5.2.1

Preparing the grinding wheel

WARNING Before a chain is sharpened, make
sure that the grinding wheel is not cracked, does not
vibrate or wobble. Perform a "ring test"; see section
4.5, "Installing the grinding wheel". If the grinding
wheel is damaged, it must be replaced immediately;
see section 6.3, "Changing the grinding wheel and
fitting the grinding wheel guard".
If abnormal vibrations occur during operation,
immediately stop the machine and check the
condition of the grinding wheel. Make sure all the
switches are turned off before turning the power
back on.
Note: Before each chain is sharpened, make sure
the grinding wheel edges match the shape of the
chain type.
The condition, type and profile of the grinding wheel
is essential for the machine's accurate operation.
The instructions that follow contain information on
how to make sure that the grinding wheel is in good
condition and has the correct profile.
1. Press the power button to turn on the machine.
2. Set the grinding wheel switch to ON.
3. Make sure that the grinding wheel does not
vibrate or wobble. If the grinding wheel is
damaged, it must be replaced immediately; see
section 6.3, "Changing the grinding wheel and
fitting the grinding wheel guard"
4. Make sure the grinding wheel edges match the
shape of the chain type.
• For ceramic grinding wheels: Use the profile
stone (included in delivery) to shape the
edges on the grinding wheel. Use a
light-sweeping action to shape the edges of
the wheel. Use the provided template to verify
proper radius shape for the specific grinding
wheel being used
