what you do so here's the tooth that we marked we want to methodically do this okay we're going to go ahead and we're going to lay our tool right on here with the arrow facing that way and you're going to make sure that this round part of this file goes into that tooth some teeth face this way and other teeth face that way so we'll have to turn the saw around because teeth face this way and teeth face that way should be an equal number of teeth facing each way you can see this rides right on top of that deck that we talked about earlier and we want the angle to be perfect okay so this matches the angle with the saw and you can see there are also little notches in here to keep you straight on your angle so all we're going to do we're going to give it three swipes one two three okay we're gonna check it we're actually gonna give it four on this one five there we go okay now we'll rotate to the next one just like so we can lock our chain break if we want to we want to give it a lot of pressure and we'll go ahead and cut [Applause] see how i take that all the way out whenever i remove this so that i'm not accidentally back dragging i don't want to back drag it'll ruin this tool okay move on to the next one i've messed up and sharpened my chainsaw the wrong way with a regular file like this and when you're doing a regular file like this you can get a great edge on it however if you mess up your angle of attack then your saw when it cuts down into the tree it will walk left or right so that's what this is all about i'm going to hammer down here get busy because i got work to do [Music] now we're back to our red dot and we'll turn the saw all the way around
