Ultimately, your decision may come down to personal preference, but here’s more information about each type of sharpener. Electric Sharpeners Also, the markings on this device go about as a legitimate guide and make it to a great degree easy to utilize the sharpener. You should stop using your chain saw as soon as you suspect your chain is becoming dull. Continuing to use a blunt chain places undue wear and tear on all the parts of your chainsaw, not just the chain. There is a lot of evidence to support the view that dull or improperly maintained saw chains are the real source of most bar-related failures.

Most chains come in 3 standard sizes. Typically, chain size is relative to saw size. Larger more powerful saws use large chain and will be sharpened with large carbides while smaller saws use small chain and will be sharpened with small carbides. If you don’t know what chain your saw has look on the bar for the indicated chain size (pitch). Manual sharpeners will generally come as a set. A combination of tools is required to sharpen chainsaw teeth, these include: a round file, flat file, file guides and depth gauge.

On the top of the sharpener is a metal angle guide with three markings on it that helps you to get just the right kind of angle for your cutters.

There are two easy ways to tell if your chainsaw chain is blunt and needs to be replaced or sharpened. Firstly, your chain's teeth should bite cleanly into the wood you are cutting with minimal pressure - the chain should self-feed, with the teeth cutting to the depth gauge setting. If this is not what you are experiencing and you are having to forcibly push the chainsaw into the wood, your chain is almost certainly blunt. You will find this pretty durable for use with effortless adjustments with its variable motor grind angle.

Faithful have decided to fit a transparent plastic guard over the grinding disc to prevent injuries from any flying sparks and this too can be adjusted easily by turning the knobs on the sides. A top tip from experience: this tool comes in various sizes, so make sure you get the one that is right for your particular chainsaw to avoid disappointment, but do yourself a favour and get one and make your chainsaw sharpening duties a pleasure rather than a pain. Pros:Chain Not Cutting If the chain is sharp, but doesn’t feel like it is cutting then the depth gauges or rakers need to be lowered. This is the “shark fin” shape directly in front of each cutting tooth. It’s purpose is to limit how deep the cutting tooth dives into the wood. As the chain is sharpened not only the length, but also the height is shortened. Eventually these also need to be lowered. Using a flat file, about 2 stokes off the top of each depth gauge is all that is needed. Lowering the depth gauges too much will cause the cutting teeth to take too big of a bite and make the saw jam or worse jump. How Does it Work? The key to the tool is a solid platform that won’t bend, flex, or otherwise move during sharpening. This acts as a fixed guide to sharpen each cutting tooth accurately on the chain with little or no deviation. Even with these snags in mind, it’s still one of the best electric chainsaw sharpeners to buy on a budget.
