    Man! I used this method to adjust my chain, it always would come lose doing the other way to adjust it. Using your method it cut great for over an hour and didn't come lose again! Thank you so much, ill use your method for now on.

    Perfect adjustment tut. Short and sweet. One thing to note: do the adjustment with the brake off :)

    This man is a genius a fiddled with my chainsaw for 3 days now because the chain kept flying off. Because I couldn't get the tension right and he fixed it in 3 minutes.🎉🎉🎉

    Instruction manuals don't give the help you do. Your instruction to tilt it was the step I was missing. I'll go try that. I have tightened my chain until I can't tighten it further. This step should . Thank you. Sunni

    You should do a video on the benefits of light weight bars, I recently bought a new 20inch bar for my 272XP and I opted for the light Oregon bar. It doesnt just make the saw feel more nimble it also helps with heat dissipation.

      Find someone to show you some basics, trees dont always do what you think they will, many injury's and deaths every year from them.

      Chain is too long....they do stretch with wear as the links wear out, or you have a couple links too many. Take it to a shop, have it examined and also check that your tensioner is properly working and clean, as it can jam up with wet oily shavings....
      If the chain is in good shape, have them break the chain and take out a couple links....don't forget to turn the tensioner back too.
