Need to get chains sharpened

    I have two chainsaws. Oleo Mac 37cc and a Ryobi 40cc.. Both cheap yokes .. €150 - 200 price range.

    Both grand for what I do be doing. Start up first time after 6 Months sitting idle. Keep the Fuel rich (less two-stroke)... is the key.

    The Ryobi is a long handle multi head thing. You can plug in a brush cutter head or hedge trimmer head as well as a small chainsaw 14" head . ... best piece of kit I ever bought. Biggest problem of using a regular chainsaw is getting close enough to branches etc. to cut them. Not a problem with the long handle !!!

    Big problem I have now is that both chainsaw chains are blunt and damaged. Lads where would you go to get a chainsaw chain repaired and/or sharpened ?

    Search this forum for the term "sharpening" and you'll find a fair few threads on the subject.

    Going at a chain with the files if you don't know what you're at is really only like to end up with a scrap chain, so it's likely probably better for you to get them sharpened by a shop.
    Your local chainsaw dealer will do it for you.
