1. Open the slide guide
groove by rotating the
guide clamp lever anti-
clockwise.
Note:
The guide clamp
lever is spring loaded to
allow repositioning of the
handle. By pulling out the
lever and at the same
time rotate to the opposite
direction, then releasing
will allow you to position the handle again to turn in the desired
direction.
Adjusting the Angle of Cut
2. SETTING OF THE SHARPENER
2. Fit a chain over the guide groove
ensuring the inner side of the
chain sits inside the guide groove.
Ensure the chain hangs freely
over the side of the mounting
surface. The chain should be
fitted so the teeth face the right
hand side of the sharpener and
the chain
can move
freely
in both
directions.
Note.
Prior to using the sharpener, several adjustments must be made in
order to sharpen the teeth of the chain effectively.
1. Adjusting the angle of cut.
2. Adjusting the chain (tooth) stop.
3. Adjusting the depth of cut.
Failure to perform these adjustments will result in poor sharpening and
possible damage to the chain being sharpened.
Before making adjustments, always ensure the sharpener has been
disconnected from the power supply.
3. If you know the angle of the
chain, rotate the table to the
same angle as the chain. To
rotate the table loosen the table
lock knob and rotate the table
until the scale indicator lines up
with the scale on the base of
the sharpener.
4. If you do not know the angle of the
chain set, the table angle to 35°.
Take hold of the hand piece and
bring it down so that the wheel is
slowly lowered into the chain, along
the cutting tooth. Slowly move the
table so the cutting face of the
tooth is parallel with the edge of
the wheel. The most common chain
angles are 30 – 35°. It may be
necessary to slide the chain slightly
to allow the wheel to enter down
the face of the tooth.
5. Once the correct angle as
been achieved tighten the
table locking knob to lock
the table in the current
position.
After the table is locked in
the required position, take
hold of the hand piece and
lower the head assembly
until the wheel is aligned
along the tooth of the chain.
Confirm the angle then slide the chain so the face of the tooth is just
touching the face of the wheel.
6. Lock the guide by
rotating the clamping
lever as far as it will go
in a clockwise direction.
Ensure the chain is
clamped firmly into the
sliding guide.
Should the chain still
not be clamped, pull the
clamping lever outwards
(away from the guide),
turn the lever anti-clockwise 1/4
of a turn. Push the lever back in
towards the guide. Proceed to
rotate the lever fully clockwise.
Check the chain is clamped. Should
it still not be clamped, repeat the
process above.
WARNING:
ALWAYS WEAR HEAVY GLOVES WHEN
HANDLING THE CHAIN.
