How difficult is it to adjust the tension of the chain?

Actually it is very easy to adjust the tension on the chain. The handy tool that comes with it makes for a quick and easy adjustment. This little saw is great for just about any trimming you need to do. I had a branch fall on my roof and was able to cut it down without using a ladder. I love this gizmo...

It's not as easy as a regular chainsaw - mine has been beat up so much (only because I use it like crazy) I now just stick a screwdriver in the chain to maintain tension, as I tighten the cover screw. I've had a couple different pole saws, this one has been the best thus far. If you keep it oiled and dont try to cut down a 50 year old oak tree... the tension stays pretty well for a couple hours without needing any attention. Hope this helps, Carl

Not at all difficult. Use the screwdriver end of the included tool (or a regular flat screwdriver), turn one direction to tighten the chain and the other to loosen the chain.

Not very difficult. Once assembled I took it to a bike shop to have the shifters more finely tuned. The bike shop owner thought this was a very nice bike for the price.

You could adjust the lenght of the chain, but it depends on the size of the room. If its too large i woudn't recommend it.

Initially it takes a but of tinkering to get the tension just right. But once you've got it, you can just slide it up or down...very easy to do.

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!

Well it is as stiff or soft as you want, you can adjust it buy turning a dial or wheel handle at the front, that sett's the spring tension.

First, loosen the two bolts holding the chain bar in place. Then locate the screw at the base of the chain bar. Turn thisscrew until the chain is tight, but still rides easily along the bar. I've found that this saw operates best with a fairly tightchain compared to other models. I tighten my chain until I can only pull the chain away from the bar about a quarter ofan inch from the midpoint of the chain bar. Be sure to securely tighten the two bolts holding the bar when you have thechain tightened.

Our yellow piece on chains do not go way to the top so it make the adjustment length an easy process.

Have not had any issues with it so far. However I would recommend shifting far prior to getting to the incline as the derailleurs struggle otherwise and you can easily slip the chain.

Chain tension is something that does have to be monitored and adjusted on all chain saws. There is stretch/wear in the system upon its initial use, then adjustments are required much less frequently. Also, as the chain wears from continuous use depending on the quality of the materials (chain and bar) and how well your chain oiler is working. Perhaps your old Craftsman is wearing badly and therefore requiring more frequent adjustments? I have found chain tension adjustments on the Hitachi to be simple and typical based on my experience. I am very pleased with its overall performance.

You can adjust the tension by tightening/loosening the screw in the center knuckle though I am not sure if the lowest setting would be too strong for the door you would use it on.

Comes with a tool to loosen the bolts and screw the bar adjustment. Haven't been able to get mine started for months so I haven't needed to adjust the chain. I wouldn't buy this chainsaw again, ever.

Not hard at all. Shifting to a higher chainring requires very little effort. It's my assumption that your current cables are worn causing internal friction that makes shifting difficult. This new shifter includes new cables as well.

Need to check tension,see Instructions. Chain needs to be on sprocket all the way also.

Count the number of teeth on your front cog. Simple as that. But even if it's not the same you can always adjust the chain, all depends on how hard you want to peddle

I don't know of anyway to adjust the tension but I have had something similar happen with another stapler it was because I had it loaded with too long of staple so you might want to check that.

Yea the tension is adjustable. It was easy to mount before and after mounting the scope. The levers are easy to use but I could see them being difficult to use with gloved hands.
