Proper use

The chain sharpener is designed for sharpening saw chains. The equipment is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of misuse.
The user / operator and not the manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.
The machine must only be used for its intended purpose! Even when the equipment is used as prescribed it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the machine’s construc- tion and layout:

• Contact with the grinding wheel where it is not covered.
• Catapulting of parts from damaged grinding wheels.
• Catapulting of workpieces and parts of workpieces from the machine.
• Damage to hearing if ear-muffs are not used as necessary.

Vibration emission value ah= 3.675 m/s2 K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2

The specifi edh vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the specifi edh value in exceptional circumstances.
The specifi den vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools. The specifi edh vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful eff etc..

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

• Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
• Service and clean the appliance regularly.
• Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
• Do not overload the appliance.
• Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary.
• Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.

Caution!
Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out.
The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.

Before starting the equipment

The entire assembly process may only be carried out after the power plug has been pulled.

Fitting the grinding head (Fig. 3a/3b)
The equipment consists of the grinding head (10) and the base frame (11) which must still be fi tted.
Insert the centering pin of the grinding head into the opening of the base frame. Now insert the hexagon head bolt (A) from the front through the hole in the grinding head  and the oval hole in the base frame and secure on the back with a washer (B) and a star screw (C).

Fitting the handle (Fig. 4)
Screw the handle (13) into the intended hole on the grinding head (10).

Mounting on a table or wall (Fig. 5/6)
The equipment is designed for both table top installation and wall mounting.
When installing the equipment on a table top, first make sure that the edge of the equipment is fl ash with the edge of the table, then secure the equipment with the holes (A).
When mounting the equipment on the wall, use the holes (C) to secure the equipment. Spacer sleeves or the like should be used so that the roof cutting angle set screw remains accessible.
When mounting the equipment on a wall, make sure that it is not fi toted too high so as to avoid working at eye level.

Operation

Important! Always switch the appliance off and unplug the power plug before making any adjustments.

6.1 Insert the chain that is to be sharpened into the chain bar (Fig. 7)
To do this, loosen the chain locking screw (1)

6.2 Set the grinding angle according to the specifi cations for your chain (Fig. 8) (normally between 30-35°)

• Slacken the locking screw for setting the grinding angle (1)
• Set the desired grinding angle using the scale (2)
• Tighten the locking screw (1) again

6.3 Set the roof angle according to the specifi cations for your chain (Fig. 11) (normally between 50-60°)

• Undo the locking screw (6) for the roof angle adjustment.
• Set the desired roof angle using the scale (7).
• Re-tighten the locking screw (6).

6.4 Set the chain stopper (Fig. 9/10)

• Fold the chain stopper (1) onto the chain
• Pull the chain backwards against the chain stopper (1) until the latter stops a cutting link (A). 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.
• Fold the grinding head (4) down until the grinding wheel (5) is touching the chain link (2) that is to be ground. (To do so, you can move the chain back and forth a little  using the setting screw of the chain stopper (3)

6.5 Set the depth limit (Fig. 9/10)
Fold the grinding head (4) down and set the grinding depth using the setting screw (7)
Important!
The grinding depth should be set so that the full cutting edge of the cutting link is sharpened.

6.6 Lock the chain (Fig. 7)
Tighten the chain locking screw (1)

6.7 Grinding the chain links (Fig. 10/11)
Important!

• Only use the equipment for sharpening saw chains. Never grind or cut other materials.
• Before sharpening the saw chain clamp it into the chain bar. This will prevent jamming of the grinding wheel caused by a loose saw chain.
• 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 catapulting parts!
• Switch the appliance on at the ON/OFF switch (1)
• Carefully bring the grinding wheel (5) with grinding head (4) so that it is against the set link
• Switch the appliance off at the ON/OFF switch (1). Every second link in the chain must be sharpened in this way. To know when every second link in the entire chain has been sharpened, mark the first link (e.g. with chalk). Once all 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.

6.8 Set the depth limiter spacing (Fig. 12/13)
Once the chain has been fully sharpened, you must make sure that the depth limiter spacing is kept (the depth limiters (1) must be lower than the cutting links (2). You may  need to fi le the depth limiters (1) to the specifi cations for your chain using a fi le (14) (not included in delivery).

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
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 device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.2 Changing the grinding wheel
Important! Always switch the appliance off and unplug the power plug before carrying out any maintenance.

1. Remove the grinding wheel (Figs. 14-16)
2. Fit a new grinding wheel
3. 0Assemble in reverse order

Do not use grinding wheels that are worn, broken, cracked or otherwise damaged.
Use only genuine grinding wheels.

8.3 Ordering replacement parts:
Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

• Type of machine
