24.5 SHARPENING ANGLES FOR CHAINS WITH "DOWN ANGLE"
- Find the setting angles as just illustrated.
- Set another sharpening position: the down angle. To find out which chains require
this setting, consult column E in the chain chart.
RH
24.6 SETTING THE DOWN ANGLE (FIG.22)
CUTTER
- Loosen knob M20.
- Move the vise towards the operator until the reference mark
matches the relevant value on the scale (see chain table).
24.7 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.23)
- Turn the vise clockwise.
- Position the reference mark of the vise by the desired angle.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
LH
24.8 SETTING THE DOWN ANGLE (FIG.24)
CUTTER
- Loosen knob M20.
- Move the vise towards the opposite side of the operator until
the reference mark matches the relevant value on the scale
(see chain table).
24.9 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.25)
- Turn the vise counter clockwise.
- Position the reference mark of the vise by the angle desired.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
24.10 SETTING THE CUTTING ANGLE (FIG.21-21A)
(right and left cutters)
- Loosen the handle at the back M23 and turn the arm towards
the right. Position the reference mark on the angle desired.
- Tighten knob M23 again.
24.11 SETTING THE CHAIN BLOCKING UNIT (FIG.26)
- Put the chain in the vise.
- Take the cutter up against the chain blocking device A29.
- Turn the knob P29 to position the blocking unit A29 correctly compared to the cutter.
24.12 POSITIONING THE CUTTER
- Move the grinding wheel onto the cutter to be sharpened by pulling the arm
downwards.
- Turn the knob P30 to move the chain so that the cutter cutting edge skims the
grinding wheel (fig.27). The chain should run freely over the vise throughout this
procedure but without any clearance.
- At this stage, raise the arm and screw the knob P30, to move the cutter to be
sharpened further forwards.
This forward movement corresponds to the quantity of material to be ground
from the cutter.
Blunter the cutters, greater must be this forward movement. Vice versa, for cutters
that are not too blunt, simply grind just a slight amount of material.
- Turn knob P31 to adjust the cutter sharpening depth. The grinding wheel should
skim the bottom of the cutter vertically (fig.28).
- Once you have found the exact position of the cutter, tighten and block the chain
blocking handle M32 (fig.28).
25. SHARPENING WARNINGS
- Wear personal protection equipment when sharpening.
- All adjustments must be made with the motor switched off and the grinding
wheel completely stopped.
- In the case of accidental impact or collision of the wheel during the sharp-
ening process, follow the instructions given in the "GRINDING WHEEL
WARNINGS" section.
- Clean the chain before sharpening it.
- To avoid overloading the motor excessively and to avoid damaging the chain cutters,
grind minimum quantities of material and do not stop along the same cutter as this
could burn the cutting edge.
- Sharpen all the cutters on the same side and then adjust the vise as explained in
the previous sections, then sharpen the cutters on the opposite side.
- Do not use cooling liquids during the sharpening process.
26. SHARPENING THE CHAIN
- Make sure the vise blocking handle M32 is tightened and blocked and the chain is
blocked.
- Turn the machine on using switch I33 and sharpen the cutter by lowering the arm-
motor unit (fig.29).
- Once you have sharpened the chain, raise the arm and loosen the
handle M32 (fig.29A).
- Run the chain forward to position the next cutter to be sharpened.
- Block again with the handle M32 (fig.29B) and sharpen.

28. GRINDING WHEEL DRESSING FOR SHARPENING THE DEPTH
GAUGE
- Fit the 6-mm thick grinding wheel, following the instructions given in points 13-17-18-19.
- Turn the vise so that the "0" reference mark is on position 0 (fig.30).
- Turn the arm to take the "0" reference mark to 80°/75° (fig.30).
- Position the dressing brick on the jaws and against the chain blocking unit (fig.30).
Hold the dressing brick firmly with one hand (being careful not to touch the
grinding wheel).
- Profile the grinding wheel by activating the machine and grind the grinding wheel
until you obtain a profile like the one illustrated in fig.31.
- Switch the machine off once you have finished.
29. SHARPENING THE DEPTH GAUGE
- Remove the dressing brick and put the chain in the vise.
- Center the cutter compared to the grinding wheel by turning the knobs P29
and P30 (fig.32).
- Keeping the arm tilted, adjust the grinding depth on the gauge by turning
knob P31 (fig.33).
- Sharpen the gauge following the instructions given in the "SHARPENING" section.
For this type of sharpening procedure, there is no difference between the right and
left cutters, therefore sharpen all the gauges one after the other.
- Check if the gauge depth is correct, using the template with the shape related to
the type of chain used (fig.34). Please also consult the chain table, column F.
30. STOPPING AND SHUTTING DOWN
30.1 STOPPING
Turn the machine off by turning the switch to position "0" and unplug the power cable
from the mains.
30.2 SHUTTING DOWN
Once you have finished using the machine, disconnect it and clean it thoroughly.
Store it in a dry and safe place, protected against dust and damp.
30.3 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Follow the instructions given in the "STOPPING" section before you start to
work on the machine.

30.4 HANDLING AND TRANSPORT
- If you need to transport the machine, take it off the bench or wall, dismantle the
grinding wheel and put all the parts in a packing box to protect them against impact.
- Take and lift the package with care, as indicated in Fig.35.
30.5 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
The machine is to be demolished by qualified personnel in compliance with current
laws in force in the country in which it is installed.
The symbol
(on the rating nameplate) points out that the product must not be
disposed of with normal household garbage. Contact an authorized tip or your dealer
for disposal instructions.
Before you scrap the machine, make it unusable by cutting the power supply
cable for example and make the parts safe, which could cause a source of
danger for children if they should play with the machine.

Clean the (LED) lamp carefully using a
rag or a cleaning brush.
Do not use compressed air.
Clean the grinder carefully using a rag
