Mounting

The base of this machine has holes for mounting it to a workbench. Because of the forces applied to the machine during operation, you MUST firmly mount it to a workbench to prevent it from tipping or shifting during operation. An unexpected movement could result in injury or property damage.

Place the base flat on the workbench, slide it back until the stop flanges (see Figure 5) are against the front of the workbench. Mounting the sharpener in this manner will allow the necessary access to the chain holder lock knob.

The strongest mounting option is a "Through Mount" where holes are drilled all the way through the workbench, then hex bolts, washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the sharpener to the workbench.

NOTICE

There are mounting holes in the vertical face of the base that can be used to mount the sharpener to a wall. If you choose this mounting position, make sure there is enough room between the wall and the swing arm lock knob so that you can use the knob to change the angle of the grind- ing wheel.
