How to properly use a knife sharpener hand?

The guy looks like a long bar / rod with a handle that comes with cutlery sets. You have ridges that run vertically along the rod and I’m not sure which direction I tune my sword against. I use it to run down the blade perpendicular, but no results.

Hold the tool with one hand in front of you as a sword and hold the knife with your other hand. From the base of the two (looking knife edge you), just run the knife along the tool away from you (it is safer) while you pull the right knife, cut the entire length of the blade must run througout the length of the tool. Repeat each side of the page, alternatively, (up and down the tool), only 2 or 3 times, it is best to do so only a little, but more often, you will keep your knife longer. There are a lot of rhythm also because they are rather fragile against these knife sharpeners.
