If you just need to cut very infrequently though, I've used the 18 for probably bucking 3-4 cords of wood before it had these more significant issues.
If anybody knows if I can fix it somehow, I'm all ears too.
Also, this is because of the 1-knob BS design. Most chainsaws I think, are 1 adjustment for chain, 1 for bar. You DO NOT want a loose dangly bar. And you want a chain that has a tiny bit (about 1 tooth) of give when you pull it or less. You do NOT want a very tight bar b/c friction and such. The problem with the 1-knob is you cannot independently control these two adjustments. And the design, makes it where the bar is very loose, when the chain is properly tight. And if you get the bar closer, the chain is way too tight.
Edit - actually researching this....it seems like it was a big issue that maybe they fixed with a different tensioner design? This might be less/not an issue in newer models of the 18 (I got the 18 about 4 years ago approx)

For those looking for chainsaw, this looks like a great deal. Generally been happy with most of my Ego products and dont forget to check with your electricity service provider on rebates for buying this which will save you even more. For instance my provider offers a $30 rebate for residential chainsaw
