Please direct me to a thread that already discusses this problem, I apologize I could not find it!
I own a ten year old Husqvarna 350 model with an 18 inch chain. I have been working on a very large downed tree, and for most of the trunk I have had to cut it twice, once on each side to get all the way through. For the most part it has been going well. I just bought a new chain and only had to cut the remaining 8 logs. Again, two cuts at a time. The first one went well and then the trouble began. I have seen this in the past. The saw began "pulling" to the left and making a "curved" cut. It was almost as if the chain became dull and would only cut when applying a little side pressure on it. I believe the chain was at the correct tension.
What causes this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bill
