That really depends on what you are cutting. Performance will be different with green or dry timber, and the type of wood. Australia has some very hard timbers such as jarrah, karri and she oak. Chainsaw chains are designed to cut clean timber. Dirt, sand, rocks, nails and charcoal etc will dull a chain almost instantly. But even if you are cutting clean wood/timber, over time, the chain will eventually dull. It is not uncommon for a skilled chainsaw user to sharpen their chain in between re-fuels. If you have to push down on the saw to cut through your timber, then your chain is due to be sharpened.

That also depends on several factors including what you are cutting. Cutting with a dull chain will cause the chain and bar to overheat from the increased friction, causing the chain to stretch prematurely. Poor quality chain and bar lube (ie. sump oil) will also cause the chain to overheat and stretch prematurely. A new chain can be destroyed in a couple of cuts if rocks, sand, charcoal are hit with the cutters.

Please ensure that you check your chain size before ordering to make sure it fits correctly. Best practice is to measure the distance from the tip of the chainsaw bar to the point where the bar first emerges from the saw’s casing. A tape measure will provide that information. Round the measurement up to the nearest even number if the figure was uneven or fractional. The resulting number is the bar measurement. The most common bar measurements are 16, 18 and 20 inches. ALSO CHECK YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT BAR SIZE.
