· Only allow users familiar with the sharpener’s operation to use the sharpener.
· Store the sharpener in a safe, dry place when not in use. Keep away from children.
TOOL USE AND CARE
· Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
· Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
· Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before servicing,
adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
· Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
· Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another
tool.
· Keep guards in place and in working order.
· Never leave tool running unattended.
· Never stop the grinding wheel with your hands, even after stopping the motor.
· Check that all power is disconnected when changing grinding wheels, during maintenance, or
transporting.
· Never start the sharpener without the wheel guard in place. The guard is supplied with the
accessories bag and must be installed before operation. The guard can be removed only for wheel
replacement; then, it must be reinstalled.
· Check that the voltage and frequency indicated on the sharpener correspond to supplied power.
· Never use higher rated power supply, as this will damage the sharpener.
· Never use defective and/or non-standard cables, plugs or extension cables.
· Remove power or cables immediately if cables show signs of damaged or are cut.
· The power supply cables are complete with terminals. Never use cables that are manipulated in any
way.
· Check the cable position during operation, making sure that cables stay away from grinding wheels
during operation. Never work near other electrical cables.
· Never advance the chain with-your-hands until the grinding wheel has moved entirely back to the
upright position (non-cutting position).
· Before starting the grinder, always check that the grinding wheel is correctly installed and not
damaged.
· Before using the sharpener, check any safety, or other devices, are properly working.
· Never use the sharpener as a cutter or for grinding objects other than saw chains
· Never use near or expose sharpener to any explosive or flammable liquids or environment.
· Never start the sharpener with hands or fingers touching or near wheel
· Never force the sharpener or any tool while working, maintaining or sharpening.
