BATTERY & CHARGER (sold separately)
This tool is compatible with all battery and chargers from the Ozito Power X Change Range.
ENSURE THAT THE TOOL IS OFF AND THE BATTERY REMOVED BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING OPERATIONS.
Assembling the table
Mounting the sharpener
For safe operation of the sharpener, the base of the tool must be fitted to a flat, solid, secure surface such as a work bench.
The sharpener base is designed in two halves. The rear half is for fitting flat to a stable surface and the front is designed to protrude over the edge of the mounting surface.
The sharpener base should be fitted to the mounting surface by sliding the rear half back until the two 'steps' on the base align with the edge of the mounting surface. Ensure when mounting, that the table locking knob is still easily accessible for when adjusting the table angles.
Two 6mm mounting holes allow for fixing the base to the mounting surface (bolts not supplied). Ensure the mounting surface is capable of supporting the weight of the sharpener and chain to be sharpened.
The tool can also be clamped to mounting surface with a G-clamp or similar.
Note: Prior to using the sharpener, several adjustments must be made in order to sharpen the teeth of the chain effectively.
Failure to perform these adjustments will result in poor sharpening and possible damage to the chain being sharpened.
Before making adjustments, always ensure the battery has been disconnected from the sharpener.

Removing a Battery from the Sharpener
Prior to operation, ensure you have read and understood the operating instructions. Ensure you wear safety gear such as eye protection.
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.
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 remove battery prior to making any further adjustments.
Note: A successful grind occurs when the contact between the wheel and tooth is gradual and smooth.
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.
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.
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.
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 locking knob.
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.
Note: Movement of the chain through the chain clamp (sliding guide) should be from the HANGING chain as shown. Movement of the chain should NOT be from the top of the clamp area. To move the chain, the clamp lever should be loosened then gently pull downwards on the hanging chain. After the tooth to be sharpened has passed under the stop, gently pull the chain via the hanging chain to the left until the stop locates the chain tooth. Always select the correct orientated tooth for the set up for the table.

General maintenance
Keep the Sharpener clean and free of dust, metal debris and dirt.
Check the sharpening wheel before each use to make sure it isn't damaged. Do not use a sharpening wheel if it is chipped, cracked, or worn. You can check if the wheel has cracks not visible to the human eye by hanging it up by the central hole and tapping it with a non metal object (ie. screwdriver handle). If it is in good condition it will produce a metallic sound. A dull sound indicates a crack or break. Replace the sharpening wheel when it grinds down to a diameter of 3 inches.
Filing the chain depth
If the chain has been repeatedly sharpened, the chain depth limiting gauges (depth gauge) may need to be filed down with a flat file (not included).
The depth of the depth gauges should be NO more than 0.5mm below the cutters.
Always disconnect the battery from the sharpener prior to making any adjustments or performing any maintenance.
Ensure replacement wheels are rated at 6,500/min or higher. Using a wheel rated below the speed of the sharpener is a hazard.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings are properly tightened.
