ASSEMBLY (cont.)
Mounting the sharpener
For safe operation of the sharpener, the
base of the tool must be fitted to a flat,
solid, secure surface such as a work bench.
The sharpener base is designed in two
halves. The rear half is for fitting flat to a
stable surface and the front is designed
to protrude over the edge of the
mounting surface.
The sharpener base should be fitted to the mounting surface by sliding the rear
half back until the two ‘Steps’ on the base align with the edge of the mounting
surface. Ensure when mounting, that the table locking knob (10) is still easily
accessible for when adjusting the table angles.
Two 6mm mounting holes allow for fixing the base to the mounting surface (bolts
not supplied). Ensure the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of
the sharpener and chain to be sharpened.
Important:
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.
Adjusting the angle of cut
Open the slide guide groove by rotating the guide clamp knob (13) anti-clockwise (fig. D).
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
(fig. E). The chain should be fitted so the teeth face the right hand side of the
sharpener (Fig. D) and the chain can move freely in both directions.
