How to sharpen your chain by yourself

To get the sharpest cutting edge:- File from the inside edge of the cutter, toward the outside edge.

To file the individual cutters: Position yourself on one side of the saw bar and file the cutters on the opposite side of the chain. A round file sharpens in one direction only—on the stroke away from you.

To sharpen the cutting corner: Hold the file horizontally and follow the angle of the cutting corner as you lightly but firmly push the file. Then lift the file up to return to the starting position and push it again.

1."How to measure a chainsaw chain size and choose a right chain?"

A:"You will need to match four key parameters of the chainsaw chain.
Bar length: Determine guide bar length by measuring from the base of the guide bar to the tip of the bar.
Chain Gauge: Chain gauge is the thickness of each drive link. Find your gauge by measuring the section of the drive link inside the groove of the guide bar.
Chain Pitch: Pitch is the distance between drive links. Measure pitch by counting three links in a row and dividing by two.
Drive Links: Count each drive link to know the total number of drive links on your saw chain."

7."How to tension a Hipa chainsaw chain?"

A:"Preparation
Before the adjustment, you need to prepare some tools and put on gloves to protect yourself from the risk of injury.
A flat head screwdriver
A socket wrench
A STIHL chainsaw
Steps to Tension Adjustment
Firstly, you should find the two nuts and one tensioner on the side plate.

Loosen up guide bar nuts
Then, loosen the two nuts by using the socket wrench.

Tighten up the tensioner
After that, tighten up the tensioner a little loose. You can see an obvious sign that the under-sider of the chain would suck up to the guide bar while you tension the screw.

Continue to tighten up the tensioner until the saw chain fully gears with the groove of the guide bar and you can see all the tie-straps contacting with the guide bar slightly.

If you pull the saw chain along the upside of the guide bar to the guide bar nose several times, you will feel a little smoother.

A simple chain tension test would tell you if your chainsaw chain is on a proper tension: pull the chain on the upside of the guide bar up with one or two drive links out of the guide bar, and. Release the chain, if it bounces back to the guide bar, then it’s good.

Check regularly before cutting every time, and stop cutting if you feel the chain tension is too loose.

Tighten up guide bar nuts
At last, tighten up the guide bar nuts."
