STIHL GTA 26 Chain Replacement Video

This song is a banger! Excellent video, also!

My friend, those wood chips were put there for a video. No way that saw was that clean! One minute of actual use would have put enough "gunk" on the saw to render is looking "used". I have one of these and keeping that chain tight is super frustrating!

Brilliant. My chain jumped out of the sprockets, and I didn't know how to fix it. I also didn't know that when you take off the guard, you can just pop the chain out and re-connect it. I do now! 0:24 seconds into the video - and I had the job fixed and my awesome little log cutter working fine again! 🪚😃

If you replace it with a genuine Stihl chain, you can expect well over 500 2" cuts through unseasoned wood. No chain adjustment required. But do keep it oiled and clean after use. Supplied with a totally inadequate amount of chain oil. You will need to buy more!

Brilliant thank you. Love my little chainsaw.

Can you please do video of how to replace a
new break handle on electric MSA 200c

[jaimealvarez]

Not a very good design, there's no chain adjustment, after 20 cuts you might as well throw the chain away.

My chain keeps coming out. I tried to fix it but it's not working.

[jeffreyhurst]

No adjustment?? My opinion on Stihl has just dropped a great deal. I guess I’ll have to order some replacement chains.

[kdegraa]

Does Stihl recommend a particular file to sharpen the GTA 26 chain?

[fizzyfrogfrappe]

How frequently should you oil the chain. Neither the instruction manual or this video cover this important point!

[uhaxthegrey]

Used 1 time and the chain came off the track half way, its now stuck and i cant remove the guide bar.

[mikamastro]

I have just used it with olive trees in was very dissapointed to realize that the chain goes off as you work quite often and the saw stops!!! You have to take the battery off, put the teeth of the chain back at their place and then again battery on and start again!!!it happened 3 times untill the battery was down.I have tried to turn the chain 2 rounds as per the instructions, but it kept doing it....also, all the time leaves and small branches get in the chain....as you finally, if you force it to a big piece of tree, it stops!for the money i bought it, although it is light and easy for women, it is not worth it...

How do you tighten the tension of the chain if it’s loose?

How to tighten chain on Stihl GTA26 chainsaw

Cleaning must also be done on the engine.
It has to be blown with a motorized compressor, otherwise you will suffer what I suffered.
The engine got dirty and the engine stalled and did not work until the engine was cleaned.

[patdaigle]

Can't get guide bar off
Chain is off track

[jaimimcentire]

Dissapointing for such a good brand. No way to adjust chain. Cut a few times, and it jams. Waste of money.

[elibarreto]

Uma porcaria, não gastem vossos dinheiro com essa máquina. Tudo que vi como podam galhos só quando está no primeiro uso. Depois corrente fica deixa, uma loucura para tensionar. Já no segundo uso

[billalbion]

Is he a office worker, gloves, afraid of a wee bit dirt or oil or a nip of the chain. Modern men turning soft. Yuk.
