    You are not sharpening the blade. You are tunning it. Big difference. You should have gotting 2 little sticks with your machine those are your tunning steels. very gentley take the 1 that's flat on the end and lay parreral over the top part of your blade and the 1 that has a point goes under the lip of the blade. You don't want your steels touching and you pushing way to hard if you see sparks.Spray a little oil on the blade before doing this. again you are tunning your blade not sharpening it. And do it gentley.
    Im sure others will fill in some of the rest but that's the basics of it. It takes practice.
