Operating Instructions (Sharpening)
Once the PowerSharp system is installed and the chain is dull, follow these steps to sharpen your chain:
- Position the Sharpener: Ensure the bar-mount sharpener is securely attached to the guide bar.
- Start motorsagen: Place the chainsaw on a stable surface. Start the chainsaw and bring it to full throttle.
- Engage Sharpening: While the chainsaw is at full throttle, lightly press the foot of the sharpener against a solid object (e.g., a stump, log, or firm ground) for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. The sharpening stone will engage with the chain cutters.
- Sjekk skarphet: Release the pressure and inspect the chain. If the chain is not yet sharp, repeat step 3 for another 3-5 seconds. Avoid over-sharpening, as this can reduce the life of the chain.

When to Sharpen
It is time to sharpen your saw chain when you observe any of the following:
- Cutting becomes slower and requires more effort.
- The chainsaw produces fine sawdust instead of coarse wood chips.
- The chain tends to wander or cut unevenly.
- Smoke is produced during cutting, even with proper chain lubrication.
Regular sharpening, even before the chain is completely dull, can extend the life of your chain and improve cutting performance.
Vedlikehold
- Clean the Sharpener: After each use, clean any sawdust or debris from the bar-mount sharpener and the guide bar.
- Inspect the Sharpening Stone: Periodically check the sharpening stone for wear. Replace the stone if it appears significantly worn or damaged.
- Kjedesmøring: Always ensure your chainsaw has adequate chain oil to lubricate the chain and guide bar during operation.
- Lagring: Store the PowerSharp kit in a clean, dry place when not in use.
