If someone says your rake is too high when cutting what do I do

Don't know what a rake is , unless there talking about the drag in front of the cutter , then just file it down some.
The more you file it the more it kicks back.
If the drag is to tall it will not cut good.

See
Chainsaw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chainsaw)


Built into each tooth is a depth gauge or "raker" which rides ahead of the tooth and limits the depth of cut, typically to around 0.025". Depth gauges are critical to safe chain operation. If left too high they will cause very slow cutting, if filed too low they will make the saw dangerous and hard to control.

Depth gauges are available for proper filing.

Been sharpening chains for 25 years never heard it called that , always was the drag , hmm learn something new everyday. :)
