ALWAYS UNPLUG TOOL BEFORE CHANGING
GRINDING STONES OR SERVICING YOUR TOOL.
Just prior to the tool stopping it wdl start to run
sporadically, it will lose power and it may run at a
reduced speed and make unusual noises
BALANCING GRINDING STONES--It is important
that all grinding stones be in good balance (much
the same as the tires on your automobfle)_ To true
up or balance a grinding stone, slightly loosen chuck
cap and give the grinding stone or cotter a ¼ turn,
Retighten chuck cap and run the tool, You should
be able to tell by the sound and feel if your grinding
stone is running in balance.. Continue adjusting in
this fashion until best balance is achieved.
BEARINGS--Your tool is equipped with oil impreg-
nated sleeve bearings. Under normal use not more
than 2 drops of SAE No 5 or lighter, non-detergent
otl can be added to each oil hole for each 100 hours
of use,

tool .... always wear an approved type of safety
glasses.

loosen, first unplug the sharpener from the power'
supply, then depress the chuck lock pin and rotate
the shaft by hand until the lock pin engages the shaft
preventing further rotation. NOTE: Do not depress
pin while the tool is running. With the lock pin
depressed, use the chuck wrench to loosen the chuck

MAINTENANCE--The brushes in this tool are self-
limiting. This means that when the brushes are worn
out, they stop making contact with the commutator
and the toot wilt stop running This is done to
e_iminate the possibility of a piece of the brush
and/or the spring getting loose inside the toot when
the brushes are worn out.
ADJUSTING SHARPENER
1, First, determine the type or pitch of chain on your
saw Most chains are marked with a number on the
drive link, see Figure 1 tf your chain is not marked,
refer to your Chain Saw Owners Manual for the rec-
ommended chain number.

c
2,, Refer to chart for the correct grinding stone Many
chains in use in the US,, today are Oregon® chains
so you may find your chain number in the Oregon®
column rather than the column under your chain saw
manufacturer,
3 When you have determined the correct grinding
stone for your chain from chart, assemble attach-
ment as shown in Figure 3,
If you use the _" dia (pink) stone, assembte both
spacers between the guide and the clamp.
rB]lf you use the ¾_"dia. (orange) stone, assemble
with only one spacer betweeh the guide and the
clamp
[_ If you use the _" alia (blue) stone, no spacers
are needed
