momentum.
As a general rule: Due to the low rotational speed, even a small unevenness or imbalance in the honing wheel looks relatively dramatic. However, this is often within the tolerance and has no influence on handling or the result.
Rattling noises during operation:
When the machine is delivered or has been stationary for some time, the motor shaft can leave an imprint on the drive wheel of the machine. This can lead to a recurring knocking/clacking noise.
This is normal and will disappear after some time of use. It has no influence on the machine or the result.
