My 14" chainsaw is a Poulan 2055. The chain needs sharpening; thus I looked in the manual to get specs on the chain so I can buy the correctly sized files. Well, the manual gave no specs on the chain. Regarding sharpening instructions, the manual said that sharpening a chain is a complex process so the owner should get the chain sharpened by a professional. That was all it said.
So now I somehow need to figure out what is the correct file size. The chain on the 14" saw is 3/8" pitch like my Stihl but it was quickly obvious that my Stilh file was not the right size for the Poulan chain. I have several chains that came with the saw when I inherited it.
Obed, I am not saying I am right at all...but I have always had Poulan chain saws and love them...I have only had two in over 30 yrs. that is how good they have been for me...I never even obsessed about the proper file...I bought my files, round and flat at Walmart when I bought the saw ...I just use the file and it works...never had a problem...Obed ...do not get **** on the files...:confused3:
