Blunter the cutters, greater must be this forward movement. Vice versa, for cutters
that are not too blunt, simply grind just a slight amount of material.

skim the bottom of the cutter vertically.

- Wear personal protection equipment when sharpening.
- All adjustments must be made with the motor switched off and the grinding
wheel completely stopped.
- In the case of accidental impact or collision of the wheel during the shar-
pening process, follow the instructions given in the “GRINDING WHEEL
WARNINGS” section.
- Clean the chain before sharpening it.
- To avoid overloading the motor excessively and to avoid damaging the chain cut-
ters , grind minimum quantities of material and do not stop along the same cutter
as this could burn the cutting edge.
- Sharpen all the cutters on the same side and then adjust the vise as explained in
the previous sections, then sharpen the cutters on the opposite side.
- Do not use cooling liquids during the sharpening process.

.
- Sharpen the gauge following the instructions given in the “SHARPENING” section.
For this type of sharpening procedure, there is no difference between the right and
left cutters, therefore sharpen all the gauges one after the other.
