Thanks for your detailed video. I'm about to head to the garage to attempt the brake reset after prying the cover off my chainsaw and getting totally frustrated trying to get it back on. I was about to give up trying to fix it. Instead I composed myself, stopped for lunch, tuned into KZread and learned from you what to do. I greatly appreciate your expertise and, your sense of humor.

Well you must live close to me as two of my saws have that same white and blue sticker🙂 Good videos!

Saved me on the chain not turning. Right on the money. Chain drives were damaged, a little touch-up with a dremel, and good to go. THANKS!

ONE DOLLAR! Hee ! Hey! great vid. Second one we've seen of yours and we sure do appreciate your experience in these matters of fixing mostly the screwups of the mechanically-UN-inclinded. Above all else, we love your dry sense of humor (odds are pretty good that... if they ran it to the point of the chain falling off, they're gonna do somethin' else...) and you certainly did save them the price of a chain. You're a good man, on top of everything else.

I picked up a 440 on fb marketplace for $10, it was only 7 years old! Thankful I knew enough to not go ham on the clutch cover when it was stuck on the machine. Was able to reset the chain stop and cover came off no problem. The bar is bent though, worth repairing? About 5-7mm out of spec.

@TheGreasyShopRag

If the rest of the bar is within spec then yes just bend it back

"Well there's allot of life left in this chain and there's no need for that!!!!" Excellent statement!!!!! later

If my chainsaw came with 18inch bar and chain 0.058 gauge. Can I pute a shorter blade with smaller gauge lets say 0.050, or I need to keep same gauge but only shorter blade?

@TheGreasyShopRag

6 ай бұрын

You want to match the chain gauge to the bar. The sprocket or rim drive will handle both .050 and .058 chain.

Most of the saws I see on here are relatively clean, ever get any so bad you have to clean them before you can even work on them?

Unless its a trade in that we are gonna resell or a specific request I don't clean any more than a high pressure air hose will remove. Yes sometimes they have to be blown off but not too often.

I’ve 14” electric saw. Lately the chain comes off regularly? Any suggestion? In naked I I don’t see any issue with the chain or bar. With no load it runs perfectly and chain doesn’t come off the bar. I appreciate any help. Keep in mind that I’m an ordinary guy who have some cutting job in my front and backyard.

@TheGreasyShopRag

Жыл бұрын

The first thing I would look at is if the saw is oiling the chain. Is the chain dry or oily? Once the chain comes off there is a chance that some of the drivers of the chain were damaged. These are the parts that rest in the bar groove. If you have damaged drivers that don't sit in the groove then you really can't properly adjust the chain.

Thank you so much for your reply. While watching your video I though to readjust the tension of the chain. Before I used to do it by hand but then by following instruction on the machine I did it from the teeth given on the side of the chain. Before chain used to hang little bit and chain used to come off bc of that. After I tighten it to the level where chain almost stays inside the bar. Chain is not too hard and can be moved with hand. So I’m glad it’s working. I already tested it on a tree. Thank you again for great video.

No name & shame & a dollar in the honesty box!😂

So way back in the day I had got a chain given to me because I was young and broke and it had the issue it got run lose or whatever. I had 61 husky at the time and mostly cut firewood to sell to get by. So I had a old worn out bar and I thought if I start with chain lose I could maybe just wear the chain back in slowly tightening it up as I went! By God it worked great and put the chain on my good bar and cut wood till teeth were gone!
