Sould I try to sharpen my chain saw blade? Is it easy to do? or just
take it to the guy that does this for a living.

If you think it's a blade, I am guessing you shouldn't try.

Make sure you don't hit nails, wire, etc imbedded in wood or rocks or
stone - and keep the bar and chain out of the dirt. If you are carefull the
chain should last for lots of cutting. From the way you talk I'm guessing
you aren't using it much - probably should last a couple years. I work the
hell out of mine and they last over a year.
