3. Do not use the Chainsaw Sharpener without
the Grinding Wheel Cover in place.
4. Always test the Grinding Wheel by running it
for a minute prior to contact with a chain.
5. Keep away from the wheel when it is turning,
and make sure no one is standing close, in
the line of the wheel rotation trajectory.
6. If the grinding wheel vibrates, turn off the
machine immediately and check that it is
mounted securely, and that is not damaged.
7. Do not try to stop the grinding wheel with
your hands, even if you are wearing safety

Vibration Safety

This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or
long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a doctor
and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or worsened
from use. Pregnant women or people who have
impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand
injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you
feel any medical or physical symptoms related to
vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or
blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
