Does the chain still keep coming off? Maybe a better way of saying it are there chain issues?

We found this chain saw to be extremely frustrating because of the loose chain issues, returned it, and were refunded by Amazon. This lightweight chainsaw appeared to be a good idea, but needs a little bit more engineering.

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.

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

Chain loose? If still jumping off, go over chain link by link and make sure it can sit all the way down in the groove on the bar. If it can't, straighten it where bent, file it so it will, buy a new chain.

Well...assuming you can get it off, yes. Some KMC chains come with the wrong link, which will snap on, but does not come off. be sure this is the correct link for your specific chain, otherwise you're going to need a chain breaker and some extra pins! My last KMC master link failed on me and cost me about 15 bucks just to get the chain put back together properly...

Yes, the belt falls off all the time. Very frustrating. I'm going to try replacing the belt. Any solutions you have found?Steve

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

Mine comes off frequently (at the top). I've thought about securing it w Gorilla glue or grommets or something. A pain for sure.

the only issue I've had that is if you tie your bike chain around that area and peddle, you'll get tangled. I've had no issues with rubbing

Could be an install problem... No shaking with mine when pulling the chain for fan or light... Are you forcefully pulling? Are they all like this ? Who installed...

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!

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.

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.

Yes you have to take the chain off. I ended up taking it to a bike shop to have them put it ob

I have never experienced a failure with the supplied plastic chain. I don't see that there would be any problems assuming you took some care with the mechanism and not be overly aggressive while rolling up or down. Going on two years of fairly heavy usage and no issues!

I've had it for about a year and have had no problem with it falling off. It does stick out, but in my case, this was to replace a similar chime so I am quite satisfied with it.

We bought one for Christmas and it started doing that. We found that the chain is coming off - but we couldn't tell until we took the chain guard off. Apparently the tension spring doesn't hold strong enough when the terrain is rough. We put it back on a couple of times and have since wrapped a wire around the tension rod to hold it. It now works perfectly!
