Stihl MSA200c battery charging issue after inactivity.

I broke a 3.2 mm file and now use it 2" shorter, makes it much less bendy! They definately require more patience than bigger ones but theres not too many cutters. I have one this morning i will chuck away as it is worn down enough to have lost a tooth🤦‍♂️

I would file most chains freehand but the 4mm files had to be in a guide to prevent snapping.

TBH, I’ve rarely been happy with my efforts, it’s hit and miss if I get it at least as good as out the box.

I tend to throw a new one on long before it’s due, exasperated with poor cutting.

Yup....if we get a saw in with a 1/4" chain, we just replace and return the old one back to the customer with the saw if they want to have a go manually themselves. Like i posted earlier a pro grinding machine isnt suited great for sharpening 1/4" chain,

and for us to manually sharpen one whilst the saw is in for a service isnt cost effective. I am referring to domestic users here...if it were a pro user we would ask them if they want a new chain fitted first.

Its my eyesight that is the limiting factor with 1/4" chain!
