4. Use the Angle Adjusting Knob to rotate the tool's
housing to match the degree of angle needed to
sharpen the chain. Use the Angle Gauge on the base
as reference.
NOTE: Chains come in various sizes with varying
degrees of sharpening angles. Check with
your chain manufacturer's manual to determine
what degree you need to sharpen at.

the Angle Adjusting Knob.

the Lock Nut, fully tighten the Lock Knob. See Figure 4.

is secured, plug in the Chainsaw Sharpener and
