Thank alot . I was working so hard trying to get this chain tide, i thought i was doing something wrong, but it is cause the chain is too old, I got the answer i needed. " Buy a new chain" thank God for you. God bless your life.
a couple of things, there is a location at the base of the saw for the tool. it clicks in so no need to keep in your pocket. also, before you tighten the chain, you should adjust the chain with the screw driver part. you should be able to move the chain without effort but no gap. I always start with a clean chain and fresh gas, and a spare chain goes with me.
I have a 50cc Poulan with 20 inch Bar,everyone says they are junk but 2 years of use and a carb adjusting kit from Amazon and I beg to differ ... I use a Oregon Chisel Chain,stock Poulan Chain overheat too easily and loose their Temper and after that their just about impossible to keep sharp for very long.Also make sure plenty of Bar Oil to lubricate and carry heat away!
If I'm not mistaken the chain should be a little more loose. And you first hand tight the bolts then tighten the tensioner then tighten the bolts all the way....
I have PP5020AV the chain came off and I got everything lined back up. The tightening pip won't line up with the small hole no matter what I do. It is sitting above the hole 1/8 to a 1/4, when it's in operating position. I let the chain get slack in it, being lazy and it pop off. Been an aggravating ordeal since.
I have a poulan pro 20" pr5020 and bought a blade for a pr5020 and it feels like there's another inch of slack after its pulled all the way out. Bar cant go any further and i have too much chain still...🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
Just an observation…I always pull the spark plug off and make sure the switch is in the “off” position before I mess with any of my saws….only takes 30 secs and could save you time in the hospital.
I just did not get what brand are those, i am not native speaker. but my chain saw is poulan pro. I will search now to order one, and hope i can find it, cause i did not get what brand he said he bought. Thanks to the lord for you
Can someone help my 16 inch poulan keeps throwing the chain off can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction to why it's doing that
@@crywolf1224 I run a lot of saws, and one of the common things for a thrown chain is 1. Improper tension. Look this up on RUclips, on how to properly tension your chain. 2. Dull chain. 3. Bent bar.
@@springfield03sniper I have a feeling it is bent bar or maybe my tension was not enough because I was using a new chain and it threw it off. Before that the chain was lightly used I thought it was dull so that's when I swapped it and was thrown
@@crywolf1224 check your manual, or if you don’t have a manual, google a copy or watch RUclips. If you aren’t cutting anything, just running your saw, even a dull chain won’t be thrown. It’s only when you start trying to cut wood with a dull chain that it will be thrown. If you start it up, get it a few revs, and the chain doesn’t throw, probably is not a dull chain causing this. If it throws when you aren’t cutting anything, usually means bent bar, or tension issue.
Wow, I had a 14 "" Poulan given to me because it would not cut very well! So i bought a new chain and put it back the same way it was ! WRONG! From your video I found the chain was on Backwards to start with! Duh! thanks my friend
Depending on the saw size and manufacturer some saws have an inboard facing clutch (Husqvarna) while others have an outboard facing clutch. The latter are slightly easier to load a chain onto.

Great video. Perfectly paced, and informative. I was able to work right along, and by the time the video was over, my blade was changed. Thank you.
Thanks for the straightforward demonstration. Help to a novice like me.

I've found these Poulans to be about the best bang for your buck you can get. Thanks for the input.

awesome information. thank you
Glad it was helpful!

Can someone help my 16 inch poulan keeps throwing the chain off can someone give me some advice or point me in the right direction to why it's doing that
Is your chain sharp? Pull your bar and lay it on a flat surface, and see if it’s bent.
@@springfield03sniper I didn't think to check that. Will give that a try tomorrow morning.

why is my saw the only one with a clutch? I have a poulin pro 50cc.
ALL chainsaws have a clutch. That's what makes the chain move when the trigger is engaged.
Depending on the saw size and manufacturer some saws have an inboard facing clutch (Husqvarna) while others have an outboard facing clutch. The latter are slightly easier to load a chain onto.
Anyone have the part # for that tool... I need it to reset the brake. Thx
Put the cover back on then you will be able to reset your brake
My chain won’t move when I tighten my cover.
the nuts only need to be snug.
The new chain looks a bit too tight. Could have removed one link on the old chain.
Just get to it already
