Page 13
• During sharpening occasionally check that the cutting-angle is set correctly, as this setting may go out of adjustment due to vibration. • Make sure that all teeth are sharpened as evenly as possible. Only sharpen the teeth, never sharpen the chain links.
A dull sound indicates a crack or break. 3. Replace the grinding wheel when it grinds down to a diameter of 3 inches/7.62cm. • Replacement discs are available from your CLARKE dealer: part number (3402079).
