If she starts cuttin at an angle instead of straight across you need to sharpen the chain. It's not all that hard to do either.I cut into a good peice of maple that left the top half of the bar showing. Lock the chain stop an use a good file. only takes a bit. you'll get about 3 or 4 times before you need to do the rakers. They clean the chips out. at that point put on your 2nd chain an have ist one sharpened.I have a spare bar that i flip each time my chain gets taken to the shop to have the rakers doneand 3 chains. One thats for stumpin an gettin in the dirt when needed.Usually the oldest chain for this.If your saw has an end protector be carefull on big cuts plus get or make a few wedges so you can free the saw if she gets bound by the tree moving.
