What happens here
The presenter demonstrates how to adjust the chain tension. First, loosen the two nuts on the side cover using the chainsaw wrench. The side cover on this model is designed with captive nuts, preventing them from falling off and getting lost. Once loose, use the wrench to adjust the tension screw, located near the bar, until the chain has the appropriate slack. Then, lift the bar slightly while tightening the nuts to secure the chain tension.
Goal: Properly adjust the chain tension on the chainsaw.
