How To Sharpen A Chainsaw

Find How To Sharpen A Chainsaw

Is your dull and blunt chain saw blade burning and struggling to makes it's way through the wood? If it is, this is not a perfect way to cut. It's also a dangerous way to cut through logs and general sections of timber. 

Here's how to sharpen your chain saw blade, and use your saw to cut more quickly, and at the same time avoiding any chain saw accidents or incidents as you go about your work. 

The Best Way To Sharpen A Chainsaw

A blunt and worn chainsaw blade can cause the wood you are cutting to start burning as well as buckling and kicking-back whilst you are trying to saw through wood and logs. Using a blunt loop chain blade on your chainsaw (regardless of its brand whether you own a Bosch, Black and Decker, Husqvarna, Stihl, Ryobi, or any other make of chainsaw) is also a slow and possibly dangerous way to cut. 

Here are some hints and tips on how to use a chainsaw sharpener from to carry this task out in the best way:

1. Things you’ll need to carry this out: A pair of protective safety gloves and a filing kit made specifically for chainsaws, which are available to buy from outdoor power equipment stores, power tool retailers, and also online sellers. This should include at least one round file, a flat file, and a profile gauge. Most kits come in a storage wallet too for safe and protective storage. 
2. With your chain saw switched off (and unplugged if it is an electric powered one, or battery removed if it is one of the cordless models) engage the chain brake on your saw (this could be dome automatically depending on the make and model of tool that you own) and lightly clamp the bar of the tool in a vice. Make sure it is held securely whilst carrying out the sharpening process. 
3. Place the chainsaw sharpening kit profile guide plate between the rivets on the chain, with the arrows on the (profile) guide pointing toward the nose (front roller end) of the bar.
4. Follow the angle of the top plate of the cutter on each tooth of the blade; the rollers or support area on the profile guide will keep you from going too deep into the side plate of the cutter.
5. Using steady, even strokes with the supplied file, make 2 or 3 strokes until the face of the cutter is shiny silver and is free from debris, rust, or any pitting on the cutting surface.
6. After sharpening a couple of the teeth on the loop blade, release the chain brake and rotate the chain forward to expose more cutting teeth to sharpen. Then reset the brake on the saw. Repeat this process, carrying on sharpening every tooth that is on the blade. 
7. When you’re done sharpening the cutters / teeth on one side of the chain, flip the chainsaw around so you can sharpen the teeth on the other (opposite) side of the chain.
8. Use the depth gauge tool (which is usually part of the same profile tool) and file (using the flat file supplied in the chainsaw sharpening kit) to adjust the height of the depth gauges on the chain. It is important not to skip this step as if the depth gauges are too high, the cutters can’t reach the wood and it will cause burning of the timber.
9. After you have gone totally around the blade and sharpened each tooth, as well as checking the height of the depth gauge as well, ensure that each tooth is sharp and the metal on the cutting edge of each tooth looks clean and shiny. If any are not, repeat the process of drawing the round chainsaw file across it until you are happy with the result.   
10. Now it is time to clean and lubricate the blade on your chain saw. You can use a propriety cleaning spray or a good tip is to use a can of car brake cleaner spray. Some user also opt to use chain cleaning spray that is sold for use with cleaning bicycle and motorcycle chains. 
11. Lubricating your chain - we recommend you use a dedicated chain oil, initially you can brush this on with a small sized paint brush or artists brush. 
12. Afterwords - We recommend that you re-sharpen your chain every so often, checking over it every time you refill your chainsaw with fuel. This will help maximise it's cutting performance and ultimately it's life. 
13. Cutting near to the ground - Try to keep your chain out of the dirt and soil when cutting or it will dull quickly. If this happens you will soon see how fast you can wear a new chain loop blade out! Often in most cases you may need to then replace the chainsaw blade with a new one as opposed to being able to sharpen it. 

Sharpening A Chainsaw Isn't Too Hard

When looking at a chainsaw’s sharp looking teeth it can scare you into thinking you can’t easily sharpen the saw yourself. But in about 10 to 15 minutes of time, and with the help of a chainsaw sharpening kit (or a couple of inexpensive files and a chainsaw guide) you can transform your slow-cutting chainsaw into a log-cutting monster.

You can sharpen the chain right on the saw itself and right by the wood or logs that you’re cutting. Do it often, and you’ll get lots of sharp cutting life out of your chain. Here, we’ll show you how to use chain saw sharpeners.

Deciding When To Sharpen A Chainsaw Blade

Check the waste material from your saw cuts. If there is a lot of dust present, this means it’s time to sharpen. Wood chips indicate that the cutters / teeth are still sharp.

A sharp chain cuts well with and with very little force on the tools bar, while a dull (blunt) chain tends to ride in the cut without deepening it. If you’re forcing the chainsaw to persuade it to cut, the chain is blunt and needs sharpening. 

Also, when the chain creates dust instead of chips it’s the time to get hold of or buy a round file and sharpen the teeth on the loop blades. A dull chain is also unsafe, it greatly increases the chances of kickback which is a well known hazard with this type of power tool. 

Kickback is when the chain catches in the material and propels the bar up toward the operator. 

The Areas To File When Sharpening A Chainsaw Blade

There are 2 main areas that will need attention when you sharpen the blade on your chain saw. 

1 - The individual saw teeth on your chain loop. These cutting edges can be quickly sharpened and reshaped with a round file (as supplied in a suitable sharpening set). 2 - The depth-gauge (which looks like a shark's fin in front of each cutter) that controls how deep the cutting tooth bites into the wood. 

The angles that are ground on the teeth alternate between left and right to keep the saw cutting straight and true.

The teeth on a chainsaws loop blade have semicircular cutting edges in specific diameters. To sharpen these you would use a round chainsaw file of the same diameter. In front of each cutter tooth is a “depth gauge”. This is a piece of metal shaped just like a shark fin. The depth gauge’s tip is shorter in height than the tip of the cutter and controls how deep the tooth can bite into the wood. After repeated sharpenings, the teeth on the blade can become level with the depth gauges, and prevent the saw from cutting. 

It’s straight forward to lower the depth gauges to the right height with a flat file and dedicated profile file guide.

Sharpening is really easy if the cutters have just become blunt from normal use. If the teeth on the blade are nicked badly from accidental contact with rocks, dirt, sand, or objects embedded in trees, you may need to have the chain professionally sharpened or alternatively buy a new one.

Chainsaw Sharpening Tools

You will need several tools to carry the job out correctly. You will need a suitable round file with file guide to sharpen the teeth on the blade, a flat file, and a depth-gauge guide for lowering the depth gauges on the blade as well. All of these are usually supplied in a chainsaw sharpening kit set such as the one that can be viewed here.
