Sounds like premature ejaculation and anticipation of
trolling........Your the one thats uptight making quick assed
assumptions........you would think with yur so called age you would be
more chilled out and easy going and not so quick to jump to
conclusions.


As to your chain and bar, I doubt you did anyhting to it that will
cause you problems. More use and experieince and you will get the hang
of it. A saw should cut without having to apply pressure if the chain
is sharp, so keep an eye on the chips, wehich should be nice flakes of
wood, and when you start getting raggy, edged and dust more than chip
look and it starts slowing down you know its time to touch up the
chain. As carefull as one can be non one can see what has been grown
into trees etc over their lifetime, and this is a common thing.

Run a file along the sides of your bar to knock off any wire edge that
it may have. As to paint on the bar, most of my saws have little to no
paint left on the bars, as its gonna wear off with use. Its highly
unlikely ou burned off the paint on the bars sides to amount to
much, along the gujide slot perhaps , but you just did not generate
sufficient heat to burn it off the sides.

Lots of luck and be safe.
