Sharpening a saw chain
Note: Ensure the tool is set up as described in 'Fitting the chain clamp
assembly and setting the sharpening angle' in order to begin sharpening
the left angled teeth.
Sharpening the left angled teeth:
1. Place the chain into the Chain Clamp Assembly (11). The hook of the
teeth should face away from you
2. Lower the Chain Stop (13) so that it is resting on the rear of a left
angled tooth
3. Rotate the Chain Stop Adjustment Knob (12) so that the tooth is properly
positioned when the grinding wheel is pulled down
4. Lock the chain into place by screwing the Chain Locking Knob (9)
inwards
5. Check that the depth stop is correctly set. The machine head should be
stopped before the wheel can cut into the lower part of the chain. To
adjust, rotate the Depth Adjustment Knob (7)
6. Connect the machine to the mains supply and switch on
7. Grip the Handle (4) and pull the wheel down onto the blade tooth
WARNING: Remove as little material as possible and do not work too long
on a tooth. The maximum amount that can be removed from each single
tooth varies from chain to chain. Obtain this information from the chains
manufacturer's instructions and recommendations.
8. Raise the wheel and switch off. Allow the wheel to come to a complete
stop, and disconnect from mains supply before proceeding
9. Loosen the Chain Locking Knob (9) and move the chain forward so that
the Chain Stop (13) is resting on the rear of the next left angled tooth
10. Repeat the above steps to sharpen the rest of the left angled teeth
Sharpening the right angled teeth:
11. Loosen the Angle Locking Knob (8) (the machine might need to
be removed from the workbench) and rotate the clamp assembly
clockwise until the sharpening angle recommended by the chain
manufacturer shows on the left side of the '0' mark
12. The right angled teeth can now be sharpened in the same way as for
the left
Adjusting the height of chain depth limiting gauges
• Once all the teeth have been sharpened, the depth gauges must be
checked
• The depth gauges are measured against the teeth (see Fig. A). Refer to
chain manufacturer's literature for the correct depth setting
• If the chain has been repeatedly sharpened, the chain depth limiting
gauges may need to be filed down using a flat metal file (not included)
as shown in Fig. A
• File down each gauge so that they are at the distance to the cutting
teeth recommended by the manufacturer
Accessories
• Replacement grinding wheels (product code 730640) are available from
your Silverline stockist
Maintenance
WARNING: Always unplug the machine from the mains power supply before
removing or fitting any attachments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body
of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean,
dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Changing the grinding wheel
WARNING: Ensure the machine is disconnected from the mains power
supply before replacing the grinding wheel.
Note: Always replace wheels before they become excessively worn. Do not
allow wheels to wear below a diameter of 70mm.
220W Electric Chainsaw Sharpener
WARNING: Never fit a grinding disc with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of this machine.
WARNING: Only fit grinding wheels of the correct size and arbour diameter
for this machine (see "Specifications").
1. Unscrew the Angle Locking Knob (8) and remove the Chain Clamp
Assembly (11) from the base casting
2. Unscrew the three Phillips screws around the Wheel Guard (3)
Note: The screws are secured by small metal chains to prevent them
being lost.
3. Remove the Eye Shield (2) and Wheel Guard (3)
4. Slide the Spindle Locking Pin (14) into the Spindle Locking Hole (6)
with the small diameter end first. Rotate the grinding wheel by hand
until you feel the pin engage with the motor spindle. Hold the pin in
this position
5. Remove the retaining nut from the centre of the grinding wheel, using
the Box Spanner (16)
6. Remove the flange and the grinding wheel
7. Mount a new grinding wheel on the spindle and place the flange and
retaining nut on top
8. Ensure that the retaining nut and wheel guard are replaced and
securely tightened before use
WARNING: Over-tightening the retaining nut can cause the wheel to crack.
Do not use excessive force.
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking
• If you suspect that the brushes may be worn, have them replaced at an
authorised service centre
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of
children
