positioning and preparing the chain for sharpening:
warning:
Always be sure the Power Switch is in the OFF
position, and the tool is unplugged before mounting the chain or making adjustments. Always wear
work gloves when handling chain.
undErstanding thE prOcEss:
Please refer to figure on next page.
The chain will be positioned on the Sliding Guides (31) which mimic the chain guide on your chain-
saw.
The Chain Mounting Assembly (39) can rotate to adjust the angle of the Grinding Wheel (8) to the
chain. Most chainsaw teeth are cut at 5° - 10° off perpendicular to the line of the chain. Check your
chainsaw owners manual for the recommended angle or simply match the angle already on the
chain. The angle can be read on the Angle Gauge which is attached to the Base (17). Alternating
teeth are ground at opposite angles. You will first grind all teeth at one angle, then all teeth at the
opposite angle.
The chain is positioned on the Sliding Guides with the Chain Stop (23). The Chain Stop rotates up
to allow the chain to move along the Sliding Guides, then rotates down to position each link in place
under the Grinding Wheel for sharpening.
The Handle (34) locks the link in place on the Sliding Guides so it does not move while being sharp-
ened.
The amount of material being removed during sharpening can be adjusted using the Lower Knob
(26) with its Lock Nut. Adjusting this knob moves the chain lengthwise along the Sliding Glides, and
consequently under the Grinding Wheel. You should remove as little material as possible during
each sharpening procedure to extend the usable life of the chain.
Most chains have depth limiting gauges built into each link. These are marks or shoulders made
into each link which indicate the lowest safe level to grind each link.
warning: do not sharpen any chain link below the chain depth limiting gauge. Over-sharpening
can weaken the chain causing the possibility of chain breakage or other failure which can
cause property damage or severe personal injury.
