Quick Chain Adjuster (B)
This accessory makes it possible to put the correct tension on a chain saw without using tools! A twist of the wrist loosens the sprocket cover. Turning the thumb wheel puts more tension on the chain. The Quick Chain Adjuster is standard on some STIHL chain saws and is available as an add-on for many other STIHL models. See your STIHL Dealer for more details.

Adjust
Use the top mounted wheel to tighten or loosen the chain.
Tighten
Turn the wing nut clockwise to tighten and flip the wing nut closed.
WARNING
The occurrence called “kickback” can cause serious or fatal injury. Always read the instruction manual carefully before using your saw. STIHL uses a green and yellow color-coding system to help you select a powerhead, bar and chain combination that complies with the kickback requirements of ANSI Standard B175.1 (gasoline-powered saws) and §30 of UL 1662/ ANSI Standard B175.1 (electric chain saws). Ask your STIHL dealer about safe operating procedures and the advantages of the STIHL Quickstop® chain brake, STIHL Quickstop® Plus additional chain braking feature (Q), STIHL reduced kickback bars and STIHL low-kickback saw chains.
STIHL recommends the use of green reduced kickback bars and green low kickback chains on all STIHL chain saws.
STIHL products sold through U.S. STIHL Dealers are for distribution in the United States only.
