Gene. I highly recomend that you get yourself a good Bench Filing Tool, or one that fits on your guide bar. You want to make shure you give every tooth the same amount of strokes, that way every tooth is the same, and straight. I have tried free hand, and when you push the file you round the cutter. I have used one of these for almost 30 years. I use a 7/32 file I give each tooth 5 to 7 strokes, until I start to get a wired edge, at a 30 degree angle. Periododicaly, you want to cut down your drages. To do this , turn your tool to a 90 degree, using just a flat file in the tool. set the file on the top edge of your cutter. Turn your up and down adgustment, up and down, and have the file just touch the cutter. Turn it back 2 increments, and set it down on the top of your drag, and file every drag. You will be good to go. As a Licenced Chainsaw Technician of 20 some years, I have seen too many bars ruined, and replaced, because of free hand sharpening. One side of the bar has been worn more that other. I have a chain saw here that is mine. My Great Uncle bought it 40 years ago, has cut alot of wood, with the original roler nosed bar that came with the saw. The roler nose was replaced on the bar. My Father bought it from him 34 years ago, and now I have it. I have another saw hear that My Great Uncle had, and he bought it in 1973 it too with a rolernosed bar, and I replaced the nose 5 years ago. The saw I got from my Great Uncle I used it to Custom Cut fire wood for alot of farmers who didn't own a chainsaw, or didn't have the time to do it for 10 years. I also cut wood to heat my home with now, with these saws. Hope this helps. If you need any more help, or advice. You can e-mail me any time. Answer to another question asked about a Sthil Chain saw. Yes you can turn the bar over on this saw. Ther is two holes on each side of the bar. One hole goes right through for adjustment. and one hole an each side for the oil to flow through to the chain. Most important. clean out the insedes of the rails ofr the oil to properly get into the chain, and bar. Also file the burrs of or the bar as well. This prolongs the life of your chain, as well as your bar. Turn bar over every time you sharpen your chain. When you shut off your saw, I always always pul the starter rope out about 6 to 8 inches, sso that there isn't too mush recoil on the starter rope when you shut off your saw. This prolomgs the life or your starter assembly. If you think that there is no recoil on your starter, try this ands you will find out. Yuo will be quit supprised. Bruce.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot.
