General safety instructions for electric tool

CAUTION: Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any failures made in following the safety regulations and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place for future use.
The term “electric tool” used in the safety instructions refers to electric tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated electric tools (without a power cable).
Workplace

  • Keep your work area clean and tidy. Cluttered and dark working areas are accident-prone.
  • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, where flammable liquids, gases or dust are present. Power tools generate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
  • Keep children and other persons away while operating a power tool. Distractions can be a reason for losing control of the tool.

Electrical safety

  • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
  • Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. If your body is grounded the risk of an electric shock increases.
  • Do not expose the power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water that enters a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • Do not abuse the cord; do not use the cord to carry or hang up the power tool or to unplug the power tool from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or the power tool’s moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords will increase the risk of electric shock.
  • When operating a power tool outdoors, use only extension cords that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension cord that is adapted for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
  • If working with the power tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit interrupter. The use of a ground fault circuit interrupter reduces the risk of electric shock. Always check whether the mains voltage complies with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the power tool.

Warning!
This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool.
Personal safety

  • Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use the power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
  • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat or ear protection depending on the type and use of the power tool will reduce personal injuries.
  • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before connecting it to the power supply and/or battery, picking it up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invite accidents.
  • Remove any adjusting tool or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key which has been left attached to a rotating part may induce personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables you to better control the power tool in situations which cannot be foreseen.
  • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair may get caught in moving parts.
  • If dust extraction and collection units are installed, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Using such devices reduces hazards associated with dust.

Power tool use and care

  • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. With the correct power tool you will do the job better and safer at the specified power rate.
  • Do not use the power tool if it has a defective switch. A power tool, which cannot be turned on or off with the switch, is dangerous and must be repaired.
  • Unplug the power cord from the outlet and/or remove the battery before making any adjustments to the tool, changing accessories, or storing the power tool. Such preventive safety measures prevent starting the tool accidentally.
  • Store idle power tools out of children’s reach. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  • Keep the power tools in good condition. Check that moving parts are functioning smoothly and do not lock, whether parts are broken or for any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are associated with poorly maintained power tools.
  • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are likely to block less and are easier to control.
  • Use the power tool, the accessories, bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of equipment. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Using power tools for operations different from those intended can lead to hazardous situations.

Service

  • Have your electric tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your electric tool remains safe to use

Further Safety Instructions

  • Connect the device only to a power point with a residual current protective device (RCD) with a measured residual current of not more than 30 mA.
  • Keep the mains cable and extension cable away from the grinding disk and saw chain. In the event that it is damaged or severed, immediately disconnect the plug from the socket. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from the mains. Risk of electric shock.
  • The replacement of the plug or the connection line must always be executed by the manufacturer of the electric tool or his/her customer service in order to avoid any hazards.
  • Only switch the device on once it is safely fixed to the worktop.
  • For your own safety only use accessories and attachments which were stated in the operating instructions or recommended or specified by the tool manufacturer.
  • Only use grinding discs where the printed rotational speed is at least as high as what has been specified on the nameplate of the device.
  • Carry out a visual inspection of the grinding disc before use. Do not use any damaged or deformed grinding discs. Replace any damaged or worn grinding discs.
  • Make sure that the sparks produced by grinding do not present a danger, e.g. reach people or ignite flammable substances.
  • Never keep the fingers between the grinding disc and spark protection or in close proximity to the protective hoods. There is a risk of crushing.
  • The rotating parts of the device cannot be covered due to functional reasons. Therefore, proceed cautiously and hold the workpiece firmly in order to avoid slipping which could cause your hands to come into contact with the grinding belt or grinding disc.
  • The workpiece gets hot during grinding. Do not touch the machined area, allow it to cool down. There is a risk of burning. Do not use coolants or the like.
  • If you are tired or have consumed alcohol or tablets, do not work with the device. Always have a break on time.

Working instructions

Before commencing work, ensure the following:

  • Workplace tidied?
  • Has the chain sharpener been permanently mounted on a workbench?
  • You may not start to operate the machine until you have read these operating instructions, observed all the instructions given and installed the machine as described!

Working with the chain sharpener
The protective cover (17) must cover the grinding wheel as much as possible. For this loosen the two screw (14) and adjust the protective cover appropriately. Fig.D
Always keep your hands at a safe distance to the rotating grinding wheel.

  • Do not use any damaged grinding wheels or such that have changed their shape.
  • Start working only after the grinding wheel has reached its maximum speed.
  • Only chains may be worked that can be put down and guided securely.

Working with the chain sharpener
Sharpening chains
Before making any settings to the device:

  • switch off the device
  • wait for the shutdown of the grinding wheel
  • pull out main plug

Grinding all cutting links
To grind the cutting edge of a cutting link, proceed as follows:

  1. Setting the grinding angle: Loosen the locking nut (7) to turn the rotary plate to approx. 30° and retighten the locking nut.
    The cutting edges of the cutting links are normally ground at an angle between 30 and 35°.

  2. Loosen the mounting screw (3b) and place the cutting chain in the guide rail (6) between the guide plates (5).(Fig.E)

  3. Fold the chain stop (4) down and pull the chain toward the back until the cutting link to be ground rests against the stop. (Fig.F)

  4. Pull the grinding head (13) against the cutting link for exact alignment. Set the distance with the help of the mounting screw (3a) so that the grinding wheel touches the cutting link. In addition, adjust the grinding depth with the setting screw (8).(Fig.G)

  5. Tighten the mounting screw (3b) → chain is fixed in place. (Fig.H)

  6. Carefully grind the cutting edge of the cutting link.
    To avoid damages to the chain, grind as briefly as possible and do not remove more material than necessary. (Fig.I)

  7. Grind every second cutting edge by performing steps 5 and 6. m Mark the first cutting link by a chalk mark or the like. This will help you avoid grinding cutting links twice.

  8. Turn the rotary table to 30° of the other side and grind the remaining cutting edges as described above.

Setting the depth limit distance
Once all cutting edges of the cutting links have been sharpened, your chain will be sharp but may possible not cut.
For this reason, a depth limit distance must always be observed (= distance between depth limit and cutting edge). This is usually 0.5 – 0.8 mm. 5-8 mm

A depth limit distance that is too great represents a risk of kickback. For this purpose, you must check the distance according to the specifications of your chain and file it off with a file if necessary.
Be sure to chamfer the leading edge of your depth limiter. The original shape of the cutting link must be preserved.
