3 Signs Your Chainsaw Chains Need Sharpening
Here’s how we can help ensure your chainsaw chains is sharp enough for those tough tasks! Your chainsaw is a versatile piece of garden machinery, the perfect companion for everything from, bucking trees to pruning branches. Not just a great tool for your one-man-band gardener, but also a great piece of equipment for all garden lovers.
What can you do to keep you Chainsaw Chains in tip-top condition?
Effectiveness is key, keeping your chainsaw chains sharp will ensure longevity. Without sharpening, chainsaw chains can become blunt, making the chainsaw more of a challenge to use. This therefore, increases the risk of kickback and damages.
Although no guarantee is available regarding the risk, it will dramatically impact the performance of your machinery. Your saw will use more power for less results, causing greater wear and tear on other parts.
Take a look at our top tips for recognising when your chainsaw chain is dull:
- The chain does not pull itself into wood or branches with ease, or apply additional pressure to create this action.
- Your saw is producing smoke even when the chain is oiled and the tension is correct.
- When using the chainsaw, it produces an uneven cut. This could either indicate that the chain has dull cutting teeth on one side or alternatively have an uneven length.
If you do notice any of the above signs, you should book to get your chains sharpened as soon as possible. We normally recommend a service at least once a year, but this all depends on how regularly you use your chainsaw. Alternatively, we do also offer STHIL chainsaw chain replacements, which we can tailor to your required size.
