Usage Recommendations
Start by securing the chainsaw or removing the chain for a stable working position, then select the appropriately sized stone for your chain pitch.

For mobile work, connect to a vehicle battery using the supplied adaptor or clips, taking usual precautions when working near a live battery. 🔧
Benefits
The main advantage is reduced downtime, because sharpening becomes a quick task rather than a workshop job. For people who maintain their own equipment regularly, the device helps keep cutting performance consistent and can extend the effective life of chains. It is lightweight and portable, which suits seasonal work away from a fixed power source. Consider that according to the manufacturer, feed and sharpening technique will influence final results, and the tool may not be the best option for heavy industrial chains or very large pitch sizes. ⚠️
