When I am ripping log sections it seems like my sprocket always gets clogged up with chips, or curls as the case may be. The chain tension seems to be correct. So is it something to do with technique? I usually rock front to back (of the bar) so I am not cutting the full bar length too often. I am thinking I need to adjust the oiler to get a little more because it doesn't seem like there is a lot of residue on the chain and bar. There is oil there, just not a lot. I have an MS290 if it makes a difference.
How often should I back out of a cut and allow shavings to clear the saw and kerf?
