Operation
1. Clean the chain before sharpening. Inspect the chain for
the most worn-out cutter tooth and start sharpening with
this tooth. The most worn-out tooth is important in order
to sharpen all other teeth to the same depth!
2. Lift up the chain stop, position the chain and secure the chain between the clamping piece of the
chain guide assembly. Fold down the chain stop and pull back the first cutter tooth against the
chain stop. Make sure the chain is between both guide boards so that the chain can not tilt
to the side.
3. Check the necessary filing angle according to the specifications for the chain. Adjust the filing
angle on the chain guide assembly to 25° - 30° or to the required angle and tighten the
locking screw.
4. Lower the motor housing so that the grinding
wheel skims the chain tooth. Hold it in this
position while you tighten the screw so that
the grinding wheel will only go down to that
point, fix this position with the locking screw.
5. Switch ‘ON’ the Flexisharp by pressing firmly.
Use the handle to bring the grinding wheel
down towards the chain tooth. As you bring
down the motor housing the tension cable
will automatically clamp the chain between
the metal chain boards.
6. After sharpening one tooth, turn off
the machine. Lift the motor housing,
to release the clamp boards, and move
the chain so that the next link is positioned against the chain
stop. Mark the first cutter tooth with chalk, then sharpen every
second tooth in one direction. Repeat this process until you have
sharpened all of the links set up for this angle.
7. Change the cutting angle to 30° or to the required angle
of
the opposite direction of the remaining chain cutter teeth.
