Chainsaw

Chainsaw loses power while cutting. What to check?

There are several things we suggest you check when your Husqvarna chainsaw starts losing power while cutting:

Symptom
Solution
Dull chain and/or improper lubrication to the bar and chain
Sharpen and/or clean the bar’s oil holes
Air filter and fuel filter for restrictions and contamination
Clean or replace the air filter and fuel filter as needed
Restricted exhaust spark arrestor
Gently clean with a small handheld wire brush or replace

If you continue to have running concerns please have the unit evaluated by a local servicing dealer.
