chain jumping off frequently

Chain loose? If still jumping off, go over chain link by link and make sure it can sit all the way down in the groove on the bar. If it can't, straighten it where bent, file it so it will, buy a new chain.

I would notify Poulan of the situation just so that they could tighten up their quality control dept. What if next time, instead of backwards, they forget to tighten the blade & the chain comes flying off at full throttle?

Not typically, but the chain did lock up once when I shifted multiple gears while peddling hard up an off road hill, otherwise it has been pretty smooth shifting.

mine uses a fair amount of chain oil, it does drip a little bit after use I think that is normal. if it doesn't put a lot of oil on the chain the chain will wear out faster.

Well it takes a pretty good squeeze to release the master link but has never been a problem for me.Chain pins are always tight.Get a good breaker and make sure your exactly on the head of the pin and it will come out

Doesnt seem any easier to actually break up compared to most bikes. The easiest thing to disconnect would be the seat and maybe the front wheel. I almost had my seat stolen once. After that I made a point to run the chain through the seat when I locked it up.

Your question is a little vague but I will assume you are having the same problem I had. Namely, the chain flying off or jamming. Note it is VERY important to frequently oil the front cog (the one with the spikes on it at the tip of the blade). There are two holes at the front in order to do this. HOWEVER, there appears to be a manufacturing / design / manufacturing quality problem that Husqvarna are not owning up to with the bearings on the front cog. With the chain removed, the front cog SHOULD turn relatively smoothly. Mine did not despite regular (almost every log cut) oiling. I bought a new blade and had the problem with the chain seizing and/or just flying off. My local dealer had an old blade which I have used without the problem ever since. And you are using the correct bar and chain oil I assume... with the wrong viscosity you will have problems.

I was concerned about this as well. However the swing works just fine as long as the chain is square at the top to the seat. I left the bottom eye bolt out just.a bit from the bottom so that the chain does not touch the arm rest. Works well.

Make sure your chain isn't too tight (before you start it). If it won't turn, neither will the engine.

I am having the same trouble with mine,used it about four or five times and every once in awhile it does not go anywhere,I have to push and pull back and forth a couple times then it catches,a few times i had to move shifter back and forth also.

I ran into the same problem when I received my sharpener. The solution is simple and quick. First the lever that holds the chain in place has a little Phillips head screw to hold it in place. Unscrew the screw and take the lever out and move it to the left 1 or 2 notches replace the screw. Now it should tighten the bar enoughto prevent the chain from moving. Not a defect just didn't assemble correctly at the factory. Hope this helps.

Something with chain maybe the alignment or your clutch is not pulling in far enough

The gears suck. My husband adjusts them frequently but the chain falls off when shifting at least twice a month.

I haven't had a problem with the pull chain breaking. It has occasionally been sticky, but is currently working fine.

The chain is not aligned. You need to buy a chain alignment tool. Also make sure the chain isn't too tight - should be at least an inch of play on the chain

I would have to say no. my chain continually flips over and pinches me when I try to fix it.
