OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Grinding A Chain
Immediately unplug the
power cord if the motor
does not turn the grind wheel
when the grinder power switch
is in the “on” position. Refer to
page 7: **Grounding Instructions.
1. For best results it is recommended that
the chain be clean before grinding.
2. Always wear approved eye protection
during all steps of the grind operation and
when the grind wheel is in motion.
3. Grind all cutters of the same type (left or
right) before positioning the grinding wheel
to the opposite side.
4. When changing the grind position, make
sure the unit is turned to the “off” position
(“o” Figure 15, page 12) and the wheel
has come to a full stop before making
any adjustments.
5. To avoid overloading the motor and prevent
damage to the saw chain, remove only the
minimum amount of material necessary
and do not grind any one tooth for too
long a period.
6. Do not use cooling liquids while grinding.
7. Replace worn grinding wheels when the
diameter of the wheel reaches 70mm (2.8”).
Note: Always remember to turn the grinder
to the “off” position when not in use.
