Conditions which indicate the need for chain sharpening:

SReduction in size of wood chips. The size of the wood chip will decrease as the chain gets duller until it becomes more like a powder than a chip. Note that dead or

rotted wood will not produce a good chip.

SSaw cuts to one side or at an angle. S Saw has to be forced through the cut.
