There could be a couple of reasons why a chainsaw may "pull," or, not cut straight:
- Cutters are sharped to uneven legnths or angles. If the angles (pitch) of, say, the left-side cutters are a different angle or size of the right-side cutters, the chain may want to pull itself over to one side resulting in an uneven cut. Likewise, longer right-side cutter plates would cause the cut to pull this way instead of staying straight (the pull will move in the direction of the bigger cut). Teeth can be filed or ground to be more even - a well-worn chain may simply need to be replaced.
- Bar rails are unevenly worn. If one of the bar rails is worn out more than the other, the chain would not sit flat, wanting to pull toward the worn side. To fix this grind your bar rails even or flip your bar over and use the other side.
- Bar rail groove itself is worn out. If there is a lot of side to side play while your chain sits on the bar good chance your groove is worn out. Grab the chain and try to move it side to side. There should not be a whole lot of play. If there is, take the bar into a saw shop and have the grind and hammer the bar. This will bring the groove back to the size it should be. Or, purchase a new guide bar.
