Hi Andy, yes I know only too well you never get the chain back to the original sharpness with a file. I've add the electric chain sharpener to my Christmas list. Thanks for the demonstration, it will be a really useful addition to my tool kit. Take care Paul
Hi ,I do feel a bit silly not knowing these existed until recently, but I am not stubborn enough to keep on using the files if there is a way to get a chainsaw sharp. File sharpening is a good skill to have, but this little grinding wheel is so fast and easy. Take care and see you next year. Andy.
I've used those electric grinders. They really speed things up if you've rocked the chain or cut into a spike or nail. Have a few Stihls, mostly larger ones. Over here where they're made we call them 'steels' like the metal.
Hi, it was a game changer for me to discover they existed. I only need a small chainsaw, but my friend has the larger models also and they really outperform mine. I guess you got a lot more serious jobs to do than me regarding trees and wood. My accent is sometimes strong and my words and pronunciation are very rural at times.......I guess that's why some people call me a Hillbilly. You are definitely calling these chainsaws by their proper name. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.
@@hiddenvalleyfootpaths2561 Thanks, and hi, from big timber Rocky Mountains logging country. One Hillbilly to another: they are a game changer for sure, friend. Klyde.
Andy, please dont lean over the bar with you head and neck because if if it jumps it will hit you and that is not a good look. Stand to the side of the saw so if it does jump it will go over your shoulder. In other words if when working you are looking along the bar you are in the wrong position. To be fair it could have been the angle of the camera but if not consider what how you stand. Take it from mee you will be uable to work for a lot longer that with recent incident with your drill. As a qualified Tree Surgeon who has spent many years using chain saws I have witnessed all sorts of injuries and no matter how confident and proficient you feel you need to always ready for the unthinkable. As for sharpening it will be impossible to keep as sharp as out of the box as cutters become smaller with each fileing. Cheers😊
Hi, thanks for your advice. After your comment, I watched myself again and realised you were correct. I was too in-line with any potential kickback. After 55 year's of being safety conscious, I was gutted to pick up a serious injury just from a drill because I let my mind wander off. As you can see thank god I don't have to do tree surgery for a living. I use my chainsaw to clear out small saplings if asked before I am allowed to get my sticks and staves so nothing big or serious. Much appreciate your advice. Thanks for watching and commenting. Andy.
