GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCIONS
WARNING:
Read all instructions. Failure to follow instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term ”Power Tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to hand operated power tool(corded) or battery operated(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.Work Area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away from work area while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2.Electrical Safety
a. Power tool (corded) plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3.Personal Safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. Any in-attention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. ALWAYS wear ANSI approved eye protection. Safety equipment such
as gloves, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce risk of personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

4
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust
related hazards.
4.Power Tool Use and Care
a. Do not force any power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. ALWAYS Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended may result in serious or hazardous situations.
5.Battery Tool Use and Care
a. Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before inserting battery pack. Insert the battery
pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger for one type
of battery pack can create risk of fire when used with a different battery pack.
c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
e. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidently occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical
help immediately. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

OPERATION-SHARPENING CHAINS
WARNING: ALWAYS Wear ANSI approved eye protection
when operating this product.
ADJUST SHARPENING ATTACHMENT (SEE FIG.5,6,7)
Due to many different sizes and types of chain, adjustment to the sharpener attachment may
be needed. Follow these below steps to determine adjustments:
1. Determine the size and pitch of saw chain to sharpen.
Refer to your Chainsaw Owner’s manual, or contact the chain manufacturer to find your
chain size and pitch.
2. Next, refer to below chart for grinding stone sizes.
3. After determining correct grinding stone, refer to below figure #5, then adjust
sharpening attachment accordingly. Separate metal guide and plastic guide using a
phillips screwdriver by removing 2 screws in top of sharpener attachment. Then use
appropriate number of spacers.
If grinding stone size:
7/32” grinding stone, use TWO spacers between metal guide and plastic guide
5/32” grinding stone, use ONE spacer between metal guide and plastic guide
3/16” grinding stone, use ZERO spacers between metal guide and plastic guide
After using correct number of spacers, re-assemble sharpener attachment.
Be sure to save unused spacers for future.
4. Next, insert correct grinding stone into sharpener tool, leaving approx. 1/4" of shank
between the grinding stone and chuck cap. SEE figure #6 below.
5. Now remove housing cap, and replace with adjusted sharpener attachment.
SEE Figure #7.
CHAIN SIZE GRINDING STONE SIZE
1/4” Pitch 5/32” (diameter) stone
3/8” Pitch 7/32” (diameter) stone
3/8” Pitch Low Profile (LP) 5/32” (diameter) stone
5/16” Pitch 3/16” (diameter) stone

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN (SEE FIG.8,9,10)
1. Set your saw on a flat, solid surface so it will not slip while you are sharpening
the chain. The chain tension should be adjusted as specified in the Chain Saw Owner’s
Manual. If it is too loose, the teeth will move, resulting in a poor sharpening.
BEST RESULTS are accomplished by sharpening on flat area of the saw bar-somewhere near
the middle of the bar.
2. Position saw so you are looking at the side of the chain bar with the motor to your
right. Cutter teeth on the far side of the chain are sharpened, from inside to outside,
or away from you, as shown in figure 8. The metal guide (B) should be laid flat on
the tooth with the 30 degree index line (L) parallel with the chain. Align by eye
with the chain.
Two or three light strokes are usually enough, unless the cutters have been damaged.
Sharpen all cutters equal. Start with the cutter with the most visual damage (i.e.
nicks or gouges) and sharpen all cutters back equally. Do not remove excessive metal
material while sharpening, as this can shorten the life of the chain.
NOTE: Sharpen cutter teeth (J) only, not the depth gauge/raker (K).
3. When all of the teeth on the top of the bar have been sharpened, advance the chain
using a glove or a rag to protect your hand, by pulling the chain toward the end
of the bar. Repeat until all the teeth on the far side of the chain have been
sharpened.
4. Next, turn the saw around so that you are looking at the side of the chain bar with

the motor to your left. Sharpen the cutter teeth on the far side of the chain, from
inside to outside, or away from you, as shown in figure.
The guide should be laid flat on the tooth with the 30 degree index line parallel
with the chain.
Repeat the process above to sharpen all of the cutter teeth on the far side of the
chain.
CHECK DEPTH GUAGE – (also called RAKER)
5. After sharpening one chain several times, you may find that it does not cut as fast.
Each cutter on the chain has a depth gauge or raker (see figure 9 letter (K) below)
just ahead of the cutting edge (J) that determines how big of bite the chain will
take. To check for proper depth of the cut, lay a metal straight edge across the
tops of the cutting edges, as shown in figure 10, and check the dimension between
straight edge and depth guide/raker. CHECK your chain mfg. info or chainsaw owner
manual for exact depth gauge relating to your size chain. As a guide, this dimension
should be approximately equal to the height or thickness of end/tip on the metal
gauge of the chain saw sharpening attachment. If the difference is very thin, or
the depth gauge/raker is taller than cutter teeth, file or grind the depth gauge/raker)
until the clearance is approximately equal to the height/thickness of the metal end
of sharpening attachment or per mfg. specification. Be careful to maintain depth
gauge shape. Do not remove more material than necessary or you will overload your
saw.
NOTE: Be careful to keep this depth gauge setting uniform on all cutter teeth or you
will not be able to make a straight cut.
