Keep the chain sharp, and keep it well lubricated. A dull chain heats up fast, a poorly lubricated chain heats up fast. Hot chain stretches, runs loose in the blade guides, which makes the chain wobble so it doesn't bite into the wood at the correct angle, which dulls the blade more quickly de

If you don't have one, get a file to sharpen that chain. Must be the right diameter and you need to know the angle (you can get cheap, easy guides that attach to the file). It only takes a few minutes to sharpen a chain and a sharpened chain will cut like new. I learned this the hard way after s
