Item # 141259
· Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
· Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s
view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
· Be alert of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
·
WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate.
· Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension
cords from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and
increase the risk of electric shock.
· Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
· The sharpener-motor can be used continuously for 20 minutes; then, it needs to be turn off to cool
down to avoid possible damage from over- heating
· If sharpening chain on an electrical saw, always disconnect the electrical saw power cable.
PERSONAL SAFETY
· 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. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
· Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
· Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask
in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety
shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
· Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power
failure, while a tool is being used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is
restored.
· Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
· Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the
tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
· Never wear rings, bracelets and/or loose clothing that could come into contact with the grinding
wheel.
· Always wear gloves and approved protective eyewear while operating or maintaining the sharpener.

Only allow users familiar with the sharpener’s operation to use the sharpener.
Store the sharpener in a safe, dry place when not in use. Keep away from children.
TOOL USE AND CARE
· Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
· Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
· Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before servicing,
adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
· Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
· Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another
tool.
· Keep guards in place and in working order.
· Never leave tool running unattended.
· Never stop the grinding wheel with your hands, even after stopping the motor.
· Check that all power is disconnected when changing grinding wheels, during maintenance, or
transporting.
· Never start the sharpener without the wheel guard in place. The guard is supplied with the
accessories bag and must be installed before operation. The guard can be removed only for wheel
replacement; then, it must be reinstalled.
· Check that the voltage and frequency indicated on the sharpener correspond to supplied power.
· Never use higher rated power supply, as this will damage the sharpener.
· Never use defective and/or non-standard cables, plugs or extension cables.
· Remove power or cables immediately if cables show signs of damaged or are cut.
· The power supply cables are complete with terminals. Never use cables that are manipulated in any
way.
· Check the cable position during operation, making sure that cables stay away from grinding wheels
during operation. Never work near other electrical cables.
· Never advance the chain with-your-hands until the grinding wheel has moved entirely back to the
upright position (non-cutting position).
· Before starting the grinder, always check that the grinding wheel is correctly installed and not
damaged.
· Before using the sharpener, check any safety, or other devices, are properly working.
· Never use the sharpener as a cutter or for grinding objects other than saw chains
· Never use near or expose sharpener to any explosive or flammable liquids or environment.
· Never start the sharpener with hands or fingers touching or near wheel
· Never force the sharpener or any tool while working, maintaining or sharpening.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
