SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
For your own safety, please read and follow all instructions in this manual, before operating
this machine. Failure to operate or comply with the instructions in this manual may result in
injury or voiding of warranty for this tool.
Do not use any aftermarket accessory for this product, unless approved by Swarts Tools.
This product may only be serviced by Swarts Tools or by an authorised repair centre.
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp, wet or poorly lit locations. Don’t
expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don’t let them
handle machines, tools or extension cords. Visitors can be a distraction and are di󰀩cult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly installed and grounded. Grounding
provides a low-resistance path to carry electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction
electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in any way. If in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded according to code, check with a qualied electrician.
5. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerator enclosures. When your body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wherever
“live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT
TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent electric
shock if you contact a live wire.
6. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry power tool by the cord or pull on the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord
from potential sources of damage: heat, oil and solvents, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
7. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION CORD.
8. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or wet conditions can cause water to
enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
9. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE FOR ITS LENGTH.
10. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust. Equipment also should be in a high
location or locked up to keep out of reach of children
11. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.
12. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use
a tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
13. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewellery; they can be caught in moving parts. Protective,
non-electrically conductive gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from harm.

14. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you’re doing produces metal lings, dust or wood chips.
Goggles are acceptable in other situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of ne or
course dust.
15. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work piece. It’s safer than using your hands and it frees both
hands to operate the tool.
16. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across machines that
are running.
17. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. For safe performance keep handles dry, clean and free from oil

21. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF IT CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON OR OFF. Have your tool repaired before using it.
22. DISCONNECT THE PLUG FROM MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Changing attachments or accessories can be
dangerous if the tool could accidentally start.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Don’t operate any tool when you are tired.
24. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using this tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
25. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding or moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings and other conditions
that may a󰀨ect its operation. Inspect screws and tighten any that are loose. Any part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre. Don’t use the tool if switch
does not turn it on and o󰀨 properly.REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
26. SERVICE AND REPAIRS should be made by qualied repair technicians at an authorised repair centre. Improperly
27. repaired tools could cause serious shock or injury.
28. Make sure the grinding wheel is securely mounted as described in the assembly instructions before connecting the
tool to a power supply. Do not tighten wheel excessively, since this can cause cracks.
29. Check wheel for ssures and cracks and test for normal operation prior to use.

SETTING UP THE GRINDER
MOUNTING
1. Ensure the tool is securely mounted to a sturdy bench or upright post, using the bolts provided. There is a notch in the
bottom of the base to show you how far forward to mount the machine on the bench.
CHAIN IDENTIFICATION
•Prior to setting up the angles on your chain, it is important to identify the model and specications of your chain. To
ensure you are using the correct disc and angles required, there is generally an identication number on multiple teeth of
your chain. This can then be used with the chart the last page to obtain the correct model and specications needed.
•If you cannot identify your chain, you can use the blue template provided.

SETTING THE GRINDING ANGLE
1. Loosen the knob on the back of the tool (2).
2. Tilt the head to the right until you reach the angle as recommended by the manufacturer of the chain.
3. Re-tighten the knob on the back of the tool.
SETTING THE HEAD TILT ANGLE
1. Loosen the top plate knob (4) considerably, until the top half of top plate section is loose.
2. Tilt the top half of the top plate until you reach the angle as recommended by the manufacturer of the chain.

SETTING THE BACK STOP
1. Release the chain vice locking lever (3)
2. Place the chain into the track, ensuring it can move freely forwards and backwards.
3. Lower the chain backstop and pull the chain rmly up against it
4. Adjust the rear stop adjustment screw (5) forwards or backwards to bring the chain into the correct position for
sharpening.
5. Lower the grinding head down, and ensure the grinding wheel only just skims the tooth on the chain.
Note: (i) it is better to set the back stop so the grinding wheel is barely touching the tooth and adjust it further forward
while you are doing your rst sharpening as it is better to take o󰀨 too little and adjust it, rather than take o󰀨 too much. (ii)
While grinding, if the tooth turns red, there is too much contact between the wheel and the tooth and you need to release
the backstop backwards.
6. Once you are satises with the position ensure you tighten the back stop locking knob (6) to hold it in place.
7. Firmly engage the chain vice locking lever (3) once you are satised with the rear stop setting. Ensure the chain does
not move or lift up from the base of the vice.

SETTING THE DEPTH
Now it is time to set the depth of the cutter head.
1.Use the adjustment knob (1) at the rear of the tool to adjust the grinding head depth.
2.Bring the wheel down, level to the bottom of the tooth, ensuring it does not cut through the bottom of the chain.
3.Tighten the locking knob (1) to ensure it remains set, once you have the desired depth.
SHARPENING THE CHAIN
Now all of the settings are correct, you are ready to begin sharpening your chain.
1. Lower the grinder head, ensuring that you do not place your whole weight on it or force it down. Only minimal
pressure is required, so that the blade is only just skimming the surface of the tooth
2. Carry out a test grind on one tooth and adjust accordingly if the depth is not correct.
3. Cycle through all the left hand teeth of the chain, and then turn the vice around to the opposite angle. Check the
settings before you begin to sharpen the teeth on the right hand side of the chain.
DRESSING THE WHEEL
•After a certain amount of time, the edge of the grinding disc will become misshapen.
•Using the blue template provided, identify the disc size you are using
•Use the dressing stone to shape the disc to match the curve in the blue template
