OPERATION

3. OPERATION
CAUTION!: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A RESIDUAL
CURRENT DEVICE (RATED AT 30MA OR LESS).
Prior to operation, ensure you have read and understood the
operating instructions. Ensure you wear safety gear such as
hearing and eye protection.
Connect the tools power-plug to a power-point.
If multiple chains are to be sharpened, it is suggested the
sharpener be turned off at the completion of each chain for a
period equal to that of sharpening the previous chain.
Turning the tool
ON and OFF
To turn the tool on,
press the green 'I' button.
To turn the motor off,
press the red 'O' button.
Note: When turning on the
sharpener, stand to one side of the
tool. Ensure you wear safety glasses
and ear protection.
Using the sharpener
Turn on the sharpener, and slowly
lower the hand-piece. If you notice a
slight error in your settings, turn off
the tool and unplug from the power-
point prior to making any further
adjustments.
Note: A successful grind occurs when
the contact between the wheel and
tooth is gradual and smooth.
CAUTION: DURING OPERATION, IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO
OVERLOAD THE SHARPENER. THE SHARPENER SHOULD
RUN AT ALMOST FULL SPEED AT ALL TIMES. IF TOO MUCH
PRESSURE IS APPLIED, THE SHARPENER WILL START
TO SLOW DOWN (NOTICED MAINLY BY THE DRAMATIC
AUDIBLE CHANGE OF THE MOTOR.
Should the sharpener speed slow down, allow the hand-piece to raise
up a little (in effect allowing the wheel to lift away from the chain) and
let the motor return to full speed before continuing to sharpen.
The chain saw chain is
fitted with two sets of teeth,
usually every second tooth
is the opposite to the last.
When there is an odd
number of teeth in the chain,
the teeth can be doubled up ie. left, left, right.
Should the chain have an odd number of teeth, check to find this
point, and be aware of this condition.
ON
OFF
The sharpening process consists of two operations. These are, setting
to the left, and then setting the right. It is suggested that you sharpen
all of the teeth that face one side (every second tooth) and then
proceed to sharpen all the teeth on the opposite side.
It is important to always ensure the tooth is correctly located against
the chain stop, the chain is correctly locked in place, the initial set-up
as previously described has been correctly carried out, and the correct
safety gear is being worn.
With the chain correctly aligned against the chain stop and the depth
stop set (refer to Setting of the sharpener instructions prior to the
operation), start the tool whilst standing to one side of the sharpening
wheel and allow the motor to run for several seconds (allowing the
motor to get up to full speed).
Check the above settings by carefully
lowering the sharpening wheel down the
face of the tooth until the hand-piece
comes to a stop.
As the sharpening wheel passes down the
face of the tooth, it should be a light even
pass.
DO NOT attempt to try and make a heavy
pass. It should be a very light "brush" of
the front face of the tooth. If the cut is too
heavy, stop and allow the hand-piece to
rise back up, and turn the tool off. If the
pass was too heavy, adjust the chain
stop adjusting knob in an anti-clockwise
direction slightly (suggest no more than
1/8 of a turn). Then tighten the chain stop
adjusting knob lock nut.
Once sharpening of the tooth completed,
rotate the guide clamp lever fully to the left
to unlock the chain clamp (sliding guide).
Slide the chain to the right, allowing the
chain stop to ride over the links and teeth
until the next tooth (orientated the same as
the first tooth) rides under the stop.
When the tooth slides under the chain
stop, gently slide the chain to the left so
the stop engages and locates the tooth.
With the rear of the tooth firmly located,
lock the clamping lever, and repeat the cutting test. If the sharpening
wheel is not grinding a sufficient amount off the face of the tooth,
repeat the above adjustment but rotate the chain stop adjustment knob
clockwise.
Lower the hand-piece (in effect lowering the wheel) fully until the wheel
reaches the bottom of the tooth. Check to ensure the sharpening wheel
has not cut into the chain link.
If the sharpening wheel touches the chain link, re-set the stop by
adjusting the depth of grind knob in a clockwise direction (suggest 1/8
turn at a time). Re-test after each adjustment.
