OPERATING HINTS

• Before you sharpen the chainsaw chain check it for damages, such as:

- bent or abraded chain links.

- broken cutting teeth, loose rivets or broken rivet heads.

If any damage is found, replace the entire chain.

• A sharp chainsaw produces wood

chips and pulls itself into the timber

being cut. When it becomes blunt,

sawdust will start being produced

during cutting operations.

• You should sharpen the chain if you

notice that you have to use force to

cut through the timber, i.e. if the saw

does not “pull” anymore.

• Sharpen all cutting teeth as

uniformly as possible. This will ensure

smooth operation with a minimum of vibration. See Fig 1

• Blunt cutting teeth or parts

damaged by stones may cause an

inclined cut during chain saw

operation and may also increase

the wear on the running face of the

cutting teeth.

• The depth limiter bars must be

profiled by hand. Ensure that all

depth limiter bars are equal in

height. See Fig 2

• Ensure that all cutting teeth are

sharpened to the same cutting angle.

• During sharpening occasionally check that the cutting-angle is set

correctly, as this setting may go out

of adjustment due to vibration.

• Make sure that all teeth are

sharpened as evenly as possible.

Only sharpen the teeth, never the

chain links.

• Sharpening teeth to unequal blade

lengths can cause a side drift when

sawing. see Fig 3.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS

SUPPLY.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply

is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate

on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.

This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the

fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or

damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to

damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions

shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket

could cause an electrical hazard.

WARNING! THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE

COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with

the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

•The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is

marked N or coloured Black.

• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which

is marked L or coloured Red.

Plug must be BS1363/A approved

Always fit a 5 Amp fuse

Neutral

(Blue) Live

(Brown)

Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a

Residual Current Device (RCD)

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

This symbol indicates that this is a Class II product, and does not require an

earth connection.

ASSEMBLY

The chain saw sharpener is supplied only partly assembled.

1. Remove the bolts from both

pivot clamps as shown in Fig 4.

2. Insert the axle into the body of

the chainsaw sharpener. Fig 5.

3. Place the chainsaw sharpener

on the base plate.

•Make sure the nipple on the

chainsaw sharpener is

positioned inside the depth

limiter (N) spring as shown in

Fig 6.

4. Replace the pivot clamps and

secure in place using the bolts

removed in step 1.

Note: Before starting the unit,

make sure the grinding

disc is fixed firmly. Never

operate the unit without the

protective cover.

5. Place the base plate (A) on a

solid, level surface, e.g. a

workbench. Fig 7.

•Ensure that the base plate

extends out far enough over

the edge of the work bench

so that the chain can hang

down freely and you can

easily access the angle

adjustment screw (L) at the

bottom.

6. Mount the base plate (A) using

the mounting holes (O).

The chain saw sharpener is now

ready for use.

OPERATING

WHEN SHARPENING, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.

FITTING THE CHAIN TO THE

SHARPENER

1. Lift up the adjustment wedge

(G) and unscrew the fastening

screw (F), see Fig 8.

2. Place the chainsaw chain on

the chain holder assembly (J).

•There is a diagram on the

chainsaw holder indicating

which way the teeth should

be facing

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE GRINDING ANGLE

1. Rotate the chain holder

assembly (J) to the required

angle.

•Most chainsaw chains have a

cutting tooth angle of 15° or

30°. Check the chain

packaging for infomation.

2. Tighten the angle adjustment screw (L).

•Do not over tighten. The chain holder assembly should be able to

move when required but it must stay in the set position when

sharpening.

•Do not rotate the chain holder assembly (J) when the grinding disc

is moving.

•The chain holder assembly (J) clicks into place at 15° or 30°

degrees, shown by the angle indicator (K), see Fig 9.

ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM SHARPENING DEPTH

3. Adjust the maximum sharpening depth using the depth limiter (N).

• Start grinding with the most worn-out tooth and sharpen all other

teeth to the same depth.

Fig 8

Fig 9

SWITCHING ON/OFF

6. To switch on, set the ON/OFF

switch to the ( I ) position. see Fig

7. To switch off, set the ON/OFF

switch to the ( O ) position. see

Fig 10

SHARPENING THE CHAIN

8. Make sure the chainsaw chain is

held securly between both guide

boards (M). Tighten with the

fastening screw (F) if nessecery.

see Fig 11.

9. Position the tooth being

sharpened near to the grinding

disc.

10. Put the adjustment wedge (G)

down into position (fig 12) and

move the tooth forward with the

adjusting screw(I) until the

bottom of the grinding disc (E)

can be positioned inside the

cutting edge of the tooth. See Fig

13.

•Before moving the chain to the

next tooth, switch the unit off

and wait until the grinding disc

comes to a complete stop.

• First sharpen all teeth in one

direction i. e. every second

tooth.

• Then change the sharpening

angle to the opposite

direction.

• Make sure that all teeth are

sharpened as evenly as

possible.

• Only sharpen the teeth, never the chain links.
