Chainsaw Bar & Chain Maintenance

Keep your chainsaw in top cutting shape with this hands-on class focused on essential maintenance skills.

In this session, you’ll learn how to keep your saw cutting properly and safely. We’ll cover how to sharpen a chainsaw chain, care for and dress the bar, and understand the wear patterns that can affect performance and safety on both gas and electric chainsaws. This class covers the cutting end of the saw only.

Whether you’re new to chainsaws or just looking to improve your upkeep routine, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to maintain your tool effectively and safely. Feel free to bring your own chainsaw to work on (and files if you have them!).
