Quick Guide to Chainsaws.
How often should the chain be sharpened?
A saw chain sharpness is impaired after time even if you have been avoiding cutting
objects that reduce its sharpness (rock, soil, etc.). The chain becomes blunt. If the
chain has sawn through stone it is useless and must be sharpened immediately.
If you use the chainsaw for much of the day, it is appropriate to sharpen the chain
with a file each time you refuel. It is easier to sharpen a little but often than waiting
a long time to file. You also get better precision and work more efficiently.
Choosing the right bar & chain.
Always use the type of guide bar and chain recommended by the manufacturer.
When replacing chain match it with correct specifications: chain pitch, gauge, and
number of chain drive links.
