## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Money well spent
*by J***I on August 24, 2026*

Free some research, I came across these chains for my 18 inch chainsaw. I will saw they fit perfect! After getting it on, I went to attack the oak tree has been down for over a week. And much to my surprise, these chains cut through that hard wood like a hot knife through butter! I will extremely pleased. After nearly four ours of working on the tree, the the chain was cutting as great as I started. Highly recommend! Well worth the money. Will be returning to get get a chain for my smaller saw
