Make sure the chain brake is off. Then undo the two retaining bolts and take the cover off.

Why does the chain keeps tightening

Has it ever come off while using it? If so, there may be burrs on the drive teeth making the chain wider than the bar opening, also if there is no oil getting to chain while operating chain could bind from heat, check sprocket on the bar tip for blockage and inspect the clutch bearing.

Chain brake will not allow cover to be reinstalled

The brake has activated, so needs to be re loaded before it will go back over the drum, there are a number of ways to do this, you can remove the clutch and sprocket, the brake will then go back onto the saw and you can load it with the hand guard on the saw, the clutch is spun onto the crank with a left hand thread, use a screw driver in the cut a ways in the clutch, strike the screw driver with a suitable hammer against the compression of the saw to jar it off, you could also remove the 2 screws holding the hand guard on, remove the hand guard and use this as a tool to load the brake ( with the band facing you twist the hand guard anti clock wise )

Clutch cover will not go back in place after changing chain.

The cover was probably removed with the chain brake set. Unfortunately, the brake must be reset in the cover with a wide blade screwdriver used in the coupling that connects with the handle mechanism. This will expand the brake band allowing it to go over the clutch drum. Good luck!

Trying to fit bar and chain on a new 445.can not replace clutch cover after following instructions closely.it seems brake is on. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE HELP. THANKS.

You'll definitely have to unlock the chain brake to get the cover back on. You should be able to unlock it by pushing the chain brake handle forward, toward the bar and chain when mounted on the saw.

Have husq 445 removed clutch cover to install bar and chain brake not disengaged cannot replace cover. How to disengage with cover off to reassemble?

Use a heavy, wide blade, square-shanked screwdriver to turn the coupling in the cover to 'release'. You may need an open end wrench on the screwdriver shaft to get enough torque to turn the brake coupling. Hope this helps!

I have a Husqvarna 445 chain saw and it does not get enough oil to the bar and chain. I have to stop saw after about 10 minutes of cutting because it freezes the chain so I remove bar and chain clean out...

Your Manual nor IPL mention an oiler adjustment..
445 IPL (may not be your saw)
Is this the original bar? A longer bar requires more oil and your saw is not equipped to supply it.

Detail B (Clutch/Drum/Oiler)
We are seeing many of these does not oil/oils to much problems with these no adjustment models. I recommend you contact Husqvarna, there may be an unannounced recall/repair. If they aren't willing to help you consider contacting your Atourney General and the BBB.

It has an outboard clutch, the oil pump is behind it. If you attempt a repair this will be helpful.

  1. Check the IPL for your saw to see if any special tools are needed.
  2. There are metal piston stops available, when square (almost never) with the piston top these work well, if not square they have been known to punch through the piston. I suggest a length of starter cord or nylon rope be used instead of the piston stop (retain 6" ± so you can remove it). Make sure the piston is near the top of the cylinder before feeding the cord or it can fall through the exhaust port and damage the piston as it rises.
  3. Everyone I’ve ever removed had a left handed thread (tighten it to loosen it).
    Let us know how it worked for you.

Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – for use with IPL

06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000)
15 = week produced - March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
