Husqvarna 142e stopped cutting
Hi All,
what the heck? It was cutting fine until I tried to cut a friends' tree that might have started to harden like rock.
ANyways, I have sharpened it several times without luck.
Will only cut at the tip of the saw.
Any ideas?

well, would you believe I went to a Husqvarna dealer and he did not have a raker for my chain. Said he did not know where to get one for my Oregon non-kickback chain. So I gave up and bought a new chain.
I also re-ordered another muffler, 4th in 3 years of light use. They ordered the wrong one, even after putting in the seriel #!! He said they also did not carry a bar mounted guard so the saw doesn't hit the muffler of the 142e. Guess the chainsaw is too cheap to have one?

I think the dealer was pulling your leg so to speak, although they may have many names rakers control the bite of the chain, if not filed down when sharpening the chain they will eventually not let the cutting edge touch the wood and you will get fine sawdust, below is a link that has more info. Have a good one. Geo
