Why is my chainsaw not cutting with a new chain?
The most common cause of a chainsaw that won’t cut properly is a dull cutting chain. Try sharpening or replacing the chain. If the chain is too tight, the chain may not rotate at the proper speed, causing the chain not to cut properly. To adjust the chain, tighten or loosen the adjustment screw.

How long should a chainsaw chain last?
The lifetime of a chainsaw chain has no fixed limit and depends on usage and maintenance. The chain should last many years; 5-6 years should be no problem. However, if the chainsaw chain is used properly and taken care of, it can last way longer.
Why does my chainsaw smoke when cutting?
This most commonly is a result of a dull chain and exerting to much pressure on the bar and chain trying to make the chain saw cut. This could also be either a lack of bar and chain oil ( tank empty, restricted oiler hole ) or an inferior type of oil that is being slung off the chain and not lubricating.
Are chainsaw chains reversible?
A chainsaw doesn’t cut right with a backwards chain. Plus, from a safety perspective: if the chain is backwards all the cutters are facing you! Chain direction is not rocket science, but it’s very important for running a chainsaw effectively (and safely).
