or checking is done on the machine.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
Check the chain tension every time you refill with saw

during which you should check the tension more
frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
