PLACING THE CHAIN IN THE VISE
PLACING THE CHAIN IN THE VISE
– Clean the chain before sharpening it
– Check the cutters and find the one with the most damage, you will want to start with this cutter
– Ensure chain is placed in vise as shown, cutter direction heading toward right
SETTING THE CHAIN STOP

stop (10) laterally to the center of the cutter

410-120
POSITIONING THE CUTTER
Move the grinding wheel onto the cutter
to be sharpened by pulling the motor
unit (A) downwards using handle (E)
Turn the cutter adjustment knob (8) to move
the chain so that the cutter cutting edge
skims the grinding wheel (K) The chain should
run freely over the vise (14) throughout this
procedure but without any clearance
410-120
Raise the motor unit (A) using handle (E)
Turn the cutter adjustment knob (8)
clockwise, to slightly move the cutter
to be sharpened further forwards
This forward movement corresponds to
the quantity of material to be ground from
the cutter The more dull or damaged the
cutters, the greater this forward movement
should be For cutters that are not too dull,
simply grind a slight amount of material
It is also important not to grind too much material
in one pass This could result in "burning" the cutter,
reducing its hardness, and causing excessive burrs
PLACING THE CHAIN IN THE VISE
Turn cutter sharpening depth adjustment
knob (5) to adjust the cutter sharpening
depth The grinding wheel (K) should skim
the bottom of the cutter vertically
Once you have found the exact position of
the cutter, pull the vise handle (13) to the
right to tighten the vise jaws (14) You are
now ready to begin sharpening your chain
