7. Operation
Important! Always switch the appliance off and
unplug the power plug before making any
adjustments.
7.1 Inserting the chain you want to sharpen into
the guide bar (Fig. 10)
Do this by undoing the chain locking screw (6).
7.2 Setting the grinding angle according to the
specifications for your chain (Fig. 10)
(normally between 30-35º)
앬 Undo the locking screw for setting the grinding
angle (4).
앬 Set the desired grinding angle using the scale (3).
앬 Re-tighten the fastening screw (4).
7.3 Setting the chain stopper (Fig. 10)
앬 Swing the chain stopper (1) onto the chain.
앬 Pull the chain backwards against the chain
stopper (1) until the stopper stops a cutting link
(Fig. 16/Item B). Important. You must make sure
that the angle of the stopped cutting link
coincides with the grinding angle. If it does not,
pull the chain one link further.
앬 Swing down the grinding head (10) until the
grinding wheel (8) touches the chain link you want
to ground. (To do so, you can move the chain
back and forth a little using the setting screw of
the chain stopper (2)).
7.4 Setting the depth limit (Fig. 11)
앬 Swing down the grinding head and set the
grinding depth with the setting screw (7).
Important. The grinding depth should be set so
that the full cutting edge of the cutting link is
sharpened.
7.5 Locking the chain (Fig. 11/12)
앬 Swing down the grinding head as far as it will go
and tighten the chain locking screw (6) until the
chain no longer slips.
7.6 Grinding the chain link (Fig. 10/15)
Important.
앬 Use the equipment only for sharpening saw
chains. Never grind or cut other materials.
앬 Make sure that the chain is clamped securely in
the guide bar when the grinding head is swung
down. If this is not the case, tighten the chain
locking screw (6) a little.
앬 Slowly guide the grinding wheel to the saw blade.
If the grinding wheel approaches the saw chain
too quickly or jerkily, this may cause damage to
the grinding wheel. Injuries may result from parts
being catapulted out.
앬 Switch on the equipment with the On/Off switch
(9).
앬 Carefully move the grinding wheel (8) with the
grinding head (10) against the set link.
앬 Switch off the equipment with the On/Off switch
(9). Every second link in the chain must be
sharpened in this way. When you swing up the
grinding head, the chain will be released again by
the Bowden cable mechanism. The two
adjustment screws must be used to move the
next cutting link into position. To know when every
second link in the entire chain has been
sharpened, mark the first link (e.g. with chalk).
Once all the cutting links on one side have been
sharpened, the grinding angle must be set to the
same number of degrees on the other side. You
can then begin to sharpen the links of the other
side without having to make any further
adjustments).
7.7 Adjusting the depth limiter spacing (Fig.
16/17)
Once the chain has been fully sharpened, you must
make sure that the depth limiter spacing is correct
(the depth limiters (C) must be lower than the cutting
links (B)). You may need to file the depth limiters (C) to
the specifications for your chain using a file (D) (not
included in delivery). To re-file the depth limits, fit the
chain to your chain saw.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe
the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with
compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the tool immediately
after you use it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and
some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these may be aggressive to the toolʼs
plastic parts. Ensure that no water can get into the
interior of the tool.
