Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or
injuries caused by repair of the tool by an unauthorised person
or mishandling or mistreatment of the tool. This tool is designed
for Domestic Home Use only. Use in commercial or industrial
environments will void the warranty.
• Always disconnect the sharpener from the power supply prior to making any adjustments or
performing any maintenance.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Ensure replacement wheels are rated at 5,800/min or higher. Using a wheel rated below the speed
of the sharpener is a hazard.
• Rags, clothes and other loose catch-able objects should be kept away from the work area.
• If interrupted whilst operating the tool, complete the process and switch the tool off before looking
away from the machine.
• Periodically check all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.
• Always turn the sharpener off when it is not in use and never leave it unattended without first
switching off and disconnecting the tool from the power supply. Never leave the sharpener until the
sharpening wheel has come to a complete stop.
• When using the sharpener, use safety equipment including safety glasses, ear protection, dust
mask and protective gloves.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the uncontrolled cutting unit to be forced
upwards towards the operator.
For example, if a cut-off wheel is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that’s
entering the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. Cut-off wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces.
The operator can control upward kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b.
Do not position your body in line with the rotating wheel.
If kickback occurs it will propel the
cutting unit upwards toward the operator.
c.
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral
gap greater than 10mm or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of
control.
d.
Do not ‘jam’ the wheel or apply excessive pressure
. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
e.
When the wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the cutting unit motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion, otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
f.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback id the power tool is restarted
in the work piece.
g.
Support any oversized work piece to minimise the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large
work pieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the work piece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the work piece on both sides of the wheel.
CHAINSAW CHAIN SHARPENER SAFETY WARNINGS
Filing the Chain Depth
If the chain has been repeatedly
sharpened, the chain depth
limiting gauges (depth gauge) may
need to be filed down with a flat
file (not included). The depth of the
depth gauges should be NO more
than 0.5mm below the cutters.
Always disconnect the sharpener from the power supply prior to making
any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Ensure replacement wheels are rated at 5,800/min or higher. Using a
wheel rated below the speed of the sharpener is a hazard.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly
tightened.
