SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WORK AREA

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

connecting to the power supply.

4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL

INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/

OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED

BELOW REFERS TO YOUR CHAINSAW SHARPENER.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the battery before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons

unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power

tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Poorly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these instructions

and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking

into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of

the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

SERVICE

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

2. The sharpener is designed for sharpening all common chainsaw chains. Do

4. Do not operate the sharpener without the protective cover in place and

make sure that all parts are firmly assembled before starting the sharpener.

OVERVIEW

ASSEMBLY

Insert the chain holder assembly into

the base as shown and secure from

below using the Locking Wheel

positioned pointing forwards

(away from the grinding wheel).

MOUNTING THE SHARPENER

1. Place the base on a solid, level

surface, e.g. a workbench.

2. Mount the chainsaw sharpener

using the mounting holes on the

base (bolts not supplied).

BEFORE USE / SETUP

1. Clean the chain before sharpening. Wash it with a non-flammable solvent.

Do not use petrol. Dry the chain.

FITTING THE CHAIN

2. Lift up the chain stop and place

the chain in the sliding guide as

shown.

• Look at each tooth on the

chain and start with the most

worn tooth. Position this tooth

roughly in the centre of the

sliding guides. All other teeth will

be ground to the same depth.

ADJUST THE SHARPENING ANGLE

3. Loosen the locking wheel to allow

the chain holder assembly to turn.

4. Check with your chain

manufacturer to determine the

angle you need.

5. Rotate the chain holder assembly

to the angle required.

6. Tighten the locking wheel.

• Do not rotate the chain holder

assembly when the grinding disc is moving.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE SHARPENER IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE

MAINS SUPPLY DURING SETUP.

LIMITING THE DEPTH OF CUT

7. Lower the top housing so that the

grinding wheel skims the chain

tooth.

8. Hold it at that position while you

tighten the depth limiter until it

touches the stop on the base.

• The grinding wheel will only go

down to that point from now

on.

9. Tighten the depth limiter locking

screw against the main body to secure.

LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL REMOVED

10. Depending on the amount of

material you wish to remove,

tighten or loosen the Lock Knob

and adjust the chain stop

adjustment screw.

• This will determine how much

material is removed. Once you

set the chain stop adjustment

screw, fully tighten the lock

knob.

11. Lower the chain stop so that it drops behind the tooth that you want to

start with.

FINALLY

12. Lock the chain in the sliding guide

by turning the handle clockwise.

The handle should be positioned

so that you can easily release and

tighten it.

• You will need to release it each

time you move to the next

tooth, and tighten it to sharpen

each tooth.

of bystanders.

2. Plug in the power cable and push

the (I) button to turn on the

sharpener.

3. Slowly lower the grinding wheel to

sharpen the tooth.

• If you notice slight errors in your

settings, turn off the sharpener

and unplug it before you make

your adjustments.

4. After sharpening the tooth, release

the top housing and turn off the sharpener.

5. Rotate the handle anti-clockwise,

and move the chain so that the

next tooth on that side of the

chain (every other tooth) is

positioned against the chain stop.

6. Re-tighten the handle to lock the

chain in place.

7. Turn the sharpener back on and

repeat this process until you have

sharpened all of the teeth on this

side (every other tooth) of the chain.

8. Loosen the locking wheel and rotate the chain holder assembly to the

same angle on the other side of the 0 on the scale then retighten the

locking wheel.

9. Place the first tooth that hasn't been sharpened in position against the

chain stop.

10. Repeat the sharpening procedure for the remaining teeth on the chain.
