angle so that the fi rst tooth that hasn’t been sharpened is positioned against the
Chain Stop (23) and locked in as explained on page 6. See FIGURE 11.
7. As you did with the fi rst half of the chain, be sure to lower the Top Housing (4) so that
the Grinding Wheel (8) skims the chain tooth, and lock it in place. See page 5. Follow
all of the steps on page 5 double checking everything before you plug in the machine
and turn it on again.
Remember to turn the machine off and unplug it if you need to make any adjustments.
8. After you repeat all of the steps under sharpening on page 6, your chain is ready to be
mounted on your saw.
Maintenance
1. Keep the Sharpener clean and free of dust, metal debris and dirt.
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-metal object (ie: screwdriver handle). If it is in good condition it will produce a
metallic ringing sound. A dull sound indicates a crack or break.
3. Replace the grinding wheel when it grinds down to a diameter of 75mm (3 inches).

reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or
wet locations. Don't expose to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of fl ammable gasses or liquids.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do
the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
Do not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they can be caught in
moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-slip footwear are
recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair
7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear approved impact safety goggles. Wear a full
face shield if you are producing metal fi lings or wood chips. Always use a BS or EN

8. Lock the chain in the Sliding Guides(31)
by turning the Handle (34).
See FIGURE 8.The Handle (34) 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.
9. If the chain has been repeatedly
sharpened, the chain depth limiting
gauges may need to be taken down with
a fl at fi le (not included).
See FIGURES 8 & 9. File down each
gauge so that they are at a lower level
than cutting teeth.
Sharpening
1. Always wear appropriate clothing and suitable eye protection and make sure the
immediate area is clear of bystanders.
2. Plug in the Power Cord (3) and press the green button on the Switch Plate (5) to
turn on the machine.
3. Slowly lower the grinding wheel as shown in FIGURE 10. If you notice slight errors in
your settings, turn off the unit and unplug it before you make your adjustments.
Note: A good grind occurs when the
contact between the wheel and the teeth
are gradual and smooth. Do not stop too
long on each tooth.
4. After sharpening one tooth, turn off the
machine. Lift the Top Housing (4),
release the Handle (34), and move the
chain so that the next link is positioned in
the Chain Stop (23). Tighten the Handle
(34). Turn the machine back on and
continue sharpening the next tooth. Repeat
this process until you have sharpened all
of the links set up for this angle.

with. See FIGURE 6.
4. See FIGURES 5 & 6. Loosen the Lock Wheel (18) to allow entire housing to turn.
Rotate the housing to match the degree of angle you need on the Angle Gauge.
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.
Once the degree is set, tighten the Lock Wheel (18).
5. Lower the Top Housing (4) so that the Grinding Wheel (8) skims the chain tooth.
6. Hold it at that position while you tighten
the Lock Stop (6) so that the Wheel will
only go down to that point See FIGURE 7.
7. Depending on the amount of material
you wish to remove, tighten or loosen the
Lower Knob (26) and set the Lock Nut.
See FIGURE 6. The Lower Knob (26) has
a Lock Nut, which will determine how much
material is removed. Once you set the Lock
Nut, fully tighten the Lower Knob (26).
