It is very possible to sharpen a chainsaw by hand, but you want to be very careful because even a dull chainsaw can do a lot of damage! http://www.wikihow.com/Sharpen-a-Chainsaw
Cynthia. The ladders Justin are referring to are not Telescoping Ladders. A telescopic ladder is one that collapses into itself like a telescope or a collapsible tumbler or "cup". Generally stands about 2-3' tall when completely collapsed and you can feed out as much of it as you need provided what you need in height isn't more than the ladders total length. These ladders are GREAT and are typically used for inspections and cable installers. Some are rated for a fair amount of weight but I wouldn't trust it. We love using them and have been a great tool to have in the arsenal. I have attached a photograph of one of our telescopic ladders.
Mixture for oil is always best to be 2 %. Don't use additive for motorcycle. Use origin additive for chainsaw because of less smoke. Always (after finished work) use all gas from reservoir, because of protection of carburetor membranes (for long non-use period).
To change blades, a hex-wrench is required and you simply tighten or loosen the allen screw that holds the blade, but unfortunately the saw's design is a bit flawed. It takes a bit of "feeling around" to locate the proper position for the blade changing wrench because the fitting is not visible through the rubberized boot. You can certainly trim and prune trees with the saw, but make sure that the branch is at least 10% thinner than the length of the blade. I do not know your Manzanita tree, but if the wood is wet it should present no problem. Any power saw is extremely dangerous if used at an elevated height like on a ladder. If the ladder slips, there seems to be an almost unnaturaltendency to grab for the saw and very often the moving blade. Take the utmost care at all times with power tools. (I have a friend who point blank refuses to use a chain saw unless both his feet are firmly planted on the ground, and he is over 6 foot).
I would say the safe working height for a standard duty ladder rated for 250# would be about ten foot. If you want a new ladder of the same working height then get one sized at twevle foot. If you go up to sixteen foot your working height would go up to about 13ft.9 in. For a few dollars more you can get a heaver duty rating for a much more stable ladder. I personnally prefer aluminum over fiberglass for three reasons.They are less expensive,they are less likely to walk,and they weigh less.I hope this helps you some. Thanks.
If ever in doubt, always run them on a 25-1 fuel oil mix, this is good for any small two stroke engine, always use a good two stroke oil designed for use in chainsaws, not out board oil.
Un less your trimmer is a split sharft model ie you can take of the blade by undoing a handle then the answer is no you will have to buy a diff trimmer
