Re: wild thing chain saw chain came off
The drive links are burred.
Use a file on the flats of the drive links to remove all burrs.
Then install and properly tension the chain
Chain Adjustment
- Make sure the chain brake is off (gloves will protest your fingers).
- If necessary, loosen the bar nuts that are clamping the clutch cover in place (or whatever holds the clutch cover and bar on). They do not need these really loose - finger tight will do.
- Ease the tension adjustment until the chain is obviously loose.
- Using one hand, hold the nose of the bar up.
- While holding the nose up, adjust the tensioner so that the center of the chain just touches the underside of the bar, add a touch more.
- Continue holding the nose of the bar up & tighten up the bar nuts / bolts / quick-release system. HTH
