What should I do if the stone becomes uneven?

Is this stone suitable for beginners?
While effective, beginners may need to practice proper technique. The dual-grit nature offers flexibility but requires understanding which grit to use for different sharpening tasks.
Troubleshooting
Stone is not sharpening effectively
Ensure the stone is adequately lubricated with water or oil. Clean any swarf or debris from the surface. The grit may be worn; consider flattening or replacing the stone if heavily used.
Stone surface appears clogged or glazed
Rinse the stone thoroughly with water. Use a cleaning brush to remove embedded particles. If glazing persists, use a flattening stone to expose fresh abrasive material.
Stone slips during use
Place the stone on a non-slip surface, such as a damp cloth or a specialized sharpening stone holder.
