Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS UNPLUG THE UNIT WHILE ADJUSTING CHAIN TO BE SHARPENED.
Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 10 and the various photographs.
NOTE: RAISE THE TOP HOUSING(#4) WHILE ADJUSTING THE CHAIN.
1. Clean the chain before sharpening. Wash it with a non-flammable solvent. Do not use gasoline. Dry the chain.
2. Lift up the Chain Stop(#23) and secure the chain in the Sliding Guides(#31). See FIGTURE 8.
3. Lower the Chain Stop(#23) so that it is positioned on the tooth(cutter) you want to start with. See FIGTURE 7.

4. See FIGTURE 7&8. Loose the Lock Wheel(#18) to allow entire housing to turn. Rotate the housing to match the
degree of angle you need on the Angle Gauge. Chinas come in various sizes with varying degrees of sharpening
angles. Check with your chain manufacture’s manual to determine what degree you need to sharpen at. Once the
degree is set, tighten the Lock Wheel(#18).
5. Lower the Top Housing(#4) so that the Grinding Wheel(#8) skims the chain tooth.
6. Hold it at that position while you tighten the Lock Stop(#6) so that the wheel will only go down to that point.
See FIGTURE 9.
7. Depending on the amount of material you wish to remove, tighten or loosen the Lower Knob(#26) and set the
Lock Nut. See FIGTURE 7. The Lower Knob(#26) has a Lock Nut which will determine how much material is
removed. Once you set the Lock Nut, fully tighten the Lower Knob(#26).
