OK, I'm embarrassed to say this out loud in front of god and everyone, but I need someone to teach me how to cut wood with my darn chain saws.
(I have been cutting wood for years, and plenty of it, but have always had fits with chainsaws. Whether I was using a junker homelite or a husky or a stihl, my chains are good for one or two tanks, then I cannot bring them back to life with the file. My Stihl is currently cutting curves, throwing sawdust - not chips, burning, and simply will not sharpen with my file. My husky did the same thing. and NO, I don't cut dirt with it... grrrr.... I have filed the bar, and THINK I know how to file a chain... arg.
Is there a web site that is clear and concise about HOW TO USE YOUR CHAINSAW?
I'm sick of putting on a good chain, getting one or two tanks worth of impressive cutting, then the chain is dull and I'd be happier with a bow saw. HELP
thanks,
Tim
