The Vevor 2002K1 is an electric chainsaw sharpener designed for sharpening chainsaw chains. Before use, ensure the unit is securely bolted to a workbench. Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection. The sharpening process involves setting the correct angle, adjusting the depth, and carefully grinding each tooth of the chain.
Safety Instructions
- Personal Protective Equipment: Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles and soundproof earmuffs. Use a full face shield if producing metal filings.
- Work Environment: Keep the work area clean, well-lit, and free of flammable gases or liquids. Do not use in damp or wet locations.
- Operation Safety: Never operate the tool without the Grinding Wheel Cover in place. Keep hands away from the turning wheel. Never attempt to stop the wheel with your hands.
- Extension Cords: Use a cord with 0-10 amps capability (up to 50 feet) and 18 AWG wire size.
Assembly
The sharpener must be mounted to a solid workbench capable of supporting the weight of the unit and the workpiece. Use the two 1/4" holes on the base (#17) to bolt the unit directly to the workbench. Ensure the lock wheel (#18) remains accessible.
Mounting a Grinding Wheel
- Unplug the unit before making any adjustments.
- Raise the Top Housing (#4) and lock it in the up position using the Lock Stop (#6).
- Remove the two screws holding the Grinding Wheel Cover (#11).
- Unscrew the Grinder Lock Cap (#9) and remove the old wheel.
- Install the new wheel on the Grinding Wheel Base (#7).
- Safety Check: Before using a new wheel, hang it by the central hole and tap it with a non-metal object. A metallic sound indicates it is in good condition; a dull sound indicates a crack.
- Replace the Grinder Lock Cap (#9) (hand tighten only) and the Grinding Wheel Cover (#11).
Operation
- Preparation: Clean the chain with a non-flammable solvent.
- Securing the Chain: Lift the Chain Stop (#23) and secure the chain in the sliding guides (#31). Lower the Chain Stop so it rests against the tooth to be sharpened.
- Setting the Angle: Loosen the Lock Wheel (#18) to rotate the housing to the required sharpening angle. Tighten the Lock Wheel once set.
- Adjusting Depth: Lower the Top Housing (#4) so the wheel skims the tooth. Tighten the Lock Stop (#6) to set the depth limit. Adjust the Lower Knob (#26) to control material removal.
- Sharpening: Plug in the unit, turn it on, and slowly lower the grinding wheel to sharpen the tooth. Do not dwell too long on one tooth.
- Repeat the process for each link.
Maintenance
- Keep the sharpener clean and free of dust and metal debris.
- Check the grinding wheel before every use for cracks or damage.
- Replace the grinding wheel when it wears down to a diameter of 3 inches.

Common problems
Grinding wheel vibrates
Turn off the machine immediately, check that the wheel is mounted securely, and inspect for damage.
Potential crack in grinding wheel
Hang the wheel by the central hole and tap with a non-metal object. A metallic sound is good; a dull sound indicates a crack.
Chain depth limiting gauges too high
File down each gauge with a flat file so they are at a lower level than the cutting teeth.
Before use
- Wear eye and ear protection
- Ensure work area is clean and well-lit
- Check grinding wheel for cracks
- Ensure grinding wheel cover is in place
- Verify switch is in OFF position before plugging in
