While getting my firewood in for the winter, my chain on my chain saw kept getting loose. The only explanation I could think that was causing the problem was the screw and pivot which pulls the blade

After removing the two bolts that hold the plate on the side of the saw, I removed the plate and clip. I removed the small screw which holds the inside plate and distributes oil onto the chain. I removed the old pivot and screw by just lifting it from it\'s setting. After replacing the new pivot and screw, I work backwards replacing the plates and bolts. By turning the new straining screw, the chain gripped the bar and I was back in business.

Remove screws from outside casing to access clutch and chain and the remove screws from casing on opposite side of saw to access flywheel. Wearing gloves so you don\'t cut your hands on chain, Remove chain and chain bar Place a large screwdriver or flat bar in the fins of flywheel to hold back against workbench. This keeps the crankshaft from turning when turning the clutch from the opposite side of the crankshaft. Using a spanner wrench remove the clutch from the motor. I happened to have one that fit my 4.5\" slag grinder- the wrench which I use to remove the nut when changing a grinder/cutting wheel. To loosen the clutch, turn it in opposite direction of a normal thread. In this case, you need to turn the clutch clockwise to loosen it from the crankshaft. After the clutch is removed, remove the backing plate from behind the clutch and replace the straining screw (chain tensioner). Them Reassemble the saw in reverse order.
