Chainsaw not cutting

The chain bar might be bent or worn out. The chain should slide easily and freely around the chain bar. If it doesn't, you may need to replace the chain bar. The chain bar is lubricated by chain oil which is fed from a reservoir. Be certain to fill the reservoir with chain oil every time the tank is filled.
