Bench-Mounting The Machine; Installing The Grinding Wheel - Markusson Grindomatic V12 Original Instruction Manual

Installation

4.4 Bench-mounting the machine

1. Always mount the grinder securely, either to
a bench or to the optional stand (see chapter
8.4).
2. Bench-mounting offers you flexibility and the
ability to sharpen chain virtually anywhere using
the electrical from any wall outlet or use of a
12V power source.
3. To connect the battery cable (to 12V battery) or
AC/DC converter unit (optional) to the machine,
plug in the black and red power cable into the
control panel through the slot on the left hand
side of the machine.
WARNING Put the power converter where
there is as little dust as possible and out of
reach of sparks from the machine.
2 mm
4. If the machines are not being used with the
optional stand and the pneumatic tensioner, it
can be used with the weight tensioner in order
to provide the chain with the tension needed
for grinding.
Note: The chain weight is an optional accessory.

4.5 Installing the grinding wheel

Note: The first step in preparing the grinder for use
is installing and centering the appropriate grinding
wheel.
1. The grinder comes with two wheel
sizes: 6.4mm, 4.0mm. The wheels are
150mm in diameter with 16mm arbor
size. It is critical to select the wheel of the
appropriate thickness for each chain.
2. The correct wheel size for a particular
Markusson saw chain can be found in
several sources: this manual, the back
of the Markusson chain packaging,
Markusson Maintenance and Safety
Manual, or online at Markusson.se.
WARNING Inspect the grinding wheel and
make sure that it is not cracked or damaged.
There is a simple test (called the "ring test") that
you can do to check for damage to a grinding
wheel. Hold the grinding wheel up by its center
hole. Knock the edge of the grinding wheel
gently with a non-metallic object (like the plastic
handle of a screwdriver). If the grinding wheel
makes a dull, non-metallic noise, then the wheel
could be damaged. DO NOT USE IT. CRACKED
GRINDING WHEELS MUST BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. See also,6.3, "Changing the
grinding wheel and fitting the grinding wheel
guard".
