- Maintenance & Tips
Your grinder should be stored inside out of the weather. Although it doesn't appear to be,
your grinder is a delicate tool and should be treated with care.
The grinder dust that is made when sharpening chain is composed of small particles of metal
and wheel abrasive. The grinder should be kept clean at all times and the motor and switch
should be kept free from this conductive dust.
Lubrication of moving parts should be done with graphite or another dry lubricant. Oil or wet
lubricants DO NOT work because they attract grinder grit (dust).
Diamond Dressers
Diamond dresser tips will wear and the diamonds will wear out.
The multi-point dressers will slough off diamonds as they get dull
about ¼" down. The single point dressers only have one diamond
and will need to be replaced when it gets dull.
When you see 'sparks' while dressing your wheel, the diamonds are
probably gone and the dresser needs to be replaced. Just unscrew
the old diamond dresser and thread in a new one.
Multi-point stone dressers allow the operator to make a smooth
stone surface and crisp working corner. Since the grinding wheel surface determines the ultimate
shape and finish on the cutter tooth, it is extremely important that the wheel be smooth and well
shaped.
Replacing the Grinding Wheel
