I learned how to file with a Oregon file guide when I was a beginner 8 hour a day faller. Then quickly after about a year went freehand for good.
But using a saw 8 hours a day 10-11 months of the year, it's easy to catch on free filing. My advice for the casual user is just keep using the guide.
Some of the best advice right here from Stig.
Yes a beginner or even someone who has cut for years and doesn't know what a properly sharpened sawchain should cut like should try a pro filed chainsaw.
I can't post videos or I'd bore with the long details of long post....... but my best advice...
