Small chain saw when i purchased it cutted great since purchased it sharpened the chain on it. The chain gets loose on it after 15minutes of hard work after I adjust the chain it goes about another 15 minutes and needs further adjustment.
When I cut a small tree it looks and smeels like the ssaw is burning its way through it. Adjustment of chain does not help the cutting situation keeps burning and smoking

First off, you shouldn`t have to do any hard work with any saw. The chain must be CORRECTLY sharpened enough to self feed into the cut. First check that the oil hole in the bar is not plugged, then check that the bar groove is clear of debris. Dull or improperly sharpened chains make fine "bug dust", not nice big chips. Now with the bar off the saw, run it and verify that the oil pump is working properly. If everything checks so far, look at the "rakers" or depth guages. They should be .025 lower than the working corner of the cutter, they need to be lowered about every fourth time you lightly sharpen the chain. To remove the chain from suspicion, you might want to start with anew one or have yours profesionally sharpened including lowering the rakers. If you still have a problem after trying these steps, let me know. Russ

If chainsaw doesn't pull itself into the wood and you have to push saw into wood to get it to cut. And it throws out fine sawdust then chain is dull.A dull chain will burn up a chainsaw motor and could cause chain to slip off bar.Try replaceing the chain or have the chain shrapen by someone that has an electric chain sharpner.If chain still smells like its burning then be sure the chain is getting oiled from oil tank.Remeber that most saws when warmed up will need to have the chain tighted . But remember to loseing chain before putting saw away.
Hope this helps KS

a cheap chain. Replace it with a good one, and make sure the oiler is working. Check the bar for wear and burn marks, might need to replace it too.
