My chainsaw won't work.?

Question

I'm having issues with my chainsaw, and I can't seem to get any help.

About several months ago - I cut down my cherry tree.

Today, I wanted to cut down a pine tree that is half the width of the cherry tree - and once the chainsaw gets to the center of the trunk.. it doesn't cut further - as if it has no power.

There's plenty of gas - so that can't be the issue.

What else could it be?

Answer 1

The teeth might need to be sharpened.

Have you tried rolling the tree over to see if you can cut from the other side?

Answer 2

if you are just cutting straight thru without wedges it may be pinching the chain when you get to the halfway point...
