Just started trying taking the chain off and setting it in a vice to sharpen which I guess is better for the bar. I seem to get a really good edge this way, only practical in the workshop though. Having a file guide usually causes problems with depth, maybe its just me? Using a scraper tool with gauge/angles etc is really useful too. A safe saw is a sharp one I reckon.

if you look at your cutter there is an end of life mark i use this as a guide to the angle of sharpening as i don't use a guide yep i know its a bad habit but its stuck but i can tell if im out on the angles

 

practice makes perfect lots and lots of it

 

get yourself comfortable

 

gloves always wear them when filing or be prepared for bloody knuckles.

 

don't let somebody on your team who regularly grounds out your saw use it

 

be prepared to spend time on your saw sharpening it will save you time later in the day and ease stress of constant cutting almost makes it fun
