Technical Tip
Most saw chain problems are caused by four things: incorrect saw
chain tension, incorrect filing, lack of lubrication and cutting any
material other than wood.
Here are some things you should look for, and the corrective
actions you should take:
Problem:
Cuts slow, cuts too aggressively, or won’t
hold an edge.
Look closely at your saw chain’s cutters, and compare them
to the illustrations following.

Too little top plate
filing angle
Remedy: Resharpen cutters while holding your file at the
correct top plate filing angle for your saw chain. Be sure your
file guide is stamped with your saw chain’s correct top plate
angle.
Too much top plate
cutting angle
Too much hook in side plate
Remedy: Either your file was too small or it was held too low.
Resharpen cutters with a file of the correct size, held in the
correct position. Use the correct file guide.
