Operation (continued)
8. Lock the chain in the Sliding Guides (31) by
turning the Handle (34). See FIGURE 8. The
Handle (34) should be situated so that you
can easily release and tighten it. You will
need to release it each time you move to the
next link, and tighten it to sharpen each link.
9. If the chain has been repeatedly sharpened, the chain
depth limiting gauges may need to be taken down
with a flat file (not included). See FIGURES 8 & 9.
File down each gauge so that they are at a lower level
than the cutting teeth.
Sharpening
1. Put on your protective gear and make sure the immediate area is clear of bystanders.
2. Plug in the Power Cord (3) and push the Switch (5B) to turn on the machine.
3. Slowly lower the grinding wheel as shown in
FIGURE 10. If you notice slight errors in your
settings, turn off the unit and unplug it before you
make your adjustments.
Note: A good grind occurs when the contact between the
wheel and the teeth are gradual and smooth. Do not
stop too long on any tooth.
4. After sharpening one tooth, turn off the machine.
Lift the Top Housing (4B), release the Handle
(34), and move the chain so that the next link is
positioned in the Chain Stop (23). Tighten the
Handle (34). Turn the machine back on and
continue sharpening the next tooth. Repeat this
process until you have sharpened all of the links
set up for this angle.
