Assembling and
Changing Saw Chain
Outlined below is the mounting
procedure for the saw chain to be
correctly fi tted to the long neck mini
grinder when you want to remount it.
(Refer also to FIG 3)
1) Use the Allen key
5
to unscrew any
accessories, simultaneously holding
down the locking button.
2) The small fastening screw
4
with the
Allen key head fi ts through a (top) black
spacer
3
, which has a 10mm raised
shoulder. The 10mm discs with the saw
chain fi t over this shoulder.
3) Make sure the chain is secured
between the discs and the chain is
facing the right direction with the raker
on the left. Another check is to make
sure that the number 25 stamped on
tang of the chain is face down.
4) The bottom saw chain disc
sits on
(not over) the silver spacer (which is
part of the grinder).
5) Simply tighten the screw
4
with
the Allen key
5
using the lock down
switch
1
to hold the chain/discs during
tightening, making sure the discs are
centered for proper balance.
Do not overtighten!
Do not overtighten!
A quick on/off
test will allow you to check this visually.
Readjust chain and discs as necessary.
It’s ready to use.
IMPORTANT
If assembled in reverse
to motor direction,
MERLIN will not cut,
leaving burn marks
on the work piece.

Always disconnect the power cord
from the power source before making
any adjustments or attaching any
accessories.
You may unexpectedly
cause the grinder to start, leading to
serious personal injury.
Accessories must be rated for at
least the speed recommended on the
tool warning label.
Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed
can fl y apart and cause injury.
Do not reach in the area of the
rotating wheel.
The proximity of the
rotating wheel to your hand may not
always be obvious.
Carefully handle both the tool and
individual grinding wheels to avoid
chipping or cracking. Install a new
grinding wheel if tool is dropped
while grinding. Do not use a wheel
that may be damaged.
Fragments from
a wheel that bursts during operation
will fl y away at great velocity possibly
striking you or bystanders.
If a chain
tooth becomes jagged, simply
sharpen it with a few strokes of
the diamond fi le to bring the edge
back. Other accessories may need
replacing if damaged.
We highly recommend not to hold
a hoof in one hand while using the
grinder with chain saw in the other
hand. Use clamps to secure the hoof
whenever practical.
Clamping allows
you to use both hands to control the
tool.
If it is absolutely necessary to
hold the hoof or work object, allow
for suffi cient space between your
hand and the spinning blades/discs.
Use clamps to support workpiece
whenever practical. Never hold a
small workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand while in use.
Allow for suffi cient space between
your hand and the spinning grinder.
Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll
while being cut, and may cause the
grinder to “bite” or jump toward you.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you
to use both hands to control the tool.
Inspect your hoof or workpiece
before cutting. When cutting
irregularly shaped objects, plan your
work so it will not slip, pinch the
grinder and be torn from your hand.
For example, if carving wood, make sure
there are no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece. These alien materials
may cause the grinder to jump.
Never start the tool when the grinder
is engaged in the hoof or material.
The accessory’s cutting edge may grab
the cutting object causing loss of control
of the cutter and possible injury to the
animal.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessories, especially when working
corners, sharp edges, etc.
This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
If the grinder becomes jammed or
bogged down in the hoof/workpiece,
turn the tool off by the switch. Wait
for the spinning accessory to stop
and unplug the tool, then work to
free the jammed material.
If the switch
is left on, the grinder could restart
unexpectedly causing serious injury.
Do not leave a running tool un-
attended; turn power off.
Only when
the accessory on the grinder comes to
a complete stop is it safe to put down.
Do not grind or sand near fl ammable
materials. Sparks from the wheel
could ignite these materials.
W A R N I N G !
Do not use the unit
on materials which contain asbestos.
Do not alter or misuse tool.
Any
alteration or modifi cation is a misuse
and may result in serious personal
injury.
This product is not intended
for use as a dental drill or in medical
applications.
Serious personal injury
may result.
