Excellent guide, simple to follow and showed me what I have never found elsewhere. I particularly like the ‘drag across the bench’ and ‘one finger of each hand test’ for upper & lower limits of chain tension. Well Done!

I just got my chainsaw couple weeks ago and I was looking for a way to adjust my chain on my saw.
Thanks for the info
