does the chain come off all the time?

The chain only comes off after repeated use. Directions call for tightening every so many cuts. That's good guidance, and will probably stop the problem!

I love this saw. I use it regularly and I have had the chain come off on two occasions. Both times it was because a piece of wood jammed the chain. Now I keep an eye on the inside of jaw, keep it cleared and have not had that problem since. I highly recommend this saw for certain applications. My husband still needs to use the regular chain saw for some jobs. However, I am very comfortable in using the Jaw Saw (I am a 64 year old woman). It is safe and easy to handle.

I use it quite a bit and usually on the ground. The chain came off once when I twisted the machine. Since then I have been very careful even though I was able to get the chain back on it was rather difficult and time consuming.

My husband who uses it says it hasn't come off on him. He says there is a way to tighten it. It tells you how to do it in the instructions. It's worked very well for him. Hope this helps. Good luck. Linda C.

It will if you don't stop frequently to clean any debris out of the cover, and I also keep the tool to tighten it in my pocket, so when I clean it out, I also test the tightness of the chain, and tighten it up after cutting a few trees down. Also make sure to keep the oiler filled, it does go through a lot of oil, but once I caught on to checking every fifteen minutes or so, I didn't have too much problem.

No. In fact, I hired a man to cut down some overgrown shrubs. His chain saw did not work. I gave him the WORX to use. He looked at me like I was insane. The WORX did the job!! Other than that, I have used it mostly for very small jobs. I really like it and feel safe using the chain saw.

I have had the chain come off once since I owned it. It was my fault cutting a limb too big for the saw which it got caught and knocked of track. Also, just remember after use check the tension with the easy to use tool provided. I should also mention the chain did not come off when I cleared a whole front yard with thick limbs and vines and a backyard with large shrubs and tree limbs.

have not experienced that problem, however I only have about 20 hours of run time so faw.

I've used it multiple times without issue. The chain has yet to come off. This was one of the best purchases I've made. Was able to prune a lot of trees this year that I have put off for some time.

Kris, after awhile of use it will loosen up, check it before use,tighten it up if needed. I love this tool , cut many of branches and brush and small tree's. Good luck with it.

I personally own this bike, and weigh over 300lbs. I did have a problem with it right after I bought it though. The first time riding it I was going up a small hill and the chain popped. I don't mean just came off the sprocket, I mean sheared in half. I simply brought it to a bike shop and had then put on a better quality chain. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I use it on the street, and even take it off road sometimes.

I found that you have check every so often that bits of wood/branches do not get into the back of the chain, if you stop every once in awhile to pull out the accumulation that makes a big difference. Also you have to adjust the chain if it is too loose that will make the chain slide off.

Well it takes a pretty good squeeze to release the master link but has never been a problem for me.Chain pins are always tight.Get a good breaker and make sure your exactly on the head of the pin and it will come out

I Haven't had any issues . Might need to adjust the back axel . Loosen the back tire so the chain gets tighter make sure the gap is the same on both sides so the chain travels true.

Yes, you do have to put the chain on, but it's not difficult. There's a little embossed graphic on the machine itself to show you chain direction. Which is crucial! lol. There's a review on here of somebody going on about how crappy this thing is, wouldn't cut dirt, etc...and I would bet money they put the chain on backwards! Like most Chinese stuff, the instructions are translated from to English by someone that English is not their first language...so the instructions are awkward, but you can figure it out. I love this thing! Probably my favorite tool ever!

Do you mean does it fall off easily? It only comes off if you take it off. Hope that answers your question.

Mine comes off. You might have to jiggle it at little, don't force it. It doesn't come off smoothly, but it does eventually release.

No, mine locks very tightly and takes two hands to pull apart. It's still pretty new though. Hopefully the mechanism won't wear over time. It seems well made enough that it won't though.

I'm not sure. I took mine out and sometimes don't use the basket because finer chains get caught in the basket holes.

Yes the wheel comes off. It also tends to be very squeaky so keey some WD40 handy ;-)

Yes. Just snap open a chain link and then close again using pliers. I actually used existing chain and wire.

It will close on a key chain(at the top where the screwdriver is there is a opening and closing loop) when its opened it will automatically come off the key chain. It is a really handy design it makes it really easy to use..It stays very secure...I love it

I haven't had a problem with the pull chain breaking. It has occasionally been sticky, but is currently working fine.

Yes, the bungee leash is attached to the swing arm (which is like 15" long) and both come off. This leaves just the "forks" and the horizontal bar which goes from the top of the forks to the seat mount, still on the bike

Hello. I also received the chain. It seems to work just fine. If the chain makes contact with another object that's conductive, it does tend to discharge to the object. However, I assume that would happen with the cable too unless the cable was coated.

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!
