Husqvarna chainsaw questions
7/32” and 5/32” round files. The 5/32” is for a pruner or pole saw. The 7/32” file is what you would use for a homeowners or professional saw.
Again, I like to find a bad cutter (if I’ve hit anything like rocks or a nail in a tree) and go from there. Always take the same amount off each cutter so that all of them are wore equally or you could j-cut. J-cutting is just what it sounds like. The cut will trail to one side and not cut straight due to one side of the cutters cutting more aggressively. If you favor your left or right side the chain will tell you in the cut. It’s good to be ambidextrous when hand sharpening a chain.
