How to put the Chain back on a Worx Electric Chainsaw 

Thank you sooo much. I’m an over 60 year old woman & this was so easy to follow your instructions!

I'm a 60 yr old women and I've always wanted my own chainsaw. This is the brand I bought. I watched this video to make sure I was putting the chain on correctly. He made it so easy! Love this video. Love this saw. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going out to find neighbors that need something cut down because I've run out of things in my own yard to cut lol

Chain saw was stored in shed for a year. In a moment of motivation, I decided to put it back together. Oil drained and all parts covered with goo were degreased to a slow death. Really enjoyed cleaning it back to showroom condition. Always let out a few GDS with chain saw on blade misadventures. Video said it can be done; and it did. No swearing. Got it functioning again and enjoyed a quiet victory. Helps to have a clearly stated plan for success. Thanks! Where was RU-vid 25 years ago? 🙂

Thanks so much for your tutorial. I had the exact chainsaw and the chain came off and for the love of me could not figure it out. Logged on to RU-vid and your video popped up…easy to follow. Now no tree is safe..insert evil laugh 😂

Thanks for the tutorial. It was exactly what I was looking for and with no pointless ads or useless information to pad the video. 👍🏾

one of the best how-to videos I have seen in a long time. Super clear and short! only 4 minutes, and it was very well-explained. THANKS!! Some videos are 20 minutes long. By the way, this is my 3rd chainsaw, and by far the best buy of the 3. One electric was a piece of junk, one gas that the chain kept coming off, and it was HARD to get back on. This Worx has amazing power for an electric. And it was not expensive at all. Super easy. If you're a lumberjack, you need more, but if you are a homeowner, it's perfect.

Coming from a 75 year old female who struggled for 30 min to put a new chain on my Worx, after watching this video it went on in less than 3 min....thank you, thank you, thank you!

My chain came off today on first day of use. This video came in very handy.

This video is EXTREMELY helpful and good. I have had many gas chainsaws and changed chains rather easily. This saw seems illogical and tricky to replace. Very touchy.

My chain fell off and I’m not familiar with this. Your video saved my butt. Thanks.

This saw is my favorite tool! It works so great, I don't got to worry about pull starting, and I can stop to take a break anytime I need it. It is a power horse to for being electric! Love it!

Thank you for this video! I have a WORX WG304.1 with 18” chain/bar. Seasoned chainsaw users would know this kind of thing. Us newer users need a little instruction that the manufacturer failed to include in the user’s manual. The critics of this video are most likely chronic complainers and fault-finders. Your video does a terrific job of explaining how to fix this problem.

Thanks so much for this. Just bought a reconditioned one without instructions.

Thank you for this! Saved me from going out and buying a new one as I couldnt figure out how to get the chain back on! Lifesaver!

I beg everyone always be careful with your chainsaw. Don't ever press down too hard, let the saw do the work. Don't ever put your head over the blade and press down, keep your head away from the blade, always keep your head off to the side, don't look directly over the top of the chainsaw while pressing down, it could pop straight up, instead keep your head a little off the center, if that blade pops up while cutting, it can get you in the head. I've known someone this happened to. Let the saw do the work. If it ain't cutting smoothly there's a reason. Research Research Research. Wear safety goggles or glasses. Rubber safety goggles cost very little. Thank you.

Thank you!! Used my small worx chainsaw to cut down ornamental grasses, and couldn't figure out how to reattach the chain properly after taking it apart to clean out the mess. All is now well with the world.

So many videos on here including some of my Worx W305E but none showing the chain assembly which I wanted to be sure of. I have 2 Ryobi's and have got it wrong a few times resulting in some scary moments and a serrated housing . This video was extremely helpful therefore so thanks so much for posting.

Thanks, this video really helped me and my worx did not come assembled and the instructions are useless. Nw let’s see if I can use it without losing a body part.

This guy's video can help a 3-year old install the chain. no hiccups. went right on. thanks a million. i highly recommend this video!

this saved my hypertough 10 inch that the chain was constantly popping off, thanks so much

Everyone already said what I was going to say!! I was excited to see a video on my exact chainsaw among all those others! Thank you so much! I was confused as to why the chain seemed to be too big for the blade. Now I see! Yay!!

Thank you kind sir. I was frustrated till I found this video 😅

Thank you so much for the video it helped my grandfather

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! People like you will go to heaven!!

!!! Thank you!!! Easy enough that 60’s year old woman can do it!!! I did.

Exactly what i needed to get up and running again. Thanks for the video!

Thank you! I just unboxed it and couldn't figure out how to remove the chain cover from the quick start or the manual. Now I know.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! New owner of a chainsaw and thought it was ruined. Fixed it in 3 minutes :)

Best chainsaw I found on market. I Finished job after my battery chainsaw from orange big store just died on the oak tree.

You are truly literate and created a perfect presentation for all of us. Real world scenario. Your efforts are much appreciated!

Great video tutorial, short sweet, and to the point! Thank you!

Thank you so much for the video! My husband was at work today so I had no help. Easy as pie!!

Forget the soap and water, just use a stiff bristle brush like a whisk broom or an old paintbrush. And brush the junk off after each use.

I have referred to your video many times! Thanks!!!

Really appreciate you taking the time to put this up. My WORX chainsaw is a little bit smaller than yours, but came apart and went back together pretty much like yours. Thanks much!

Excellent video that helped me so much. I have had several gas chainsaws before and changing the chain was no problem. This one seems unnecessarily tricky. I like this saw, but it leaks oil everywhere, and the chain comes off too much.

Very helpful video. Thank you for posting this. My chainsaw is up and running.

Thank you, God bless!

This is exactly the information I needed. Well explained, thanks.

Thanks so much. Easy instructions without the ‘fluff’👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you, this is exactly the information I needed to fix my chainsaw.

Thank you so much for putting this on here first time ever owning any type of chainsaw and the chain popped off second time using it and I had no idea how to put it back on same brand and chainsaw mines is a 14 inch small one lol

Thank you for doing this short video. Maybe I’ll spend less time monkeying around with the chain next time I need this tool. Good job 😁👍🏻.

Excellent video easy to understand-thank you for posting !! I’ll give it a try !! Ok 👍

Thank you. Men don't read directions. We watch a human manual/another grown man and that's how most of us learn.

Awesome! Fixed mine, thanks!

Timely and a great help. Thanks so much.

Thank you Andrew!

Thanks, very simple once I saw you do it!

Great, clear instruction. Thank you!

Thank you! This video really came in handy for me!

right to the point. Now back out to the yard. Thanks....I guess lol.

Thank, you for you're video.

Great video. Thanks.

Thanks helped a lot!!!

Thank you this really helped

THANKS MAN!!

Thank you for the tutorial.

With electric chainsaws should you be able to turn the chain by hand. It just seems too loose if I don't tighten it down. But then I can't rotate the chain by hand to sharpen. Wasn't sure if electric chainsaws were this type of tightener need to be tight so that the sprocket can turn it.

Thanks for this. Made it super easy.

thank you. you been helpful.😉💯

Thank You 😊

Thanks so much.

thanks for video it worked

Great video

Thanks 👍

THANK YOU

I had the chain coming off every 20 seconds. It is the 40 volt Cordless, but tensioner etc look the same. There are enough raves about these saws, electric and cordless, I figure either mine is defective, or I am doing something wrong. Anybody have any ideas?

How long does the chain last before having to replace it? I’ve cut four small trees with 2-3” limbs and branches and still going good. Just want to be prepared.

Really well

Thank you! Very helpful! Whew.....

You need to video a top view

I can get it on and tight, but it falls off every 5 minutes. How do you keep it tight during use?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Great helped👍🏻💯

Thanks sir.

Any idea why I can't tighten the chain properly? I have a Worx 14" and even bought a new chain thinking it might be due to the old chain, but apparently it is now. Seems pretty simple, just that one handle screw, but when I do it, it doesn't tighten it enough.

No no I’ve done all that 2 times and it still pops off as soon as I startit

Legends! Just saved my ass😂❤️

Hi, what kind of oil should I use?

When stored, will the chain and bar oiler drip onto the floor? Must you drain the Bar & Chain oil when stored? I have a new New Worx Electric Chainsaw still in the box for the last couple years, I haven't had a reason to use it yet. Thanks for your review.

Thx

my tension knob is complexly stuck, wont turn whatsoever. Any ideas how to loosen it up? Thanxz

Excellent! Was that a 14" saw?

I have one of these, but when I go to cut the wood, the chain stops. Any ideas why?

Hi do you know where can i get sprocket inner gear

Chain goes loose again and again...why?

@dose do you know what kind of oil it needs ??

When I attach the blade I cant move it manually? Is that right?

It's a copy of a Craftsman 172.740500

I have this and it's a POS, the chain comes off everytime I use it!

Great video. But what if its not a "she". ?? Mine is a boy. 🤣. Mine didn't come with oil. What type of oil do I need?

You kidding, outdoor sink???

Like

Tensioner on mine is busted... If just bottoms out on the threads but the chain never gets tight. Total POS.

I’ll be buying a Milwaukee one soon. This thing is a terribly designed piece of crap. A chain should never pop off as much as this does.

A little bit more focus on safety next time please. I.E. Make sure it's disconnected, wear gloves if necessary, safety goggles, plug it back in and test, etc.

You have no idea what you are doing. Did you not see how loose the chain was when you ran it? You are dangerous.

Thanks

Thank you!
