Why does my chain saw cut at an angle:
Here are some reasons why chain saws might cut at an angle:
1) If the chain is too tight, it can cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can loosen the chain by turning the adjustment screw on the side of the chainsaw.
2) If the guide bar is not parallel with the floor, it can also cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can adjust the guide bar by loosening the screws on either side.
3) If there is too much tension on the blade, it will also cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can adjust this by loosening or tightening the screws on the blade.
4) If the chain is not sharp, it will also cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can sharpen the chain by using a chain saw file or sharpening stone.
5) If the chain is not properly aligned, it can cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can adjust the chain alignment by loosening or tightening the screws on the side of the chainsaw.
6) If there is too much wear on the chain, it can also cause the chain to cut at an angle. You can replace the chain by loosening the screws on the side of the chainsaw.
7) Finally, the angle at which the chain saw cuts can also depend on the type of wood you are cutting. Hardwoods will cause the chain to cut at a sharper angle than softwoods.
Hopefully, these tips will help you adjust your chain saw so that it cuts straight and prevents any damage to the blade.
