Hi Folks -
Somewhat naive chainsaw user here, so excuse my, er, naivite. I've had an electric Poulan 3516F saw for a few years, and it performs very well. In using it today, I just noticed that the bumper spike is sharply angled toward the guide bar/chain. Now, in this orientation of the spike, I'm not sure how well it will grab the wood. My question is, is it supposed to be this way, or is it supposed to be angled more straight out? I really can't remember what it used to look like. See attached picture.
To the extent that isn't supposed to be angled like this, how do I fix?
Any knowledge would be appreciated.
