Where do you adjust the chain tension? I see the tool, I see a black knob. I see no instructions on how to adjust.

Look down the chain bar by the saw housing you will see a single screw head. Just like a gas saw. The black knob you see is a cover over another screw, that is how you take the bar off the saw housing. Easy!! I didn't see any instructions either but have used gas saws for 40 or more years. Pretty much the same when adjusting. Hope this helps :0)

Adjust tension with a screwdriver by turning the tensioning peg screw clockwise or counterclockwise to achieve proper tension.The correct tension is achieved when the chain in the middle of the bar can only be lifted by approximately 3-4 mm

The black knob is a cap that covers a half inch nut that needs to be loosened, then you adjust the chain tension with the screw adjuster next to the bar that you will see if you look at the front of the saw case - right where a normal chain saw adjusts. A medium flat tipped screw driver is used to take up the slack, then tighten the half inch nut back down.. Plug in the saw and run it for a second, then unplug it and check the tension again. If the chain has loosened from where you set it, repeat. Once the slack is out of the saw chain finish tighten the half inch lock nut, and check your bar oil.I personally put the rubber cap away in a drawer so that it wouldn't get lost.

The black knob comes off. Do not twist or turn - lift straight up. It pops off to reveal the nut that you loosen for chain adjustment. Where the chain goes in the body at the bottom is a screw. Loosen or tighten the screw to adjust chain tension. Then re-tighten the nut to hold the tension. Put the black knob back over the nut. You're ready to go!

We found the tension adjuster to be a little stiff upon receipt of the product. In fact, we couldn't fully adjust it until we mounted it on the handle bar. Once mounted it still required a bit of force to adjust, but loosened up after a few adjustments while the trainer was in motion. Hope this helps.

Changing the chain is similar to any other two nut chainsaw, there is a crank handle instead of two lock nuts. Loosen the crank and remove it. Then loosen the chain tension a bit, and wiggle the cover off. Slide the bar in and remove it, the chain can now be removed. Putting the saw back together is easy as well, the chain brake and chain tension system are inside the metal side cover which is very easy to clean. The tool free chain tension works great, but rarely need to adjust it, so I guess never needing to adjust the chain I really didn't the tool free option of the e series. But do like it.

I do that, often. I have the chain as tight as it can be. Not much adjustment there. Thanks

This video shows you how with a chain link swivel. It's towards the end of the video. he uses a pair of pliers, I usually use a flat screw driver.copy and paste this link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=norKZYmEz-Q

At first I was skeptical of this feature. Step 1.-loosen the yellow knob on the side of the bar turning counter clockwise . Step 2.-tighten the chain by turning the gray ring around the yellow knob clockwise. Step 3.-lock it back in place by turning the yellow knob clockwise. I have learned to appreciate this feature. I see an answer about the chain coming off below, my guess is it's due to a loose chain or improper use. Properly maintained my saw is still running like a champ!

I was breaking my head trying to figure it out. I just kept turning the knob towards the right side and after a few seconds, you'll see one of the pedals rising a bit. Do it to preference, but I was finally able to raise my pedals and now it feels like I'm doing something!

Where the handle attaches to the shaft is a thumb screw. Loosen that and adjust the lever under that. It's easy.

The tension knob also secures the plastic side cover. That needs to fit flat before the threads will engage the "tension" knob. (Quote marks are because its tensioning function tends to fade, and then the knob mostly clamps the bar after you hand tension the chain.)

Dennis, first you take off the two nuts on the black chain cover and remove it. Then you spread the handles out so that you have access to the chain gear and the space between the guards and the chain and chain bar. I use a flat head screwdriver to clean all the debris out of the inside of the saw. Be sure you unplug your saw before you start working on it and be sure to add oil in the tiny oil holder. I also put some oil on the chain and chain bar too. It is a great little saw. frank B.

There is a gray locking ring around the large yellow knob on the right. Twist the gray ring to unlock the yellow knob, then turn the knob to tighen the chain, THEN re-tighten the gray ring to lock the knob in place.

There's definitely a way to do it; I had the same problem initially. If memory serves, there's a little lever or something that you need to push/pull before you can adjust it. Pretty sure it was detailed in the instructions that came with mine.

There is a screw that allows you to adjust the peeler tension. If it's not in the instructions, look at the diagram of the parts and loosen the part that controls the tension. I had the same problem but fixed it fine. If you can't find it, ask again and I'll check my peeler when I get back home...probably Tuesday 11-5.

When I changed the chain ring I didn't have to make any adjustments to the chain. Hopefully that helps you.

Should be an allen wrench set scree on top...turn it to increase the tension...push down on the wrench while in screw to release all tension

There is an adjustment on each leg by moving the pin either up/down. You then pull the legs in/out by adjusting the chain. The final adjustment is the hand adjustment as seen in the picture.

Turn the Three pointed knob clockwise to tighten it on your handlebar. Used mine again last weekend at the Sugarpine MC Rally. It was a little loose so I turned the knob and tightened it right up!
