SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Ensure your mains voltage corresponds to the voltage mentioned on the
rating plate.

• Persons with limited physical or mental abilities should not be allowed to use
this chainsaw sharpener, unless they are supervised by a qualified person.

• The unit is designed for sharpening all common chainsaw chains. Do not
use it for any other purpose.

• Do not sharpen damaged chainsaw chains.

• Do not operate the unit without the protective cover in place and make
sure that all parts are firmly assembled before starting the unit.

• When sharpening, always wear protective goggles. Wear suitable clothes.
Take off jewellery and tie long hair back.

• Protect your ears by wearing ear protectors.

• Do not operate the unit if it does not work correctly or has been dropped.

• Do not disassemble the unit and do not try to repair it yourself. Contact your
customer support.

OPERATING HINTS

• Before you sharpen the chainsaw chain check it for damages, such as:

- bent or abraded chain links.

- broken cutting teeth, loose rivets or broken rivet heads.

If any damage is found, replace the entire chain.

• A sharp chainsaw produces wood
chips and pulls itself into the timber
being cut. When it becomes blunt,
sawdust will start being produced
during cutting operations.

• You should sharpen the chain if you
notice that you have to use force to
cut through the timber, i.e. if the saw
does not “pull” anymore.

• Sharpen all cutting teeth as
uniformly as possible. This will ensure
smooth operation with a minimum of vibration. See Fig 1

• Blunt cutting teeth or parts
damaged by stones may cause an
inclined cut during chain saw
operation and may also increase
the wear on the running face of the
cutting teeth.

• The depth limiter bars must be
profiled by hand. Ensure that all
depth limiter bars are equal in
height. See Fig 2

• Ensure that all cutting teeth are
sharpened to the same cutting angle.

• 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 the
chain links.

• Sharpening teeth to unequal blade
lengths can cause a side drift when
sawing. see Fig 3.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY.

Before switching the product on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply
is the same as that indicated on the rating plate. This product is designed to operate
on 230VAC 50Hz. Connecting it to any other power source may cause damage.

This product may be fitted with a non-rewireable plug. If it is necessary to change the
fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover becomes lost or
damaged, the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained.

If the plug has to be changed because it is not suitable for your socket, or due to
damage, it should be cut off and a replacement fitted, following the wiring instructions
shown below. The old plug must be disposed of safely, as insertion into a mains socket
could cause an electrical hazard.

WARNING! THE WIRES IN THE POWER CABLE OF THIS PRODUCT ARE
COLOURED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CODE:

BLUE = NEUTRAL BROWN = LIVE

If the colours of the wires in the power cable of this product do not correspond with
the markings on the terminals of your plug, proceed as follows.

• The wire which is coloured Blue must be connected to the terminal which is

marked N or coloured Black.

• The wire which is coloured Brown must be connected to the terminal which
is marked L or coloured Red.

Plug must be BS1363/A approved

Always fit a 5 Amp fuse

Neutral

(Blue)

Ensure that the outer sheath of the cable is firmly held by the clamp

We strongly recommend that this machine is connected to the mains supply via a
Residual Current Device (RCD)

If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt any repairs yourself.

This symbol indicates that this is a Class II product, and does not require an
earth connection.

ASSEMBLY

The chain saw sharpener is supplied only partly assembled.

1. Remove the bolts from both
pivot clamps as shown in Fig 4.

2. Insert the axle into the body of
the chainsaw sharpener. Fig 5.

3. Place the chainsaw sharpener
on the base plate.

• Make sure the nipple on the

chainsaw sharpener is
positioned inside the depth
limiter (N) spring as shown in
Fig 6.

4. Replace the pivot clamps and
secure in place using the bolts
removed in step 1.

Note: Before starting the unit,

make sure the grinding
disc is fixed firmly. Never
operate the unit without the
protective cover.

5. Place the base plate (A) on a
solid, level surface, e.g. a
workbench. Fig 7.

• Ensure that the base plate

extends out far enough over
the edge of the work bench
so that the chain can hang
down freely and you can
easily access the angle
adjustment screw (L) at the
bottom.

6. Mount the base plate (A) using
the mounting holes (O).

OPERATING

WHEN SHARPENING, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.

FITTING THE CHAIN TO THE

SHARPENER

1. Lift up the adjustment wedge
(G) and unscrew the fastening
screw (F), see Fig 8.

2. Place the chainsaw chain on
the chain holder assembly (J).

Fig 8

• There is a diagram on the

chainsaw holder indicating
which way the teeth should
be facing

ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUSTING THE GRINDING ANGLE

1. Rotate the chain holder
assembly (J) to the required
angle.

• Most chainsaw chains have a

cutting tooth angle of 15° or
30°. Check the chain
packaging for infomation.

2. Tighten the angle adjustment screw (L).

• Do not over tighten. The chain holder assembly should be able to

move when required but it must stay in the set position when
sharpening.

• Do not rotate the chain holder assembly (J) when the grinding disc

is moving.

• The chain holder assembly (J) clicks into place at 15° or 30°

degrees, shown by the angle indicator (K), see Fig 9.

Fig 9

ADJUSTING THE MAXIMUM SHARPENING DEPTH

3. Adjust the maximum sharpening depth using the depth limiter (N).

• Start grinding with the most worn-out tooth and sharpen all other

teeth to the same depth.

8

SWITCHING ON/OFF

6. To switch on, set the ON/OFF
switch to the ( I ) position. see Fig
10

7. To switch off, set the ON/OFF
switch to the ( O ) position. see
Fig 10

SHARPENING THE CHAIN

Fig 10

8. Make sure the chainsaw chain is
held securly between both guide
boards (M). Tighten with the
fastening screw (F) if nessecery.
see Fig 11.

9. Position the tooth being
sharpened near to the grinding
disc.

10. Put the adjustment wedge (G)
down into position (fig 12) and
move the tooth forward with the
adjusting screw(I) until the
bottom of the grinding disc (E)
can be positioned inside the
cutting edge of the tooth. See Fig

13.

Fig 11

Fig 12

• Before moving the chain to the

next tooth, switch the unit off
and wait until the grinding disc
comes to a complete stop.

• First sharpen all teeth in one

direction i. e. every second
tooth.

• Then change the sharpening

angle to the opposite
direction.

• Make sure that all teeth are

sharpened as evenly as
possible.

• Only sharpen the teeth, never the chain links.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Use a dry paint-brush to clean the unit and remove grinding

residues.

• Do not clean the unit with aggressive detergents or chemicals.

• The unit does not require any lubrication.

CHANGING THE GRINDING DISC

BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE CHAIN SAW SHARPENER
DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM MAINS SUPPLY.

1. Unscrew the bolts indicated
using the hexagonal key
supplied and remove the
protective cover (D). See Fig 14.

Fig 14

2. Use the wrench supplied to lock
the spindle and then loosen the
nut with the socket wrench.

3. Place the new grinding disc over
the spindle.

• Only use grinding discs with a

diameter of 100 mm.
