SETTING THE BACK STOP
SWB1705
07
1. Release the chain vice locking lever (10)
2. Place the chain into the track, ensuring it can move freely forwards and backwards
3. Lower the chain backstop (7) and pull the chain firmly up against it
4.
Adjust the rear backstop adjustment screw (8) forwards or backwards to bring the chain into the correct position
for sharpening
5. Lower the top motor section (1) down and ensure the grinding wheel only just skims the tooth on the chain
6. Once you are satisfied with the position, ensure you tighten the backstop adjustment locking knob
(9) to hold it in place
7. Lock the chain vice locking lever (10) once you are satisfied with the rear stop setting. Ensure the
chain does not move lift up from the base of the vice
NOTE: It is better to set the back stop so the grinding wheel is barely touching the tooth and adjust
it further forward while you are doing your first sharpening as it is better to take off too little and
adjust it, rather than take off too much. While grinding, if the tooth turns red, there is too much
contact between the wheel and the tooth and you need to move the chain backstop (7) backward
SETTING THE DEPTH
Now it is time to set the depth of the top motor section
1. Turn the depth stop adjustment knob (3) clockwise (or counterclockwise) until the disc is at the
desired depth to sharpen the entire circumference of the cutting surface of the chain
NOTE: Ensure it will not cut through the bottom of the chain
2. Tighten the depth stop locking nut (4) to up against the machine to hold the depth stop in place
