Sharpening a Chainsaw Chain this way…

how do you sharpen a chain using a file I make sure that the saw is next to the side of my body and I'm looking out at the bar whichever side the chainsaw you're on you need to sharpen the teeth on the opposite side and sharpen away from the sole I gently clamp the end of the bar in a vise I put the chain break on so we place the file inside the front of the teeth like that then using the angle on the gauge we get that level with the bar and it's always best to hold both sides pull in slightly this way as you push forward don't try to file backwards because the file wasn't designed for that it was only designed for forward cutting then you need to file to take off any slight rounded edges at the end that should be nice and pointy but you can see there it's rounded slightly and it's the same story on the opposite side if I'm standing on the left hand side of the Chainsaw then we need to sharpen the teeth on the opposite side
