Adjust the tension of the saw chain
The more you use the chain, the longer it becomes.
A slack chain can jump off and cause serious or even fatal injuries. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up slack. Check the chain tension every time you refuel the product.
Follow the step by step guide for correct tensioning tips.
