SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY. THE TERM “POWER TOOL” IN ALL WARNINGS LISTED BELOW REFERS TO YOUR ELECTRIC CHAINSAW SHARPENER.
WORK AREA
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges or refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment (PPE). Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to the power supply.
4. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

5. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
which it was designed.
2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Poorly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool and accessories in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICING
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE SHARPENER IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY DURING SETUP.
WARNING: NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITHOUT THE GRINDING WHEEL COVER IN PLACE.
1. Insert the chain holder assembly into the base as shown and secure from below using the Locking Wheel supplied.
• Make sure the pointer is
positioned pointing forwards (away from the grinding wheel).
2. Bolt (bolts not included) the unit directly to the workbench through the two 1/4” holes in the base. Making sure the Locking Wheel is overhanging the edge of the workbench, with enough room to turn it.
• The workbench must have a solid surface capable of supporting the weight of
the sharpener and the work piece.
OPERATION
WARNING: WHEN SHARPENING, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.
WARNING: ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE TOOL WHEN ADJUSTING THE CHAIN FOR SHARPENING.
NOTE: Sharpen all the teeth on one side first (every other tooth) before
adjusting the angle to complete the job.
NOTE: ALWAYS raise the Top Housing while adjusting the chain.
1. Put on protective goggles and make sure the immediate area is clear of bystanders.
2. Clean the chain before sharpening it. Wash it with a non-flammable solvent. DO NOT use petrol or diesel. Dry the chain.

3. Lift up the Chain Stop and place the chain in the Sliding Guide, as shown.
4. Lower the Chain Stop so that it is positioned on the tooth (blade) you want to start with, using the adjustment knob and locking nut to position the Chain Stop as required.
5. Loosen the Lock Wheel to allow the entire housing to turn. Rotate the housing to match the degree of angle you need on the Angle Gauge.
NOTE: Chains come in various sizes with varying degrees of sharpening
angles. Check with the chain manufacturers manual to determine what degree you need to sharpen at.
6. Once the degree is set, tighten the Lock Wheel.
7. Lower the Top Housing so that the Grinding Wheel skims the chain tooth.
8. Hold it at that position while you adjust the Depth Lock Stop so that the Grinding Wheel will only go down to that point.
9. Depending on the amount of material you wish to remove, tighten or loosen the Depth Lock Stop and set the Lock Nut.
NOTE: Once the Depth Lock
Stop is set, fully tighten the Lock Nut.

10. Lock the chain in the Sliding Guide by turning the Handle.
NOTE: The Handle should be
situated so that you can easily release and tighten it. You will need to release it each time you move to the next link, and tighten it to sharpen each link.
11. If the chain has been repeatedly sharpened, the chain depth limiter gauges may need to be taken down with a flat file (not included).
12. File down each gauge so that they are at a lower level than the cutting teeth.

SHARPENING
WARNING: WHEN SHARPENING, ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AND MAKE SURE THE IMMEDIATE AREA IS CLEAR OF BYSTANDERS.
1. Plug in the sharpener and press the press the start button to the ‘ON’ position.
2. Slowly lower the grinding wheel towards the chain.
NOTE: If you notice slight
errors in your settings, turn off the sharpener and unplug it before you make any adjustments.
NOTE: A good grind occurs when the contact between the wheel and the teeth
are gradual and smooth. DO NOT stop for too long on each tooth.
3. After sharpening one tooth, turn off the sharpener. Lift the Top Housing, release the locking handle on the chain holder and move the chain so that the next link is positioned in the Chain Stop.
4. Tighten the locking handle on the chain holder. Turn the sharpener back on and continue sharpening the next tooth.
5. Repeat this process until you have sharpened all the links set up for this angle.
6. After you have finished sharpening all the teeth on the chain at this angle, turn off the sharpener by pushing the start button to the ‘OFF’ position and unplugging the unit.
7. Loosen the Lock Wheel and reset the angle so that the first tooth that hasn’t been sharpened is positioned against the Chain Stop and locked in as explained on pages 8-10.
8. As you did with the first half of the chain, be sure to lower the Top Housing so that the Grinding Wheel skims the chain tooth and lock it in place.
9. Follow all the steps on pages 8-10 double checking everything before you plug the sharpener in and turn it on.
10. After you have repeated all the steps in pages 8-12, your chain is ready to be remounted on the saw.

OPERATING HINTS
• Before you sharpen the chainsaw chain check it for damage, 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.
• 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 gauge
must be profiled by hand. Ensure that all depth limiter bars are equal in height.
• Ensure that all cutting
teeth are sharpened to the same cutting angle.
12
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.
• Sharpening teeth to
unequal lengths can cause a side drift when sawing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: BEFORE STARTING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES, DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM MAINS SUPPLY.
1. Keep the tool clean and free of dust, metal debris and dirt.
NOTE: NEVER clean the tool with any flammable liquid.
2. Check the grinding wheel before each use to make sure it isn’t damaged. DO NOT use a grinding 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 metallic object (ie a screwdriver handle). If it is in a good condition it will produce a metallic sound. 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).
