Working With The Chain Sharpener - Toolland VL6000 Mode D'emploi

8.2

Working with the Chain Sharpener

The protective cover (20) must cover the grinding wheel as much as possible. For this, loosen
the two screw caps (14) and adjust the protective cover appropriately.
Always keep your hands at a safe distance to the rotating grinding wheel.
 Use the factory-installed grinding wheel only to sharpen chains used in hobby applications.
 Do not use any damaged grinding wheels or such that have changed their shape.
 Start working only after the grinding wheel has reached its maximum speed.
 Only chains may be worked that can be put down and guided securely.
9. Working with the Chain Sharpener
9.1 Sharpening Chains
Before making any settings to the device:
 Switch off the device
 Wait for the shutdown of the grinding wheel
 Pull out the main plug
9.2 Grinding All Cutting Links
To grind the cutting edge of a cutting link, proceed as follows:
1. Setting the grinding angle: Loosen the locking nut (7) to turn the rotary plate approximately 30° and
retighten the locking nut.
The cutting edges of the cutting links are normally ground at an angle between 30° and 35°.
2. Loosen the mounting screw (3b) and place the cutting chain in the guide rail (6) between the guide
plates (5).
3. Fold the chain stop (4) down and pull the chain toward the back until the cutting link to rest against the
stop.
4. Pull the grinding head (13) against the cutting link for exact alignment. Set the distance with the help of
the mounting screw (3a) so that the grinding wheel touches the cutting link. In addition, adjust the grinding
depth with the setting screw (8).
5. Tighten the mounting screw (3b) until the chain is fixed in place.
6. Carefully grind the cutting edge of the cutting link.
To avoid damages to the chain, grind as briefly as possible and do not remove more material than
necessary.
7. Grind every second cutting edge by performing steps 5 and 6.
Mark the first cutting link with a chalk mark or the like. This will help you avoid grinding cutting
links twice.
8. Turn the rotary table to 30° of the other side and grind the remaining cutting edges as described above.
9.3 Setting the Depth Limit Distance
Once all cutting edges of the cutting links (a) have been sharpened, your chain will be sharp but may possible
not cut. For this reason, a depth limit distance must always be observed (= the distance between depth limit
and cutting edge). This is usually 0.5 to 0.8 mm.
