Chainsaw has arrived, but chaps have not yet, argh. Oh well, can at least put it together tonight and start it up.
Still researching chain sharpening guides for the newbie homeowner who will probably not need to sharpen every week. We'll see.
You're a Noob. You're gonna need to file before you finish your first 10 Bucking cuts.
Plan on it.
No matter how many times Ct. Yank tells you, or we nag, you're gonna brain fart and put the bar into the ground, miscalculate and dig trenches, and then find every nail sold to the neighbors in those yard trees you're getting.
You don't have bar awareness down to bieng second nature, so you're gonna have to keep thinking about it actively, along with everything else that is going on, and shift focus constantly...you will find dirt. By the same token, you can find your thigh..wait untill ya have the chaps on to cut anything.
The Husky Roller guide is about the easiest and fastest, with the least amount of fuss, and removes all possibility of error except slight top angle error, so it's a no brainer in use. It's small enough to slip in the pocket, and sets the Rakers at progressive angles.
Best part is there's nothing to adjust or screw with, so a Noob can't get it wrong.
Stay safe!
