## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to tighten chainsaw chain properly?**
A: 1. Disengage the chain brake 2. Loosen the bar nuts 3. Lift the tip of the guide bar 4. Tighten the tensioning screw until the chain sits snugly against the bottom rail of the bar without slack and still rotates freely 5. Re-tighten the bar nuts

**Q: How to reduce the risk of kickback?**
A: If you are not experienced with chainsaws, use a low kickback chain (ANSI standard). Also, never saw using the "kickback danger zone" on the guide bar (the top of the bar tip); use the underside of the bar instead.

**Q: What is ANSI?**
A: The safety standard "B175.1" set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which outlines requirements for gasoline-powered chainsaws (chains), including provisions designed to reduce the risk of kickback injuries when cutting wood.

**Q: How often should chainsaws be lubricated? Should I use a special lubricant for chainsaws?**
A: - Fill the reservoir with lubricant every refueling and ensure the lubricant is properly delivered to the chain during operation. Improper lubrication can cause excessive wear, reduce cutting efficiency and increase the risk of chainsaw damage - Yes

**Q: Full Chisel vs Semi-Chisel Chain – What's the difference?**
A: Full chisel: sharper and cuts faster, but tends to dull when it encounters dirt and is prone to kickback. Semi-chisel: cuts slower than full chisel, but stays sharp longer, suitable in dirty environments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kalei chains for 20” bar Echo CS590 Timberwolf.
*by S***S on May 2, 2026*

Get em! First time buyer of these Kakei chains. Used one chain to cut two white oaks that were 30” and 36” across at base. They were 80’ tall. I hogged em’ down into this wood aggressively while cutting, because they would. That chain threw big wood chips, ate the wood up great, maintained sharpness, distributed oil well, and I’m thoroughly impressed!! These are the best chains I’ve used to date by far. I had no idea!! I’ve used factory chains and popular OEM replacement, readily available chains from stores locally, but they’re not like these, This three pack is an awesome value. I used this chain on an amazingly great 10 year old Echo CS590 Timberwolf and it made the saw a beast! It made my work easy. I’m 52 yo, have been using a saw since I was 10 and have been cutting wood to heat my Dad’s home and mine for 42 years. Great price, great product, arrived in about 24 hours, and I’m five star satisfied (would give more than five stars if I could). Great Deal right here. If your saw is oiling correctly, you will be satisfied!!!! Trust someone that has experience with other brands of chains costing way more money and they have aggravated me over the years concerning their short life!! Get these.
