It's worth mentioning to make sure your saw is oiling properly/bar grooves and oil hole are clear. Lack of oil will cause a chain to stretch due to excess heat from friction.

Hi, I am 61 yrs. old and have been using chainsaws since I was 15yrs old, yet I never knew to look for 3 drivers to be free of the bar when you lift it. So, you just earned a new subscriber. I would like to also tell you that you are a very good teacher and I am a man that is not afraid to be taught by a younger woman. I don't have the problem of chains coming off but I have been running my chains too tight all these years. Thanks Luke.

Watched a guy who uses chainsaws everyday. He takes the cover off the chain drive clutch assembly an completely cleans all the craps out of the casing, cleans the bar and chain and lubes them. He then mixes fuel for next day and tops up his bar oil. On starting each day he checks chain is being oiled by revving engine and seeing some oil being thrown off. A professional at work!

I enjoyed your video, I'm 70 and have used chainsaws for 50 years...that being said, you have taught me today. My Grandpa told me something when I was eight years old.... when you stop learning, they are shoveling dirt on your face... thank you for today's lesson!

Hi Love from the UK. I am retired now and I worked on every make going. Mainly Stihl and Husqvarna. I was a gold standard Husqvarna Technician. I have encountered everything that you mention and every variation that anyone can think of. The majority caused by incorrect chain tension. Generally most owner users haven't got a clue about using one of the most potentially dangerous tools that anyone can use. Some get away with it and some don't. BUT.. please use ear plugs of defenders. when you get older you WILL have hearing problems. WHAT SHE SAY... AND don't keep blipping the throttle. Raise the throttle up to full chat and then lower it back to tick over. It allows the run in of the new parts. once again great video, it brings back thoughts of all the crazy things customers did.

Nice to see a young lady making mechanic videos I’m to old to make them not a software guy just infrastructure and fixing trucks and small engines! Thank you, I share them with my kids

I have been watching you for a very long time and learn so much from you. We have a 20 acre goat ranch and for the last 25 we have been using lots of power equipment mostly chainsaws. I work on all my own equipment, thought I knew a lot till I watched you. All of your videos are well done and I learn so much. Your camera angles are perfect so I can see exactly close up what you are doing. If you reccomend something, I always do it because of all the experience you have had.Thank you so much, all the best to you. Chris

TY - as a part-time backyard "weekend warrior" from Oz, I greatly appreciate your advice on mowers/ride-ons & chainsaws - please keep doin your thing!

Excellent tutelage Bre! I’ve been using chainsaws for decades and still learned a few things today😊

Also a good idea to check the sprocket or rim sprocket when replacing a chain. If the sprocket is too worn, it can tear up a new chain. A worn chain on a new sprocket can cause premature sprocket wear.

When you replace a chain or sharpening it’s a good rule to check the bar for ridges. Side dressing the bar greatly improves the cut. Also turn the bar over to even put the wear on the tip.

67 years old and did not know this information. Great video, thank you

That’s great info! I was taught many moons ago (over 45 years- I know I’m old) to just make new chains slightly tighter, cut for a few minutes and then check. Your way I like better because once you start cutting, you never wanted to stop.

Thank you for teaching me that I will never buy chain in 100' lengths. I also did not know I should lift my bar up while tightening the cover. Thank you.

Just love what you share here. Your last point about a spare chain, is dead right. In my box is a perfectly good used chain, plus a new spare spark plug, etc Now I'm retired, when I chain wood i stop 15 mins early and use my compressor and brushes to "blow it all clean", then lovingly sharpen it, ready for tomorrow. Looking after tools is half the fun of having them....

Great video. I’m in my 50’s female. Cutting trees and learning everything from my 80yr old dad. Your videos are so informative.

I learn something new every time I watch your videos. I love saving time, money, and frustration! ☺️

I've been running chainsaws since I was 13, 49 years, and no one ever told me about the way you tension a chain, glad I found your channel. No wonder I've worn out so many bars😁

I appreciate your channel. I'm so damn hardheaded that I rarely take time to listen to good advice. But when I do and the info really helps, I am grateful. So, thank you.
