How to correctly adjust the chain tightness of a chain saw

Preparations before adjustmentBefore adjusting the chain tension of the chain saw, some preparations are required. First, you need to turn off the chain saw and wait for the saw chain to cool down. Secondly, you need to prepare the required tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, adjusters, etc. Finally, you need to check whether the chain of the chain saw is normal and whether it needs to be replaced.

2. How to adjust the tightness
3. Before adjusting the tightness, you need to loosen the locking screw. The locking screw is usually located at the bottom or right side of the chain saw's head.
4. Use the adjuster to loosen the chain and tighten the chain until it fits snugly on the rail but is not too tight. It should be noted that the wheels should be able to rotate smoothly, otherwise the machine will be damaged.
5. Retighten the screws and check the chain tightness again before starting the chain saw. It is recommended to perform a test saw to check whether the distance between the saw blade and the guide rail is appropriate.

3. Precautions when using the chain saw
4. Every time you use the chain saw, you need to check whether the chain has the appropriate tightness.
5. If the chain is too tight, it will increase the wear of the chain saw and reduce its service life; if the chain is too loose, it will cause the saw edge to be uneven.
6. During the use of the chain saw, the guide plate needs to be refueled regularly to maintain the lubrication of the chain.
7. When using a chain saw, you need to wear protective equipment such as a safety helmet, goggles, and earmuffs to avoid injury.

By correctly adjusting the tightness of the chain saw chain, the efficiency and life of the chain saw can be improved. At the same time, when using the chain saw, you need to pay attention to safety and abide by the operating procedures to avoid accidents.
