INSTALLING THE SHARPENING MACHINE

The machine must not be located close to gas, liquids or other materials that might catch fire or explode.

Install the machine on a bench or stand.

NOTE: The machine must be securely fixed. 1

The machine should be mounted so that the front edge of it reaches 1-5 mm over the edge of the bench or stand. 2

POWER SUPPLY

For optimum performance, the machine should be connected to a 12-volt car battery, but it can also be powered from a battery charger or some another converter with an output of 12 to max 15 volts (at least 10 amps). Connect appropriate cables to the terminals of the sharpening machine. Connect the red cable to + and the black to -. If the cables are switched the grinding machine will not work.

Check that the direction of rotation agr ees with the arrow on the grinding wheel guard.

The grinding wheel must not be running when the sharpening machine is being set up. The incoming power must always be switched off when during set up.

CUTTING ANGLE

The cutting angle can be varied between 90°

°. Slacken knob 18. Turn the grinding

CENTRING THE GRINDING WHEEL

If the lengths of the right and left cutting links

turn out different on sharpening, this can be adjusted with adjusting screw 11. When the screw is adjusted, the length of the inner or outer cutting links increases.

Be ready to stop the machine if something goes wrong during trial sharpening.

Check that the grinding wheel is not cracked and that it is securely fixed to the spindle. Stop the grinding wheel immediately if abnormal vibrations occur.

TRIAL SHARPENING

Test the various functions of the machine and study its motions. Always stop the machine when the grinding head reaches its uppermost position. The chain rulers are then “unlocked” and the chain is free. When you have done a trial run with the machine and feel familiar with it, you can put in a chain. Now test-sharpen a chain, following the instructions in the section Sharpening cutting links. In the interest of safety, use an old chain.

Page 10

SHARPENING CUTTING LINKS

Always wear safety gloves when handling saw chains. Risk of cutting injury.

With manual or automatic shoutdown. The machine can be stopped manually without a stop clamp when sharpening is complete, or with a stop clamp as described below. Activate Power on, switch 7 Start grinding motor only with switch 1. Using profile stone 7, profile the grinding wheel for the type of chain to be sharpened, as shown in Figure H. Check with profile template 6. Stop the grinding motor with switch 1. Place the chain to be sharpened between chain rulers 8. Pull the chain around by hand and check that it runs freely in the chain track. Check also whether the chain has “double links”, that it does not have an y bur rs on the drive links and that it is not damaged.

NOTE: If there are double links, see the instructions for double links.

• Check that the grinding head is square to the teeth.

• Start the automatic system with switch 2.

• With wingnut 6, set the correct stroke for the chain to be sharpened.

• Set the approximate sharpening depth with wheel 5.

• Set the approximate sharpening depth with wheel 4.

• Start the grinding motor only with switch 1.

• Set the sharpening depth finely with wheel 5.

• Set the sharpening length finely with wheel 4.

• Stop the automatic system with switch 2 and the motor with switch 1.

• Then fix clamp 9, see Fig F, after the first or last sharpened tooth.

• Let the machine run one revolution to clamp 9. Fig F. Stop the machine against stop arm 20.

SETTINGS AND SERVICING

The incoming power must always be switched off.

If one cutting link gets too deep or too shallow, this can be changed by slackening screw 1, 2, 3 or 4 and turning motor 5 as shown. Turn the motor in the relevant direction and tighten the screws. The machine is largely maintenancefree, but it should be kept clean by removing any grinding dust.

The wire (3) must be inspected after 40 hours’ running to check that it is not in poor condition and that its tension is correct.

A = Deeper grinding on this cutting link.

B = Deeper grinding on this cutting link.

Replace the wire immediately if it is in a poor condition.

Basic tips:

Cutting angle, see page 8 in the operator's manual. In most cases we recommend to grind at 60 degrees or from 50 to max 75 degrees. This also applies if the chain manufacturers recommend other settings.

Sharpening settings, see page 12 in the operator's manual. The stroke length setting is changed by loosening the wing nut. Now slide the plate that controls the stroke length so that the front feeder arm falls down approximately 2 mm behind the cutting tooth to be fed forward. Tighten the wing nut.

Dressing the grinding wheel, see page 13 in the operator's manual. Before sharpening the cutting links, dress the periphery of the grinding wheel so it has an even radius. The grinding wheel must be round before sharpening and correspond to the round file intended to sharpen the equivalent chain. Check against the supplied dressing gauge (which also acts as a transport support).

The supplied sprocket weight can ideally be used as a weight on the chain to stretch it when sharpening. It is beneficial if the chain is slightly “tight”.

This grinder can sharpen most available saw chains, but not 404 chains designed for logging machines.

Equally long cutting links, see page 9 in the operator's manual (CENTRING

THE GRINDING WHEEL). If the right and left-hand cutting links are of different lengths after they have been sharpened, this is adjusted using the adjuster screw, 11. When adjusting the adjuster screw the length of the inner and outer cutting links decreases respective increases.
