I am a light chainsaw user - firewood, property clean-up etc. and just bought a new Dolmar PS5105 to take over full time duty for my vintage saws. I love it!
While cleaning my saw after cutting, I noticed that the chain catch looked like it got nicked by the chain and the side of the crankcase, near the front, had a little gouge in it too.
I am wondering how I managed to do this? Am I unknowingly twisting in the cut?
I usually check chain tension every time I fill up with fuel, keep the bar lubed, and the chain has never slipped of the sprocket during use.
I was switching between Stihl RS3 and Oregon Vanguard 72V chains.
