Default Is it entirely me, or does the cheap chainsaw share the blame?

Gee, do you think there might be a connection there?
Currently I have a Craftsman 16" 36cc.

Although I haven't used it much, it barely cuts and when I push it the blade
just stops.

I bet you put the chain on backwards when you assembled it.


Will the chain still drive correctly backwards? I don't have any
experience with putting one on that way And I don't want to go down to
the shed to look at mine (95 degrees here at 2 pm)


"Correctly?" No. Will it stay on and go around for at least a little
while? Yeah...DAMHIKT!!! (Not paying attention one day...
