Just bought my chainsaw yesterday, ran for 2 hours and chain came off. (Which I understand is not unheard of) I have put it back on and it doesnt seem to cut now. It makes a bit of noise when I give it gas and stops when I put it to the tree. How do I know for sure if I gave put the chain on to tight/loose? Do I need to do anything else? (Needless to say I am probably a bit paranoid as this is the first time I have ever had a chain come off)

this seems to be a chain brake that's applied , try turning off chain brake by pulling back on hand guard till a click is felt

some folks moving up from an older saw to a more modern saw are not so familiar with chain brakes and don't understand them and how they work

clutch problem check for wear replace

Sounds very much like the chainbrake has come on, pull the hand guard fulley back to the top hanle until you hear the click of the brake loading.

I am not sure if you have figured out how to put the chain back on your saw or not, but it doesn't take long.
1. Remove the plastic yellow "T" shaped nut on the right side of the saw (towards the front of the motor housing)
2. Remove the black plastic housing that covers the rear section of the bar and chain
3. Place the chain back onto the bar making sure it is facing the correct direction.
4. Place the chain over the rear sprocket area
5. Turn the +/- yellow plastic knob (towards the back of the saw on the right side) in the - direction until the metal guide inside the plastic casing lines up with the hole in the chainsaw bar
6. Replace the black plastic housing and slightly tighten the yellow "T" shaped nut.
7. Now turn the +/- knob until the chain is tight. Once the chain is tight, turn the "T" nut until it is tight and you are ready to cut again.

chain will stretch with use...keep it adjusted...rest chainsaw with blade on block of wood (not running spark plug lead off) adjust chain by loosening side bolt/s then on inside at front adjust screw till chain is tight then retighting bolt/s lift chain and with gloves on check you can still turn chain by hand..

1) Chain brake is on. Pull the handle back towards the operator
2) Chain is too tight on bar
3) Debris caught inbetween bar and chain
4) Sprocket teeth are worn out

Is the Chain brake engaged? It's the plastic "guard " in front of your left hand.

when you put the chain on new did you adjust the tension on the chain.most new chains need to be ran a few minutes to heat them up a little.then you need to readjust chian so it doesn't sag out of the bottem of the bar,also when you adjust the chain you need to push the tip of the bar down so the bar is in the up possition.if you don't the bar will work it's way up and loosen the chain.

tye going to psep.biz and looking at a breakdown for this saw. make sure you have the exact model and type number and their breakdowns are excellent. Let me know if this doesnt work

Hi

Remove the fan housing.There you can see the coil.Follow those wires(2) towards the on/off switch.Replace that wire with a new one and start the engine.
