Additional Safety for Chain Saw Sharpeners

READ AND FOLLOW all safety instructions in the chain saw owner's manual.

CHAIN INSPECTION. Always visually inspect each chain component for severe wear or damage before sharpening or re-installing it on the chain saw. If in doubt, do not sharpen or use the chain until the parts or the chain can be replaced.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR. Always wear leather gloves when handling the chain. To protect yourself from flying particles, put on safety glass- es and respirator before beginning the sharpening operation.

GRINDING WHEEL INSPECTION. To avoid the grinding wheel breaking apart during operation, always inspect it and perform the ring test before using. If in doubt as to the condition of the wheel, DO NOT use it!

TOP PLATE LENGTH. If the length of the cutter top plate from the leading edge to the rear of the cutter link is less than 1⁄4" after sharpening, there is a high risk that this link will break during the cutting operation. Always inspect the cutter after sharpening and replace it or the chain if in doubt.

CHAIN SPECIFICATIONS. If the chain is incor- rectly sharpened, the links could break during use and send flying debris at the operator or bystand- ers. Always make sure the sharpener setup agrees with the chain manufacturer's specifications.

VOLATILE/FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. The grinding wheel produces sparks when sharpen- ing the chain that could cause volatile materials to catch fire or explode. Never use flammable materials to clean the chain (such as gasoline, kerosene, or mineral spirits) and never operate the sharpener near volatile or flammable materi- als.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety pre- cautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious per- sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.
