the chain tension knob is off; how do i put it back on?

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.)

On the body of the saw, near the point where the chain goes beside the cover over the motor, there is a round knob. Rotate the black handle out so that you can turn it. This knob is used to make small adjustments to the tension on the chain. Turn the knob one way to loosen the chain and the opposite direction to tighten the chain.

For anyone wondering, the knob just pulls right off. Just give it nice tug and it comes off. The knob will go right back on when you're done and it works just like you never took it off.

Do not assume that the chain was put on correctly at the factory, mine wasn't and it took me a while to figure out that it was put on backwards - so much for quality control. I would take the chain and bar off and reassemble it. Check to make sure the bar extender pin is in the hole in the bar. Good luck

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

There is a little knob right above the handle that is an on and off valve.... Turn that... Mine came in off position.

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

We bought one for Christmas and it started doing that. We found that the chain is coming off - but we couldn't tell until we took the chain guard off. Apparently the tension spring doesn't hold strong enough when the terrain is rough. We put it back on a couple of times and have since wrapped a wire around the tension rod to hold it. It now works perfectly!

Turn it over twisted it, pushed it up and twisted it again to lock it. Hope this helps.

Unscrew both the black knobs that attach the hydraulic cylinders to the rowing handles. Lower/raise to find the tension that works for you. I hope this helps!

you have to stuff the electrical connection down in the tube and slide the handlebar assembly through and pull electrical connection back through the oval hole. Remember to put the oval shaped nut inside the handlebar assembly before slipping it through...you need that to use the adjustment knob properly.

Press the gear down, it moves just enough to get the c ring off. You can use a couple of small standard screw drivers to remove if you do not have the right tool ( i used screw driver method, but watch your fingers)

Interesting thing...I experienced this issue yesterday as well. The wire which opens throttle for auger and connected to the bar which engages it gets a bit loose. Try to pull it with your hand, you will see the difference. That being said, there is a metal plate with holes under the rubber cover on that wire where you can adjust tension of the wire connected to the throttle. Please note it is not easy to do, sometimes, if no one helps you. But it is doable. Let me know if you have further questions.

There is the big plastic chain guard in the front of the motor. If that is in the wrong position, the chain won't turn. Either push it forward or pull it back.

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

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)
