Operation (continued)

8.

Lock the chain in the 

Sliding Guides (31)

 by

turning the 

Handle (34).

  See 

FIGURE 8. The

Handle (34) 

should be situated so that you

can easily release and tighten it.  You will
need to release it each time you move to the
next link, and tighten it to sharpen each link.

9.

If the chain has been repeatedly sharpened, the chain

depth limiting gauges may need to be taken down
with a flat file (not included). See 

FIGURES 8 & 9

.

File down each gauge so that they are at a lower level
than the cutting teeth.

Power Cord (3) 

and push the

3.

Slowly lower the grinding wheel as shown in

FIGURE 10

.  If you notice slight errors in your

settings, turn off the unit and unplug it before you
make your adjustments.

Note:

 A good grind occurs when the contact between the

wheel and the teeth are gradual and smooth. Do not
stop too long on any tooth.

4.

After sharpening one tooth, turn off the machine.

Lift the 

Top Housing (4B)

, release the 

Handle

(34)
