Operation (continued)
Maintenance
1. Keep the Sharpener clean and free of dust, metal debris and dirt.
2. Check the Grinding Wheel before each use to make sure it isn’t damaged. Do not use a grinding wheel if
it is chipped, cracked, or worn. You can check if the wheel has cracks not visible to the human eye by
hanging it up by the central hole and tapping it with a non metal object (ie: screwdriver handle). If it is in
good condition it will produce a metallic sound. A dull sound indicates a crack or break.
3. Replace the Grinding Wheel when it grinds down to a diameter of 3 inches.
5. After you finished sharpening all of the teeth set
for your current angle, turn off the machine by
pushing the Switch (5B) and unplugging the
unit. See FIGURE 11
6. Loosen the Lock Wheel (18) and reset the
angle so that the first tooth that hasn’t been
sharpened is positioned against the Chain
Stop (23) and locked in, as explained on page
6.
7. As you did with the first half of the chain, be
sure to lower the Top Housing (4B) so that the
Grinding Wheel (8) skims the chain tooth, and
lock it in place. See page 6. Follow all of the
steps on page 6 double checking everything
before you plug in the machine and turn it on
again.
Remember to turn off the machine and unplug it if you need to make any adjustments.
8. After you repeat all of the steps under Sharpening on page 7, your chain is ready to be mounted on your
saw.
