Why does the chain keep sliding off.

Need to check tension,see Instructions. Chain needs to be on sprocket all the way also.Another thing to check, make sure the chain teeth are going the right way.it could be on backwards

I bwlieve it is due to not having tightened it enough, tho I also believe there is a flaw in design which could help with this. It is VERY frustrating and after the 10th slip and catch, I am ready to send it back.....but when it is going well....what a beauty and so much safer than an elec chain saw or gas one.....

The Chain keeps Falling Off . You get your Titel from Your secretary of state and the state you live in. Here In Mi you buy 2 ORV stickers to register them.

It has an automatic oiler that keeps the chain lubricated and it is adjustable, you can adjust theamount of oil that lubricates the chain.

Besides the already mentioned advice the only time I've had the chain slip off was when I twisted it while cutting. Sometimes the angles can get a little awkward or you get a little rushed and you just need to be patient and keep the saw perpendicular to the cut until it's complete. It's only slipped off very few times for me and each time I knew it was my fault and not the saw's. Fortunately it only takes about 5 minutes to reset the chain even if it does slip loose.

I have the same issue. I keep the chain oiled well and try to keep the jaws perpendicular to wood being cut, but the darn chain comes off all the time. I hate that.

It is one of the few items I returned because of the continuous issues with the chain. I bought a maketa (not sure of spelling) and never a chain issue.

There is a little stopper thing they give you to put on the back, so the shelfbcannot slide out of place. It's kind of "hooked" on, so with the stopper, no way it will slide back and come off.

No. The only problem we have experienced is the chain popping off when going over a hard bump. We think due to the tensioner which can be adjusted.

The gears suck. My husband adjusts them frequently but the chain falls off when shifting at least twice a month.

Are you using both brakes? or the brakes may need tightening. Using both brakes should keep the walker from moving

The blades are small, sharp bits of steel attached at intervals along the chain. They do not come off. The chain is pulled along the bar by the motor. It is dangerous to operate the chainsaw if the chain is not properly tightened. And it is normal for it to become loose if you are using it for fifteen minutes or more. If the chain gets loose during a cutting project, tighten it with the combo flat head screwdriver/hex wrench that came with the owner's manual, or find the right size crescent wrench and any flat head screwdriver. The two-part adjustment is on the bar. One nut adjusts tension, the other deals with slack, like a cassette player. Turn one, then the other, until your chain is snug against your bar. Then tighten both adjustments with the wrench. And remember that the links of the chain have ball bearings that need to be oiled frequently by pressing the bar oil button while the motor pulls the chain about, but not while sawing logs. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas.

No, you've got the jig positioned wrong or the chain would move freely. You tighten the top screws just enough to let the chain move freely. My guess is you have the jig positioned wrong so that a cutter is hanging up on it-easy to do. Move the jig up a little on your bar and see if that doesn't free up the chain.

I would contact the company. Hopefully they will replace the chain at no cost to you.

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.

I would notify Poulan of the situation just so that they could tighten up their quality control dept. What if next time, instead of backwards, they forget to tighten the blade & the chain comes flying off at full throttle?

Your question is a little vague but I will assume you are having the same problem I had. Namely, the chain flying off or jamming. Note it is VERY important to frequently oil the front cog (the one with the spikes on it at the tip of the blade). There are two holes at the front in order to do this. HOWEVER, there appears to be a manufacturing / design / manufacturing quality problem that Husqvarna are not owning up to with the bearings on the front cog. With the chain removed, the front cog SHOULD turn relatively smoothly. Mine did not despite regular (almost every log cut) oiling. I bought a new blade and had the problem with the chain seizing and/or just flying off. My local dealer had an old blade which I have used without the problem ever since. And you are using the correct bar and chain oil I assume... with the wrong viscosity you will have problems.
