  Your Scheppach Chainsaw chain/guide rail might be getting hot due to several reasons: there might be no oil in the tank, so top up the oil; the ventilation in the oil fuel cap could be clogged, so clean the oil fuel cap; the oil outflow channel might be clogged, so unclog the oil outflow channel; the chain could be blunt, so sharpen or replace the chain; or the chain is too tight, so check the chain tension.

  If your Scheppach Chainsaw is plucking, vibrating, or not sawing properly, it could be due to several reasons. The chain tension might be too slack, so adjust the chain tension. Alternatively, the chain might be blunt, in which case you should sharpen or replace it. It's also possible that the chain is worn, requiring replacement. Finally, ensure that the saw teeth point in the correct direction; if not, remount the saw chain with the teeth pointing the correct direction.
