Keep your saw clean every time it is used and file its teeth as soon as you find difficulty in cutting brushwood, hedges and branches. A blunt saw would produce more sawdust and then finely chopped wooden pieces. If a saw has chipped teeth, it won’t be able to cut smoothly. It might get stuck in the wood or need thrust.
Check the cutting edges of your saw every time before starting using the saw. Touch each tooth with hands to make sure that it has no blunt, chipped or bent tooth. It won’t take you much time in checking the teeth of the saw. In this way, you would be able to determine the usability of your saw. If the cutting chain is blunt then you should file it. You can grind a blunt chain with the help of a chainsaw sharpener that could be a round file or an electric tool.
If you are thinking that you would need buying a chainsaw sharpener tool then you are right. Buy an electric sharpening tool and have peace of mind for years. If you are a homeowner interested in gardening work then you don’t need a round file as you can grind your saw on your electric tool as and when required.
