Had another thought and don't mean to be rude-I have seen chains fitted the wrong way round - the sharp bits should face forward on the top of the bar guide - sorry if you know this but as I say - I have seen it done before and is a serious suggestion.

Always use good quality chain from Stihl or Husqvarna, both are high grade steel and will last much longer than other brands, make sure you are getting enough oil to the chain.
