I was cutting a large branch and when it started falling it pulled the chainsaw out of my hand. The only damage was the chain had slipped out of the track. This video helped me fix it! 👍👍
Very helpful, thanks. At first I tightened the chain too tight, and the saw didn't work properly. Then I tried again, not over-tightening this time, and it worked perfectly.
Thank you so much. This is the best DIY I've found & the exact problem I have as well. I have a RYOBI 14inch 38cc Chainsaw & my chain literally jumped off my saw after making a cut in a tree. Thank you 👍🏼
I know this has helped a few people, but this video has some errors. 1. Chain is on wrong back to Front 2. The saw has a screw to tighten the chain, so no need to pull on it. You do NOT tighten the 2 Nuts beyond finger tight otherwise you will break the screw. Undo the Nuts, use a screw driver to tighten the chain, once correct tightness has been achieved, tight the nuts tight... But not superman tight.
Saw arrived yesterday th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.
Thanks a lot man, exactly what I needed to see. The calm voice helps too, cuz I get really frustrated with Poulan. More time spent tinkering than cutting with a Poulan.
I was sawing at an awkward angle reaching up and the chain did get stuck in the wedge for at least 10 minutes until I could get a hand saw And cut the remaining branch. When I try putting the chain back on I undid the cover held The tension and then when I turned it back on it slipped off so I'm wondering if they do bend but it went right back on the teeth of the blade
The chain is on backwards. Angled tooth forwards, flat edge of tooth to back when looking down from above and along track from the motor housing to bar tip.
@@mareksumguy1887 Well, that may be...but, when my husband was alive, he wouldn’t let me use the chain saw, pole saw or tiller because he said the saws would kick back and the tiller would jerk my arms off. Well, since he’s been gone, I’ve hesitantly used all these things and wish I’d actually learned how to use them without having to learn by TH-cam! Sooo, some of us WANT to make, create, fix or use these things! Now, for your brother in law....sounds like a totally different thing! 🤪
Needs to be more tighter you need to undo the bolts that hold the Mountain cover on on and do the adjusting screw up until you feel resistance in the chain
Wow.. I'm not experienced chainsaw owner (I own one) but I noticed three wrong things. 1) The chain is backward 2) He doesn't use the thighten screw or stop screw 3) He doesn't use glows.. chain cut's you easily..
One of the best how to videos. Straight to the point. Thank you.

Man, you are a life saver. I was just racking my brain trying to figure this out. THANK YOU!

Thank you. Now I know what to do❤

It's not more tighter. It's just tighter. That's a double negative
Very common error for non native speakers 🙄🙄
Very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks, this just happened when i was cutting up a tree that was hit by lightning. Its been a while
Brilliant thanks. Now subscribed
Thanks so much for this video
Are you Aussie?
@free repair guide
I’m going to guess, maybe Vietnamese Aussie 😊
Good video bro…. U helped us!!!😅
Thank you! What a relief. :)
Good info, thanks
Excellent video thanks!!
Really clear, thank you
Thank u, it worked
I enjoyed the video, but wasn't the chain on backwards???
Thanks for the help:)
THANK YOU‼️‼️‼️
Boom! Thank you. Back to chopping! 🪓 🪚 😂
It makes me crazy that he doesn’t use the ratcheting function.
finally!!! someone said it 😂
Thank you so much !
Just saved me over $200 for a new chainsaw.
Great brotherman!
Don’t tighten the bar nuts before adjust the saw chain, will bend adjuster screw! Finger tighten is ok , this is bad way !
Thank you thank you so much
Thank you.
Great help.
thank you. much obliged
Thanks
ThX 🙏🏻
Mine keeps coming off
I put my chain back on backwards like this once 😆
thanks
only comment is I can't hear you, pls turn up the volume. Advice not good if folks cant hear you.
Your chain is on backwards. Hence why it comes off
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that...
Thank u! Hiiyyyaaaaaaa !
Speak up next time, we can’t hear you. Thx
Dude, you have your chain on backwards.
YOU TIGHTEN THE BLADE WITH THE TENSION SCREW...!!!!!!!
Charlie it’s not a blade... it’s a chain... asshole.
Wow.. I'm not experienced chainsaw owner (I own one) but I noticed three wrong things.
1) The chain is backward
2) He doesn't use the thighten screw or stop screw
3) He doesn't use glows.. chain cut's you easily..
The teeth on the chain is facing the wrong way
Your chain is on backwards. rakes should be on the leading edge. It rotates top to bottom. And your chain is dull as hell
Wonder how many more comments will reiterate the FIRST poster who said this‽
Advise no 1 dont buy a cheap piece of chineese siht and this wont happen
Your chain is on backwards. It won’t cut anything that way.
Your voice is so low, one can barely hear you.
Nothing has ever annoyed me more then ur voice holy crap
So so sorry
Who gives a shit what this guy thinks. Great video, very helpful.
@@FreeRepairGuide I think your voice is nice
Then make your own damn video about this.
That's nothing. You ought to hear yourself.
Thank you so much!
Thanks
