How to repair and maintain chainsaw

In order to extend the service life of the chainsaw and ensure that the chainsaw is in the best working condition, please follow the maintenance schedule recommended by the manufacturer.

You can follow the following general care and maintenance tips:

• Always check the oil level of the connecting rod and chain. It is best to do this before each use.

• Keep the chainsaw chain sharp. This not only makes the cutting more efficient, it also prevents backlash and improves the safety of the person using the chain saw.

• After each use, remove debris from the saw.

To keep the chainsaw sharp, use a file to sharpen the blade frequently. Organizing the chain is not difficult, and is an important part of maintaining the sawing machine. Attaching a chainsaw blade usually also makes the job easier.

Once the longest part of the cutting tooth wears to less than 4 mm, it is time to replace the chain saw chain. How is this done:

1. Remove the chain saw blade, and then place the new chain saw chain in place. Tractor Supply Company provides various replacement chains.

2. Adjust the tension on the chainsaw. The chain should not be too loose, as it may take off the rod during use. However, the chain should not be too tight because it will wear the chainsaw blade.

3. You should be able to pull the chainsaw chain upwards by about 1 cm from the track at the midpoint of the rod. You should easily rotate the chain around the chain with one hand.

Keeping the air filter clean is one of the most important things to extend the life of the saw and improve performance. This is the only line of defense to prevent the engine from sucking in sawdust and dust, because the sawdust and dust may clog the carburetor and cause the saw to start difficult and operate poorly. Contaminants can also damage the piston ring, causing the engine to lose its compressive force, thereby reducing power.
