      Awesome! I'm glad the video as helpful! I just wanted to let you know that I've created a new channel specifically for tree & chainsaw related stuff. It's called Tree Nerds. Have you seen it yet? Here's the link: th-cam.com/channels/0Jx_WX2hYP7goqu0aBntiQ.html

    I have had mine apart several times trying to fix this problem but I never realized about how the knob had to be moved all the way back to one side. Even a Husqvarna dealer didn't solve the issue. Was going to ditch the saw for a new one but now I'll give it another try. Thanks very much for posting this.

    I bought the same chainsaw but could not get it started...You just saved me a trip back to Lowe’s, which is about 25 miles from my house! Thank you so much, John!

    Thanks! I have this saw and my chain brake handle broke. Not very safe that way, so I ordered a new brake handle. Was fiddling with it today and couldn’t figure out how to get that panel off. So now I should be able to change the brake handle without much incident, and get it all back together correctly - hopefully anyway!

    Mr. Bowman thank you so much. Inherited this from my brother when he passed. Never used it until tomorrow, when I went to his farm and found a tree laying across the road. Now since, I am the new owner of a farm, maintenance is important. So, i have to cut up the tree and probably use it for firewood on the fourth. Was trying like heck to figure out how to use the darn thing. Now i know. Thnx again.

  • @robertboyd321
    @robertboyd321 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have the exact same saw (236e) & that Tool-less chain tensioner failed every time I used the saw. I ended up removing that tricky plastic round nut tensioner thing & just used a flat washer & a M8 Nylock nut. It works 1000 times better & the chain stays tight. Apparently Husqvarna make a normal cover for this saw with two nuts to tighten the chain because their tool-less version is a failure when cutting anything bigger than a sapling. I tried to order it in Australia but this place is a backwater & I can't get one. I have since found out that the later model (120e) side-cover fits the 236e and it has the normal two nuts to keep the bar tight.

    Install Tip!: Remove the pin (from the body of the saw) for the brake guard and put it in the cover so the stupid ring🤬 will expand and slip over the brake drum while pulling on the brake guard.

    To take the cover all the way off easily, your suppose pull back on the chain-break to realease clutch.

    I have the 240e model that has the same flip cap but I when I have it in the closed position, it doesn't lock down and while running, it opens (flips up) and becomes loose from the vibration. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or if I need to get a replacement flip cap. Thoughts? Thanks!

    • @johnbowmandiscus
      @johnbowmandiscus  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My guess is the flip cap is worn out.

      Yes it is. I do that so the bar wears evenly. 👍
