6.  Grinding the chain links (Fig. 10/11). 

a.  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. 

b.  Slowly guide the grinding wheel to the saw blade. If the grinding wheel approaches the saw 

chain too quickly or jerkily, it may cause damage to the grinding wheel. Injuries may result 
from catapulting parts! 

c.  Switch the appliance on at the ON/OFF switch. 

d.  Carefully bring the grinding wheel down by lowering the Hand Piece against the chain. Adjust 

the pressure as necessary. 

e.  Switch the appliance off at the ON/OFF switch. Every second link in the chain must be 

sharpened in this way. To keep track of the sharpened links, 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 (without having to make any further adjustments). 

 

7.  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 must be lower than the cutting links. You may need to file the depth  

limiters to the specifications for your chain using a file (not included in delivery).
