If the chain is not rotating, check if the chain brake is engaged. Disengage the chain brake by pulling the front hand guard back towards the front handle. Also, ensure the chain tension is correctly adjusted and not too tight.

How can I adjust the chain tension on the Husqvarna 445e?

To adjust the chain tension, loosen the bar nuts slightly. Turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to tighten the chain, or counterclockwise to loosen it. Ensure the chain is snug against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand. Tighten the bar nuts once adjusted.

What type of fuel mixture should I use for the Husqvarna 445e?

Use a fuel mixture of 50:1, which is 2% oil. Mix 2.6 oz of Husqvarna two-stroke oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. Ensure the fuel is well mixed before use.

How often should I clean the air filter?

The air filter should be checked and cleaned after every 5 hours of operation. If operating in dusty conditions, clean it more frequently to ensure optimal performance.

What steps should I take if the chainsaw won't start?

If the chainsaw won't start, check the fuel level and ensure it's fresh. Verify the spark plug is not fouled or damaged. Confirm the air filter is clean, and the choke is used correctly when starting.

How do I maintain the chain brake system?

Regularly check the chain brake band for wear and replace if necessary. Ensure the chain brake engages and disengages smoothly. Clean any debris around the chain brake mechanism to ensure proper function.

What should I do if the chainsaw is overheating?

If the chainsaw is overheating, ensure the air intake and cooling fins are clean and not blocked. Verify the fuel mixture is correct and the spark plug is in good condition. Allow the saw to cool down if it becomes too hot.

How can I safely store the chainsaw when not in use?

How do I sharpen the chainsaw chain?

To sharpen the chain, use a round file and a file guide. Hold the file at a 25-30 degree angle to the chain. File each cutter evenly, using the same number of strokes for each. Ensure the depth gauges are filed to the correct height.
