I am a relatively new chain saw owner who has Googled extensively and
read the owner's manual several times. I have a good degree of common
sense, and try to take care, but I am destined to make stupid mistakes
anyway.

After about 2 hours of use on the new saw going through cherry and ash,

Chain just stretched, a new one will get a little longer after hard use,
that's why there's an adjustment on the bar. I use a Dremel chain saw
sharpener, doesn't take any time to touch up a saw, but I use a good guide
and file for serious sharpening.
