Before using the sharpener, make sure it is fully
assembled, secured to a workbench or stand, and
the correct grinding wheel is installed.
To sharpen chain cutter links:
1. Clean chain with a non-flammable cleaner
to remove oil, dirt, and grime, then use com-
pressed air to thoroughly dry chain.
2. Visually inspect chain and replace any dam-
aged links that could break during sharp-
ening. If link replacement is not possible,
replace chain.
3. Ensure all cutter top plates will be at least
1
⁄
4
"
long after sharpening procedure is completed.
NOTICE
Always refer to the chain manufacturer's
specifications when setting up sharpener. If
this information is not available, use Figure
20 on Page 19 as a general guide.
Note:
These instructions begin by sharpen-
ing right-hand cutters.
5. Rotate chain holder counterclockwise (look-
ing down on it) and align it with the correct
rotation angle mark on the scale for the
chain, as instructed in
Adjusting Top Plate
Leading Edge on Page 21. This setting
determines top plate angle.
6. Use clamp lever (see Figure 26) to set gap
between clamp plates to match chain gauge.

If you suspect that any cutter top plate will
be shorter than
1
⁄
4
" long after sharpening,
replace that link or replace the chain to
reduce risk of personal injury due to chain
failure during cutting operations.
If the grinding wheel fails during opera-
tion, the only thing between you and fly-
ing debris are the wheel and arbor safety
guards. ALWAYS make sure the wheel and
arbor safety guards are properly secured
in place before connecting the machine to
power!
4. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
7. Locate cutter link with shortest top plate
length and position chain with link under
grinding wheel.
Note: If all top plates are approximately the
same length, then start with any cutter. The
goal is to have all top plates with equal length
after sharpening to ensure they cut material
equally during operation.
8. Use chalk or a marker to note the first link to
be sharpened so that you will know when you
are finished with that side of cutters.
