I have a really dumb question. I was looking at buying a new chainsaw and looked at the Poulan Pro series w/ the toolsless tensioner system. I was concerned that it would not stay tight when cutting. I ended up being convinced that it was a good system and I bought one. . . Turns out, my concerns were accurate. I cannot keep the tensioner tight and my chain comes loose every 2-3 min of cutting. The "nut" that tightens the bar is a plastic pop up tab and I am afraid I will break it if I try to tighten it any more.
Does any one else have this problem and any advice on how to fix it?
I have considered removing the plastic pop-up tab and replacing it w/ a washer and nut to allow more tension on the bar.
