Chainsaw chain keeps coming loose
After a few cuts the chain on an echo cs-306 model keeps coming loose.
/>l accidentally ran it into the ground a bit when l was cutting a small
stump with it and got some dirt on the chain, would this mess up the
chain? l cleaned it as much as possible, however after about 2 minutes of
cutting l have to tighten it again, or the chain will come off. Is this
normal? (l know echo does not make the best chainsaws)
Make sure you keep the chain well oiled. Also make sure when
you begin to saw that the saw is started before trying to cut with it.
With an electric chair saw you start it on the limb itself. They loosen
normally but after only a couple of minutes I don't know. If you have the
owners manual look up in the trouble shooting guide.

One more thing, make sure you have bar oil in it.
Keeping the chain sharp is the most important. Try not to cut too close to
the ground. It doesn't take much to dull it. When cutting laying timber,
try to always lift it off the ground before cutting.
Cheaper chainsaws have this problem. Your best bet is a Stihl
or Husquavarna.
They loosen often, esp if new, hot or if the chain gets into a
bind. Dirt will dull a blade, then it might get loose more often due to
heat. Keep tightening, but if it doesn't cut well, get a new chain.
