    Why is my ICS 695GC Chainsaw diamond chain breaking?
    • C
      Cody Cox IIAug 21, 2025
      If the diamond chain on your ICS Chainsaw is breaking prematurely, it could be due to improper chain tension. Make sure to adjust the chain tension accordingly. Also, avoid inserting the saw into a slot narrower than the diamond chain segments. Insufficient feed pressure while cutting can also cause breakage, so avoid letting the saw bounce and chatter.

      If the chain tensioner on your ICS Chainsaw is breaking, it's likely that the side cover nut isn't tight enough. Torque it to 20-25 ft-lbs (27-33 Nm).

      Ashlee GreenSep 3, 2025
      If water isn't flowing to your ICS Chainsaw, check if the water hose is kinked or the water supply isn't turned on. Unkink the water hose or turn on the water supply. Also, the water ports might be plugged with debris, so clean the water ports.

    • A
      ashleycruzSep 1, 2025
      If you find that the chain on your ICS Chainsaw is stretching prematurely, it might be because there isn't enough water pressure. The minimum water pressure required is 20 psi (1.5 bar).

    • C
      Cody JohnsonAug 31, 2025
      If you're experiencing poor cutting speed with your ICS Chainsaw, the diamonds may be glazed over. To fix this, make a few cuts in an abrasive material to expose the diamonds.

    How to increase the RPM on my ICS Chainsaw?
    • R
      Richard PatelAug 29, 2025
      If your ICS Chainsaw isn't reaching its full RPM, the air filter might be dirty. Clean or replace the air filter to resolve this issue.

    How to fix a difficult start on my ICS 695GC Chainsaw?
    • J
      Jason MatthewsAug 27, 2025
      If your ICS Chainsaw is difficult to start, it could be due to a flooded engine. To resolve this, push the choke in, hold the throttle on full with your foot, and pull the starter cord with hard, short, fast pulls until the engine starts. Another possible cause is a fouled spark plug. Remove the spark plug, clean it, and re-gap it to .020 in (0.5 mm).

    Why is the diamond chain speed slow on my ICS 695GC?
    • B
      Brittany JohnsonAug 27, 2025
      If you're experiencing a slow diamond chain speed on your ICS Chainsaw, it's likely that the chain tension is too tight. Ensure that the diamond chain can be pulled around the guidebar by hand.

    What to do if my ICS 695GC Chainsaw won't start?
    • C
      Cheryl StokesAug 25, 2025
      If your ICS Chainsaw won't start, the issue might be due to aged or bad fuel. Try replacing it with fresh fuel. Alternatively, a defective spark plug could be the culprit, so consider replacing the spark plug.
