Chainsaw

[Cyrus]

I've got an electric chainsaw, which has been working well. Today it's decided that once it's cut 2 inch into a bit of wood it doesn't grip or cut the wood. The upper rail isn't into the cut at this point. Any ideas as it used to cut through thick logs with no issue.

Do the teeth need sharpening?

They get blunt quickly with some logs..

Is it blunt ?

Does it not need a new chain

Is it blunt ?

Seem like the obvious answer doesn't it

 

[iansun]

Also the depth gauge might not be correct

 

[Space Hopper]

A chainsaw is similar to a vagina. Miss by a few inches and you are in deep shit.

Yup .

Does it not need a new chain

It cuts the first few inches fine

Check the tension, after a bit of use chains stretch slightly and will slip if not re-tensioned. grab the chain in the middle of the blade, you should be only be able to pull it away a few mill and it should snap back. I had the same thing with mine, tightened it up and was back in business.

Use it as a handsaw from that point....

Has it run out of lubricant? Do electric chain saws even have lubricant? Bet it needs a sharpen anyway.

It should still need oil

Machine mart do a great draper expert one. Almost as good as the proprietary brands at a lot less money. Chainsaw

Yeah the oil is to lubricate the chain, if it isn't using much the galleries are possibly blocked.
