SECTION 5: MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect power to the machine before performing maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious person- al injury.

Schedule

For optimum performance from your machine, follow this maintenance schedule and refer to any specific instructions given in this section.

Daily Check:

•Loose mounting bolts.

•Damaged or worn grinding wheel.

•Loose lock knobs and bolts.

•Worn or damaged wires or switch.

•Any other unsafe condition.

Cleaning

Cleaning the Model T23108 is relatively easy. Disconnect the machine from power and wipe down the surfaces with a damp shop rag, then dry them with a clean, dry cloth.

Lubrication

There are not any parts on this sharpener that require lubrication by the end user.

The bearings of the sharpener motor were lubri- cated and permanently sealed at the factory and do not need any further attention unless they need replacement.

Dressing Wheels

The edge profile and surface condition of the grinding wheel (see Figure 36) is critical in main- taining the proper shape of the top plate, side plate, and gullet when sharpening.

Grinding Wheel Edge Profile

With use, the abrasive surface of the grinding wheel becomes embedded with material from the chain, which reduces its effectiveness. In addi- tion, the side and bottom edge deform and fails to effectively sharpen the cutter edges. When this happens, the sharpened surfaces become burned or discolored, instead of having a clean, silver fin- ish. Additionally, the angles will not be properly sharpened.

Use the included wheel dressing block to expose a new abrasive surface on the wheel and to re- form the side and edge profiles.
