15.Rotate the clamp lever to the right to firmly secure the chain between the clamp plates of the chain holder.

16.Lower the grinding wheel into the cutter gullet until it stops, then thread the depth knob bolt down until it is against the depth stop (see

Figure 33).

Important: When adjusting the depth knob bolt, keep in mind that you want to replace and sharpen angles that may be worn or damaged. Do not make the gullet any deeper than is necessary to accomplish this.

Also, taking deep cuts with the grinding wheel could burn the metal, which will damage the temper of the steel. Chain cutters that are heated excessively during sharpening become brittle and dull quickly.

It is better to make a few light passes than one deep one!

17.Back the depth knob bolt away from the depth stop by a small amount, then thread the knob lock nut down to secure the setting.

18.Adjust the advancement guide so that the chain moves slightly to the right. This will remove a small amount from the top and side plates and provide the sharpened angles.

Note: This critical adjustment is a matter of trial-and-error and experience.

19.Connect the sharpener to power and wait for the wheel to come to full speed.

20.Using a slow and steady pace, lower the grinding wheel into the first cutter link until the depth bolt hits against the depth stop, then allow the spring-loaded swing arm to raise the grinding wheel slowly.

21.While taking care not to contact the spinning grinding wheel with your hands or the chain, rotate the clamp lever to the left enough to release the chain from the clamp plates.

22.Slowly pull the chain to the right until the advancement guide falls behind the next cutter link for that side, then pull the chain to the left to firmly seat the advancement guide against the rear of the cutter link to be sharp- ened. This will properly position the link for sharpening.

23.Re-tighten the clamp lever and repeat Steps 19–22until all cutters for that side of the chain have been sharpened.

24.Turn the sharpener OFF and wait for the grinding wheel to completely stop, then dis- connect the sharpener from power.

25.Release the chain from the clamp plates, turn it around 180° so that the cutters on the other side of the chain are ready for sharpening.

26.Rotate the chain holder to align with the angle marks on the other side of the rotation scale, and, if the chain requires a gullet angle, tilt the chain holder 10° in the opposite direc- tion.

27.When you are satisfied that the sharpener settings are correct, repeat Steps 18–23for the rest of the cutters on that side of the chain.

28.Check, and if necessary, adjust the height of the depth gauges. Refer to the next subsec- tion for more information.

29.Clean and lubricate the chain per the manu- facturer's recommendation before re-install- ing it onto the chain saw.
