Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Switch the appliance off when it is not in use. Caution! Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain resi- dual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

5. Before starting the equipment

Warning! Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Place the chain clamping mechanism in the chuck (Fig. 3) and screw from underneath using the star screw (Fig. 4)

Before starting the chain sharpener, fasten it securely to a suitable surface (e.g. a work- bench) at a suitable place (protected against dust, dry, well-lit) using M8 fixing screws and washers (Fig. 5)

Make sure when doing so that the mounting plate of the chain sharpener is pushed onto the surface as far as it will go (Fig. 6)

5.2 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 17-18)

The battery is protected from exhaustive dischar- ge. An integrated protective circuit automatically switches off the equipment when the battery is fl at. Warning! Do not actuate the On/Off switch any more if the protective circuit has tripped. This may damage the battery.

1. Remove the battery pack from the handle,

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as

that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger (12) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.

3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-

ger. In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

voltage at the power socket

whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit If the battery pack still fails to charge, send

the charger and charging adapter

and the battery pack to our customer service center. To ensure that the Li battery pack provides long service you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the equipment drops.

6.1 Insert the chain that is to be sharpened

into the chain bar (Fig. 7) To do this, loosen the chain locking screw (1)

6.2 Set the grinding angle according to the

specifi cations for your chain (Fig. 8) (nor- mally between 30-35°)

Slacken the locking screw for setting the grin- ding angle (1)

Tighten the locking screw (1) again

Fold the chain stopper (1) onto the chain

Pull the chain backwards against the chain stopper (1) until the latter stops a cutting link (A). Important! You must make sure that the angle of the stopped cutting link coincides with the grinding angle. If it does not, pull the chain one link further.

Fold the grinding head (4) down until the grin- ding wheel (5) is touching the chain link (A) that is to be ground. (To do so, you can move the chain back and forth a little using the set- ting screw of the chain stopper (2)

6.4 Set the depth limit (Fig. 10)

Fold the grinding head (4) down and set the grin- ding depth using the setting screw (7) Important! The grinding depth should be set so that the full cutting edge of the cutting link is sharpened.

6.5 Lock the chain (Fig. 7)

Tighten the chain locking screw (1)

6.6 Grinding the chain links (Fig. 10/11)

Only use the equipment for sharpening saw chains. Never grind or cut other materials.

Before sharpening the saw chain clamp it into the chain bar. This will prevent jamming of the grinding wheel caused by a loose saw chain.

Slowly guide the grinding wheel to the saw blade. If the grinding wheel approaches the saw chain too quickly or jerkily, this may cause damage to the grinding wheel. Injuries may result from catapulting parts!

Switch the appliance on at the ON/OFF switch (1)

Carefully bring the grinding wheel (5) with grinding head (4) so that it is against the set link

Switch the appliance off at the ON/OFF switch (1). Every second link in the chain must be sharpened in this way. To know when every second link in the entire chain has been sharpened, mark the first link (e.g. with chalk). Once all cutting links on one side have been sharpened, the grinding angle must be set to the same number of degrees on the other side. You can then begin to sharpen the links of the other side(without having to make any further adjustments).

6.7 Set the depth limiter spacing (Fig. 12/13)

Once the chain has been fully sharpened, you must make sure that the depth limiter spacing is kept (the depth limiters (1) must be lower than the cutting links (2). You may need to fi le the depth limiters (1) to the specifi cations for your chain using a fi le (3) (not included in delivery).

7. Cleaning, maintenance and

ordering of spare parts Danger!

Remove the battery each time before cleaning.

Never immerse the unit in water or other li- quids in order to clean it.

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.

We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.

Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at- tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Changing the grinding wheel

1. Remove the grinding wheel (Figs. 14-16)

2. Fit a new grinding wheel

3. Assemble in reverse order

Do not use grinding wheels that are worn, broken, cracked or otherwise damaged. Use only genuine grinding wheels.
