Jay in NY covered most of it. I agree with everyone who states - sharpening dull chains and using a power grinder takes more off chain. I have a power chain sharpener but tend to file mine unless I really mess one up . You can buy a file guide to file your own chains right on the saw, be sure to use a good file of the proper size for your chain . The files do wear out after a few uses. I buy them by the dozen . As mentioned, try not to run the saw into the ground alot, and clean off mud and dirt if you are pulling wood on the ground, it will help alot to keep saw sharp. I carry an axe and knock off the bark where there is mud or frozen dirt in the area of the cut.
