Frequently Asked Questions - FQ-SKS 235 For_Q

How to install the FQ-SKS 235 sharpener?

Place the base of the machine on a flat and stable surface, fix it using the table mounting kit (M8x100 screws, washers, nuts). Install the machine head on the base with the cutting angle screw kit (M8x50 screws, washers, locking knob). Mount the handle on the head, then plug in the power cable.

How to adjust the cutting angle and top plate angle?

For the top plate angle (B), loosen the vice locking knob (10) and set on the graduation (9) between +40° and -40°. For the cutting angle (A), loosen the cutting angle locking knob (13) and set on the graduation (14) between 90° and 40°. Tighten the knobs after adjustment.

How to replace the grinding wheel?

Unplug the machine. Use the 4 mm Allen key to remove the three screws of the protective screen and remove it. With the 5 mm Allen key, remove the screw holding the grinding wheel and remove the old wheel. Place the new wheel on the spindle, tighten the screw, then put back the protective screen and its screws.

What are the essential safety instructions?

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask and protective gloves. Make sure the grinding wheel is in good condition, the machine is securely fixed to the workbench, and do not use it in the presence of flammable liquids. Always unplug before any maintenance.

How to sharpen a chain with this sharpener?

Lift the chain stop, insert the chain into the chain bar (rotation direction left to right). Set the top plate angle and cutting angle. Lower the grinding wheel behind a right cutter, adjust the cutting depth with the screw (12). Slowly lower the head to sharpen. Repeat for all right cutters, then reverse the angle for left cutters.

What to do if the motor does not rotate?

Check that the machine is properly plugged into a suitable wall outlet. Ensure the power supply is active. If the problem persists, contact an authorized maintenance service.

How to maintain the sharpener?

Keep the machine clean and dry. Clean it with a soft damp cloth (no alcohol or petroleum-based products). Regularly lubricate all moving parts. Periodically check the fasteners as they may loosen due to vibrations. Inspect the grinding wheel regularly and replace it if worn.

What types of chains can I sharpen?

The sharpener can sharpen chains of pitch: 1/4 in, 0.325 in, 3/8 in, 0.404 in, and 3/4 in. Use the provided indicator to determine the exact pitch of your chain.

How to check the chain depth gauge?

Use the provided indicator. Place the centering mark 0 above a chain rivet. Read the chain type on the index mark. The depth gauge must be lower than the cutters (usually 0.64-1.28 mm). If the gauge is at the same level as the indicator, the chain is worn and can no longer be sharpened.

How to clean the sharpener?

Make sure the machine is unplugged. Use a brush or soft damp cloth to wipe the body. A mild detergent may be used, but avoid alcohol, petroleum-based, or caustic products. Do not clean plastic parts with aggressive agents.

EN 133

Saw chain parameters

A saw chain is made of repeating segments. A complete segment is shown below, it consists of a left cutter followed by a link and a right cutter followed by a link. Each cutter or link is linked to a guiding element, that keeps the chain on the blade:

Left cutter Right cutter

▶ Rotation direction ▶

Each cutter consists of a cutting angle A and a top plate angle B. Both of these angles can be set on the chain sharpener. The depth gauge C is filed by hand.

Left cutter

A		Cutting angleCutting angle
B		Top plate angleVise angle
C		Depth gaugeFiled by hand

Right cutter

A		Cutting angleCutting angle
B		Top plate angleVise angle
C		Depth gaugeFiled by hand

Check the user manual of your chain saw or saw chain in order to figure out the correct grinding angles.

For most chains, the cutting angle A (set on the cutting angle scale 14) should be between 50°-60° and the top plate angle B (set on the vise angle scale 9), should be between 30°-35°.

Depth gauge

After the cutters have been sharpened, ensure that the depth gauge is respected. The depth gauge has to be lower than the cutters. Check the depth gauge of your chain in the saw chain specifications. If necessary, file the depth gauge using a file with file guide (not included).

For most chains, the depth gauge C is 0.025" - 0.050" or 0.64 mm - 1.28 mm.

Use the indicator to check the depth gauge:

DEPTH GUAGE .025 IN 8 3/8 1/4 404 3/8 325 304

The saw chain is worn out and cannot be resharpened if the depth gauge C is at the same level as the indicator on the guiding element:

Machine preparation

To identify the type of saw chain, place the indicator with its 0 marking centric above a rivet of the saw chain. The type of chain can be read on the index marking either two rivets to the left or right:

CHAIN PITCH (3 RIVETS) 7/16 3/8 0 .354 1/4.325 .404 1/2 HA SE RAD 404 GAUG 7/16 2 1 1 20

The example above matches the left marker and indicates a 3/8" chain.

The indicator also shows the corresponding grinding wheel thickness:

DEPTH GAUGE .030 IN 7/16 .404 3/8 .325 1/4 1/2 7/16 .404 3/8 GRINDING WHEELS FOR CHAINS

Check if the proper grinding wheel is installed. If necessary, use the trimming stone to give the grinding wheel the smooth round shape of the indicator.
