ICS Cut-Off Saw: Field Troubleshooting

Saw acting up on the job? Run the quick checks first. Most field problems with gas cut-off saws trace to a handful of causes: fuel and choke procedure (see the starting procedure guide), incorrect chain tensioning, restricted water supply, or a clogged air filter — the maintenance tips checklist covers all four. Crooked or slow cutting usually means a worn or incorrectly tensioned chain; the chain life guide guide shows what to look for.

Need a hand beyond the checks above? Call our parts team at 561-964-4949 with your saw's model and serial number — we'll help you pin down the problem and quote the genuine ICS parts to fix it.
