good info
I tried it a second time and was more careful and deliberate when sharpening. Made a world of difference. It takes longer to get the saw in the right position and stable than it does to sharpen. I use it on a MS 311 with 20” bar and it gets REALLY sharp. It seems after a tank of gas it needs touching up again. This is after cutting green pecan.
Just be sure to follow the most important part of the instructions:
Do not use sharpener on a running saw.
What kind of dummy would use a chain sharpener on a running saw? Probably the same kind of dummy who would drive a vehicle with a windshield sunshade in place. Or use a blowdryer in a bathtub.
Hence the ridiculous warning labels. Gotta look out for the lowest common denominators - the ones that were last in line when brains were handed out. Well, that and shady ambulance-chaser lawyers who sue because people like to get rich over being dumb.
