How to Sharpen a Chainsaw | The Home Depot

Is your chainsaw cutting slowly? Is it burning or smoking as it cuts? Did you hit metal while cutting through a tree or tap the concrete while clearing debris? Do you hit the dirt with the chain as the saw is running? If the answer is yes, your chain needs maintenance. In this guide, learn how to sharpen the chain, using chainsaw files or electric chainsaw sharpeners, while the chain is still on the saw: https://thd.co/3GJSHqv

A sharp chain cuts quickly and in a relatively straight line. A well-sharpened chain will prolong the life of the chainsaw's engine, sprocket and guide bar by reducing wear.

A dull chainsaw is a dangerous chainsaw. Having to force the cuts puts strain on the machine and operator. It also increases the potential for injury as the ability to cut is reduced, causing the operator to use force to manipulate the machine. Be sure to refer to the owner’s manual for proper machine and cutting lubricants.

While reading the owner's manual and adhering to all safety procedures is always advised, it is particularly important to familiarize yourself with the proper handling and usage of your chainsaw. Follow and practice all safety guidelines.
