This is the angle that you cut each tooth. if you have a chain sharpener you will see numbers on it with a line directly below it. A good standard is 25 degrees, if you want it for ripping purposes you can modify the angle.
You really want to match the angle that the blade or chain as been set for.

If your saw still has the original bar and chain, it was supplied with a .325" pitch chain and you'll need a 3/8" round file with a sharpening guide to properly sharpen it.
Here's a link to the Husqvarna site to the Rancher 455 models so you can select the correct manual to download, that matches your particular saw, based on the year of manufacture, etc.
There is some excellent information about maintaining your saw, along with a really good guide with step-by-step instructions for proper sharpening.

Hope you find this Very Helpful - Best regards!
SOURCE: replacing Remington Electric chain saw blade
Where the bar meets the body of the saw there is an adjustment lug that will either push the bar outward tightening the chain or may be retracted allowing slack in the chain. When backed off (loosened) sufficiently, the chain may be removed for replacement. In order to use this feature, however, there are two bolts that secure the bar to the body that must be loosened prior to any adjustment and tightened bach up after making adjustments to the chain. The above will be enough to remove and replae the chain. If you are taking off the bar (that the chain runs on), you will need to remove the two bolts that were just loosened for the chain adjustment (above).

SOURCE: 20" poulan chain saw cuts at angle
Buy an oregon green chain for the saw,much better chain, more teeth,heavier duty,outcut the original chains by far,and can be sharpened many times over.Keep the chain sharp and she should cut straight.Dont over tighten the chain, I tighten mine til I can just lift the bottom of the chain almost completely out of the bar groove.

I think you are saying the centrifugal clutch does not engage. It should not at idle. Did you rev it up a little and it still not engage? There is a clutch face on sprung weights that should expand and turn the clutch drum above idle. Please see the “Handle, Chassis & Bar Assembly” detail for clutch illustrations.
A 2375 has an outboard clutch (the chain is between the engine and clutch drum).

Use this as a guide to remove the clutch and inspect the parts:

A 4018 has an inboard clutch (only the drive sprocket extends into the clutch cover). Do this first then use the outboard procedure to remove the remaining clutch pieces.
