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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***0 on March 25, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***D on April 7, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***S on May 2, 2026* ## Frequently Bought Together - KAKEI Stihl Chainsaw Chain 16 Inch 3/8" LP Pitch .043" Gauge 55 Drive Links- 61PMM3 55 Fits Stihl MS170, MS171, MS180c - 36100050055, R55 (3 Chains) - KAKEI Stihl Chainsaw Chain 20 Inch .325" Pitch .063" Gauge 81 Drive Links- 26RS 81 Fits Stihl (PRE 2023 .063" Gauge) MS291, MS271 Farm Boss, MS261-36390050081, V81 (3 Chains) - KAKEI Chainsaw Sharpening File Kit, Chainsaw Chain Sharpener - 8 Packs - 3 Round Files(5/32-Inch, 3/16-Inch, 7/32-Inch), Flat File, Depth Gauge Tool, Filing Guide, Wood Handle, Travel Pouch (Red) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/466990817-kakei-chainsaw-chain-16-inch-3-8-lp-pitch-043](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/466990817-kakei-chainsaw-chain-16-inch-3-8-lp-pitch-043) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
