21. START-UP
- Block the arm in the completely raised position (the lock pin must be loosened).
- Plug the power cable into the mains.
22. CHECKING THE GRINDING WHEEL SHAPE
- With the machine turned off, check the grinding wheel profile using the dedicated
template (fig.17); if necessary, dress the wheel to restore the correct profile.
23. GRINDING WHEEL DRESSING
Wear personal protection equipment.
- Start the grinder by turning the switch to position "1".
- Once started, the lamp lights up to illuminate the sharpening area.
- Profile the grinding wheel with the dressing brick, always working with extreme
caution, holding it with two hands firmly and effectively (fig.18).
- Stop the machine and check if the profile is correct using the template (fig.19).
Contact with the grinding wheel while it spins at high speed may cause
burning and abrasions.
24. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
24.1 SHARPENING ANGLES
- Once you have established the type of chain to be sharpened, look-up the adjust-
ment angles (vise and arm) in the chain chart (columns C/D/E).
24.2 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.20-21)
RH CUTTER
- Loosen the knob M20.
- Turn the vise clockwise.
- Position the "0" reference mark on the vise by the desired angle.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
24.3 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.20-22)
LH CUTTER
- Loosen the knob M20.
- Turn the vise counter clockwise.
- Position the "0" reference mark on the vise by the desired angle.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
24.4 SETTING THE CUTTING ANGLE (FIG.23)
(right and left cutters)
- Loosen the knob at the back M23 and turn the arm towards the
right. Position the "0" reference mark by the angle desired.
- Tighten knob M23 again.
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.
24.6 SETTING THE DOWN ANGLE (FIG.25)
RH CUTTER
- Loosen knob M20.
- Swing the vise right inwards until the left reference mark
matches that underneath.
24.7 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.26)
- Turn the vise clockwise.
- Position the "DOWN 10" reference mark (right) of the vise by
the desired angle.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
24.8 SETTING THE DOWN ANGLE (FIG.27)
LH CUTTER
- Loosen knob M20.
- Swing the vise right towards the operator so that the right
reference mark matches that underneath.
24.9 SETTING THE TOP SHARPENING ANGLE (FIG.28)
- Turn the vise counter clockwise.
- Position the "DOWN 10" reference mark (left) of the vise by
the angle desired.
- Tighten knob M20 again.
24.10 SETTING THE CUTTING ANGLE (FIG.24)
(right and left cutters)
- Loosen the handle at the back M23 and turn the arm towards
the right. Position the "DOWN 10" reference mark on the
angle desired.
- Tighten knob M23 again.

24.11 SETTING THE CHAIN BLOCKING UNIT (FIG.29)
- 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
- Tighten the pin P17, to release the arm (fig.30).
- 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.30). 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.31).
- Once you have found the exact position of the cutter, tighten the chain blocking
handle M32 (fig.32).
Pull the handle M32 towards the operator to re-position it to facilitate the sharpening
process.
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 shar-
pening 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 cut-
ters , 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 screwed tight and the chain is blocked.
- Turn the machine on using switch I33 and sharpen the cutter by lowering the arm-
motor unit (fig.33).
- Once you have sharpened the chain, raise the arm and loosen the handle M32.
- Run the chain forward to position the next cutter to be sharpened.
- Block again with the handle M32 and sharpen.
28. GRINDING WHEEL DRESSING FOR SHARPENING THE DEPTH
GAUGE
- Fit the 1/4" (6 mm) thick grinding wheel (fig.37), following the instructions given in
points 13-17-18-19.
- Turn the vise so that the "0" reference mark is on position 0 (fig.38).
- Turn the arm to take the "0" reference mark to 10°/15° (fig.38).
- Position the dressing brick on the jaws and against the chain blocking unit (fig.38).
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.38.
- 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).
- Keeping the arm tilted, adjust the grinding depth on the gauge by turning knob P31
(fig.39).
- 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.40). 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.
