    How to fix a dry saw chain on my Wen 4021?
    • J
      Joshua ChaseJul 27, 2025
      If your Wen Pole Saw chain is dry, the oil tank may be empty, so refill it. Alternatively, the ventilation in the oil tank cap might be clogged, which requires cleaning. Finally, the oil flow channel could be blocked, so unclog it.

      Beth WalshAug 7, 2025
      If the chain or guide rail on your Wen Pole Saw gets hot, it could be due to a lack of oil in the tank. Refill the oil. Another cause might be a clogged ventilation in the oil tank cap, so clean the cap. Also, check for any blockages in the oil tank flow channel and unclog it. Lastly, a dull chain can cause overheating, so resharpen or replace the chain.

    What to do if my Wen 4021 Pole Saw jumps, vibrates, or does not saw properly?

      Jaime LeeAug 15, 2025
      If your Wen Pole Saw jumps, vibrates, or doesn't saw properly, it could be due to several reasons. * The chain tension might be too loose, so adjust it. * The chain might be dull, requiring resharpening or replacement. * The chain could be worn out, necessitating a replacement. * The saw teeth might be pulling in the wrong direction; remount the saw chain with the teeth in the correct direction.
