Accordingly, which way does the chain go on a chainsaw?A chainsaw always rotates its chain clockwise. No matter what the best chainsaw model is, it’s always the same. That’s why the sharp edges of the blade should face the clockwise direction. While watching from the top, you should notice the sharp edges facing in the opposite direction of the chainsaw body or motor.Beside above, how tight should the chain be on a chainsaw? A properly-tensioned chainsaw chain should still be just a little loose on the chainsaw guide bar, but the chain needs to be tight enough that you can’t pull the drive links out of the bar nose. Additionally, why does a chain come off a chainsaw? The main reason the chain jumped off in the first place is usually too loose chain tension. During use of the saw, it is normal to have to retighten the chain tension from time to time, failure of this will cause the chain to jump off.Why does my chainsaw chain dull so quickly?You may be putting to steep of an angle on the cutters, which will dull quickly. You’re rakers may be too far down, which will contribute to a quick dulling chain. You may be cutting dirty wood. You may be slightly touching the ground with the tip of the bar.
