In thinks its called power sharp by Oregon.

You clip that gadget on the end of the bar, apply pressure against a stump and rev the throttle a few times. Needs special bars and chains.

The chain works the opposite way to regular chains, more like a chisel I think. Only available for smaller saws and a bit slower cutting I believe.

I have a portec one about forty quid .
A light zing is all that is needed and will make a good chain . Useful If the chain cuts to one side .
I tend to sharpen with tje electric one and then tune up with a hand file for half a dozen times then back to tje electric one .

agree, got it on my little husky 135, useful for working round old wire and stony ground, but not a patch on proper chains.

@exmoor dave what do you think of the little Husty?

for the money I think it's a good little saw, not so sure on the power sharp.

I use it as my spare saw but also as it's so light and a tank of petrol lasts ages I use it for cutting gorse and roddies down over the cliff's so I don't have to lug to much stuff down and back up again.

also carry it around in the landy if its stormy and there might be small trees on the road.

A little Jonsered saw here, which are first cousins of the Husky family (on the mothers side), nice light saws and plenty of poke with the little light chain. Give a bit of chain brake trouble, the plastic cover bends with the heat.
