Connect machine to mains outlet.
▪ To switch on, set “on/off” switch to “I” position; the machine starts (see A no. 1).
▪ To switch off, set “on/off” switch to “0” position; the machine stops (see A no. 1).
The grinder will still continue to run after the machine has been switched off.
Risk of injury. The electric motor is designed for operating mode S1. The
motor switches off automatically wehen overloaded. After a cooling time
(time varies), the motor can be switched on again.
Testing the grinder:
Before using for the first time, and each time the grinding wheel is changed, test by letting grinder
spin freely for at least 30 seconds. Switch machine off if wheel rotation is not round, if significant
oscillations are noticeable, or if machine makes abnormal noises.
8.2 Sharpening saw chains (Fig C)
▪ Incorrect sharpening of the saw chain can lead to a damaged chain, increasing the risk of
the saw bucking!
▪ Ensure the chain is precisely adjusted.
▪ Take correct grinding angle and the saw chain’s minimum dimensions into consideration.
▪ Remove as little matter as possible.
▪ Do not grind non-cutting or connection links, to avoid cracking chain.
▪ Negligence could lead to risk of accident when using the chainsaw.
8.3 Sharpening instructions
▪ After sharpening, all cutting links must be of equal length and width.
▪ Chain is worn down and must be replaced with new one when saw teeth are less than
4mm long.
▪ Make sure suspended transparent safety guard moves freely and does not get stuck. Do
not overly tighten safety guard fastening screws (6).
8.3.1 Inserting saw chain:
▪ Unscrew clamp screw (9) and position saw chain on guide rail (12). The saw teeth must
be facing the grinding wheel (8).
▪ Click chain stop (10) down and pull saw chain back until saw tooth to be sharpened (25)
rests against chain stop (see figure1).
8.3.2 Setting grinding angle:
▪ Set required grinding angle using rotation table (14) and angle gauge (4).
8.3.3 Adjusting chain stop:
▪ Lower grinding head (2). Turn adjusting screw (11) until saw tooth (25) rests against
grinding wheel (8).
▪ Clamp chain link by turning clamp screw (9).
▪ Adjust grinder depth stop using adjusting screw (16) in such a way that grinding wheel (8)
touches base of saw tooth.
8.3.4 Sharpening:
▪ Switch machine on (see “Switching on and off“).
▪ By gently pressing on hand grip, (3) lower grinding wheel (2) and grind saw tooth sharp.
▪ To move the chain along, switch machine off. Loosen clamp screw (9) and clamp
following chain link to be sharpened using adjusted stop (10) and clamp screw (9).
