    Loosen the two bolts on the bar side cover, pull bar out to set tension on chain by turning set screw behind and in line with bar. Sawdust may plug the hole and hide the screw head. Quarter inch slack on cold chain, half inch on warm chain. Before you tighten the chain, remove the cover completely to clean all saw dust out as the chain oiler may get clogged. Support the bar tip, or everything will pry out when you remove the cover bolts. Take a picture with your phone, for proper replacement, then remove plate, bar, bar adjuster, and chain. Clean all galleries , look at bar adjuster, any wear or bend get a new one, or adjustment will be limited, and reassemble. Lube the sprocket on the bar tip, but clean the holes first. File the chain with a guide and round file set for the proper size.

    Hey I know it might sound lame but when I couldn’t figure mine out I took the whole thing to the hardware store to get the blade sharpened for a few bucks…they put the chain back on at the same time when they finish and I needed it sharpened anyhow. Two birds…one stone
