4 .6 Bench-mount the machine
An alternative to having the grinder on a stand is to bench-mount the machine
.
IMPORTANT: Althought the machine can be used on a bench with a chain weight,
it is strongly recommended to use it with the stand and air tensioner for the
best grinding results .
Bench-mounting offers you flexibility and the ability to sharpen chains
virtually anywhere using the electrical from any wall outlet or use of a 12V
power source .
WARNING Place the power converter where there is as little dust as possible
and out of reach of sparks from the machine .
If the machines are not being used with the stand and the pneumatic tensioner,
it should be used with the weight tensioner in order to provide the chain with
the tension needed for grinding . The weight tensioner is available separately
for purchase (see section 8, “Accessories and Spare Parts”) .
4 .7 Install and center the grinding wheel
The first step in preparing the grinder for use is installing and centering
the appropriate grinding wheel .
The grinder comes with 3 wheel sizes: 4 .8 mm, 7 .9 mm and 9 .5 mm . These
wheels are 150 mm in diameter with 16 mm arbor size . It is critical to select
the wheel of the appropriate thickness for each chain .
The correct wheel size for a particular saw chain can be found in the manual
or the back of the chain packaging .
WARNING Inspect the grinding wheel and make sure that it is not cracked or
damaged .
There is a simple test (called the “ring test”) that you can do to check for
damage to a grinding wheel:
· Hold the grinding wheel up by its center hole .
· Knock the edge of the grinding wheel gently with a non-metallic object (like
the plastic handle of a screwdriver) .
If the grinding wheel makes a dull, non-metallic noise, then the wheel could
be damaged . DO NOT USE IT .
CRACKED GRINDING WHEELS MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY .

chain is not sharpened as expected . Recommendation: Use an old chain for the
test . 1 . Insert a test chain into the machine and sharpen it according to
the instructions in section 5, “Operation” . 2 . Test the functions of the
machine and study its motions . 3 . Make sure that: · the right (outer) and
left (inner) cutters are sharpened to even lengths . Use a slide-gauge to
measure . If they
are uneven, see section 5 .2 .10, “Set the grinding length” . · the grinding
depth on the chain is deep enough . If the grinding wheel is worn, it needs to
be adjusted, see
section 5 .2 .9, “Center the grinding disc” . If it needs to be changed, see
section 6 .3, “Change the grinding wheel and fit the grinding wheel guard” . 4
. Repeat the sharpening test until you see satisfactory test results, and the

Issues
Possible cause
Corrective procedure
The depth of the gullets on the left and right cutters are unevenly sharpened
. The lengths of the right and left cutters are not the same . One of the
troubleshooting indicator LEDs on the control panel is lit up .
The chain is not fixed during sharpening .
The wrong cutter is sharpened .
The grinding wheel is not centered between the cutters .
The equal cutting teeth knob is incorrectly set .
There is an issue with one of the motors . An alarm is triggered and must be
corrected .
The chain vise is loose .
The air pressure is too low .
The chain was in the incorrect position when the machine was started .
The top-plate angles are not the same (e .g . 35° in one direction and 25° in the other) when the grinding head turns in the 2 different directions .
The M6 nuts needs to be adjusted .
Wrong parts of the cutters are sharpened .
The pitch adjustment wing is not in the correct position for the type of chain used .
A cutter was caught on the chain pusher, because the chain pusher is worn out and the material is uneven .
See section 5 .2 .9, “Center the grinding disc” . See section 5 .2 .8, “Set
the cutter top plate to equal lengths” . See section 7 .4, “Troubleshooting
indicators” .
See section 6 .5, “Fasten the chain lock” . Check and adjust the air pressure
. Find the cutter to be sharpened and make sure that it is in the correct
position before the machine is operated . See section 5 .2 .6, “Set the chain
pusher” . See section 5 .2 .3, “Set the top-plate angle” .
See section 5 .2 .6, “Set the chain pusher” .
· Loosen the screw that holds the chain pusher in its position .
· Discard the chain pusher in accordance with local, state, and national laws
and regulations .
· Attach a new chain pusher and fasten the screw .
Rasp the chain pusher until the material is even .
The grinding head “falls” without slowing down before it touches the cutter .
The cutters are not correctly sharpened . The top-plate angle is too
aggressive .
The metal of a cutter turns blue during grinding, which is an indication of
damaged or weakened metal .
The wire is worn and needs to be adjusted .
Incorrect settings are used .
The top-plate angle setting is incorrect . The grinding speed is set too high
and the metal is overheated .
See section 6 .5, “Fasten the chain lock” .
See section 5 .2, “Prepare for operation” .
See section 5 .2 .3, “Set the top-plate angle” . Replace the damaged cutter or
discard the chain . Lower the speed on the grinding speed knob, see section 3
.6 .1, “Grinding speed knob” .
