Have you not asked this exact same question many times and started many threads about it?

Tighten it when it gets loose.

Brand new chain, tighten a couple times in the first couple tanks, as the rivet holes loosen - chains don't "stretch".

Used chain, set tension once when I'm installing it. 98% it'll be fine until it comes off again.

I like that, science at it's best .......98% of the time. Anyone who has run saws long enough and failed to tighten a chain til they threw it is a dang liar. We have all done it

I like to find out why the chain constantly gets loose. Usually that is why someone starts a post on the topic.

Worn out chain drives both sprockets or rim drive.

When does HipaStore finally get banned for generating nothing but garbage threads?

What’s next, a question about when you refuel your saw? Or take it out of your truck?

Top-notch contributions to the site, that’s for sure.

Chain tension gets checked whenever we sharpen the saw, which is before or after a firewood cutting session. Tilting the bar upwards as you tighten the clamping nuts down seems to hold the tension better.

Why does HIPA Store keep asking question after question? Are you writing a book? Trying to drum up business by asking endless questions that go no where?

 

[Colonel428]

Not sure what their angle is but it doesn't benefit anyone on here that's for sure.

Probably, all the while missing the point that the more of this garbage they post, the less likely we are to do business with them. “Engagement” is not always the most useful metric in online advertising…

Western society has changed, for the worse.

Your 462 is probably Aussie assembled and just doesn't like to work hard?
