Bar dressing..?

 

It was a new chain when I started but to be fair it was an old knuckley piece of 3 ft Oak which had just had ivy ripped off and seemed somehow to have bits of something in it that caused sparks a couple of times. probably had some barbed wire attached when it was young.  Will sharpen and go again at rest of it tomoz.  Not used to having to sharpen bigger saws too often lol

When you see sparks, it's usually buried stones or metal. Give the wood a brush off around the intended cut or at least give it a scrape with a scrap piece of wood/felling wedge. All you need is accumulated gritty soil or a nail/wire or stone and you've got sparks and a blunt chain. If you know you'll be cutting a lot of grubby stuff, try semi instead of full chisel. But as has been said before, a blunt chain is a blunt chain.
