7. Operation
Important!
Always switch the appliance off and
unplug the power plug before making any
adjustments.
7.1 Insert the chain that is to be sharpened into
the chain bar (Fig. 7)
앬
To do this, loosen the chain locking screw (1)
7.2 Set the grinding angle according to the
specifications for your chain (Fig. 8) (normally
between 30-35º)
앬
Slacken the locking screw for setting the grinding
angle (1)
앬
Set the desired grinding angle using the scale (2)
앬
Tighten the locking screw (1) again
7.3 Set the roof angle according to the
specifications for your chain (Fig. 11) (normally
between 50-60°)
앬
Undo the locking screw (6) for the roof angle
adjustment.
앬
Set the desired roof angle using the scale (7).
앬
Re-tighten the locking screw (6).
7.4 Set the chain stopper (Fig. 9/10)
앬
Fold the chain stopper (1) onto the chain
앬
Pull the chain backwards against the chain
stopper (1) until the latter stops a cutting link (2)
Important!
You must make sure that the angle
of the stopped cutting link coincides with the
grinding angle. If it does not, pull the chain one
link further.
앬
Fold the grinding head (4) down until the grinding
wheel (5) is touching the chain link (2) that is to
be ground. (To do so, you can move the chain
back and forth a little using the setting screw of
the chain stopper (3)
7.5 Set the depth limit (Fig. 9/10)
앬
Fold the grinding head (4) down and set the
grinding depth using the setting screw (7)
Important!
The grinding depth should be set so
that the full cutting edge of the cutting link is
sharpened.
7.6 Lock the chain (Fig. 7)
앬
Tighten the chain locking screw (1)
7.7 Grind the link (Fig. 10/11)
Important!
앬
Only use the equipment for sharpening saw
chains. Never grind or cut other materials.
앬
Before sharpening the saw chain clamp it into the
chain bar. This will prevent jamming of the
grinding wheel caused by a loose saw chain.
앬
Slowly guide the grinding wheel to the saw blade.
If the grinding wheel approaches the saw chain
too quickly or jerkily, this may cause damage to
the grinding wheel. Injuries may result from
catapulting parts!
앬
Switch the appliance on at the ON/OFF switch
(1)
앬
Carefully bring the grinding wheel (5) with
grinding head (4) so that it is against the set link
앬
Switch the appliance off at the ON/OFF switch
(1) Every second link in the chain must be
sharpened in this way. To know when every
second link in the entire chain has been
sharpened, mark the first link (e.g. with chalk).
Once all cutting links on one side have been
sharpened, the grinding angle must be set to the
same number of degrees on the other side.
You can then begin to sharpen the links of the
other side.
7.8 Set the depth limiter spacing (Fig. 12/13)
Once the chain has been fully sharpened, you must
make sure that the depth limiter spacing is kept (the
depth limiters (1) must be lower than the cutting links
(2). You may need to file the depth limiters (1) to the
specifications for your chain using a file (14) (not
included in delivery).
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the tool immediately
after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these may be aggressive to the toolʼs
plastic parts. Ensure that no water can get into the
interior of the tool.
8.2 Changing the grinding wheel
Important!
Always switch the appliance off and
unplug the power plug before carrying out any
maintenance.
1. Remove the grinding wheel (Figs. 14-16)
2. Fit a new grinding wheel
