Chainsaw Not Cutting Straight or Fast? Troubleshooter

Dust instead of chips means a blunt chain.

Wear chainsaw PPE. Stop the engine before touching the chain. Work through one question at a time. You can go back or start over whenever you like.

Safety: this troubleshooter is general information. Switch off and isolate power before you work on pumps, energisers or machinery, follow the maker's manual, and call a licensed electrician or plumber where the job needs one.
