- How to set the correct chain tension what happens if you don't.
I'll be demonstrating it on the STIHL ms261c with a 16'' light04 bar.
Spoiler alert!
Chainsaw chain tension is a hard sentence... especially if you're not from an English speaking country ;)

You schould work for Stihl and you schould get a lot of money. Your videos are just fantastic. Thx. Stefan (Berlin Germany)
Thank you very much
What a great channel! Learning new skills from a badass young lady. Life is good.
Thanks
Good evening Miss 👌👍 Great safety points and great tips too 👍👌 Keep up your OUTSTANDING VIDEOS MISS and Happy St Valentin with your loves one on Monday Miss 🌹👌👍 Cheers 🍻
Thank you so much!
Most of this is available on other videos, but a bit here, a bit there, all over the place. This video combines most of what you need to know in one concise video, and that's why it's such a good video. Thanks for posting.
Glad to hear that! Thank you
Yo, Felixia do you have any tips for when to change out an old chain to a new one? I've got a couple chains with just a few teeth wore down close to the angle mark but other teeth on the chains are fine. How do I know when to junk it? Make a video on that please. Thanks in advance. 😉
@@beanboggs4190 File it back until the cutters break off in the cut! THAT (the last filing before the teeth break off) is when the saw cuts the best! (The space between the raker and the cutter is the greatest.)
I have been adjusting my chain for more than 20 years now often times I explain to people proper chain adjustment is very important and here you are giving an exceptional demonstration thank you so much.

Thanks Joe I’m glad you enjoyed my video
well, this explains why my chain just came off when I turned it on! New to chainsaws and learning everything from scratch here on youtube and many many trial and errors in the woods!! never knew chainsaws where so temperamental! thanks for the much needed informative videos!!
Just did that today and it worked perfectly. Still shocked how perfect the chain spins. Thanks.
Happy to hear that!
This is the first video I’ve seen on TH-cam about proper chain tension. Thank you for posting
The dog barking when you messed up, priceless 👍
And don't forget to release tension before cooling off if you readjusted the tension of the warm chain.
True.. I mentioned that in a previous video but forgot it in this one
Words right out of my mouth
Seriously this video made me learn stuff, smile and laugh. I sure wish I could get that bar for my 261 here in US..Awesome bloopers at the end.
So happy to hear that!
Always love the bloopers have a great weekend
Glad you like em.
Happy weekend
You are good and know your chainsaws and correct chain tension is important, very well said !!
Thank you
I noticed people had complained that there battery on the 161T did not last long, yet to find that proper tension on the chain that the battery lasts, but also the cutting action of the electric chainsaw is about speed and letting a sharp chain do the work rather then push it forward, if you do push down too hard the chain stops as there is probably a electronic sensor stoping it in order to protect the motor, batteries, chain and bar, as we are not using as much toque like a gas powered chainsaw yet more speed, but this seems to result in a longer lasting sharp chain, and more accuracy to smooth pruning cuts. where as trying to push a chainsaw blade on a gas saw because it also has a bit more torque just wears the chain faster, and thus less work gets done with less sharpening, but it takes about a month of continual use of a electric chainsaw to adapt to its potential.
On some saws the chain gets tighter when you tighten the bar nuts. I also like to rotate the chain by hand to see if there is a tight spot. I try to get the chain adjusted so it is not too tight in the tightest spot and not too loose. You are also supposed to break in a new chain running it for 3 minutes with no load. It gets a little messy, but gets the chain warm and oiled.
I really appreciate you adding all the takeouts that was so much fun at the end thank you so much for being amazing TH-camr.
Glad you liked it.
Thank you!
Great advice as always, from a professional! Plus you are a ton of laughs, and I love the way you say....."bar"!!!🥰
🙈 thank you
good video! ill be sharing this with others that i cant explain it and show it to them in person.
Thank you! Please do
I love your videos Thank you and keep them up , I now have my wife watching your videos and she's amazed. 👍🙂
Perfect video! I tightened it again and again during the day and ended up forgetting to loosen the chain. Result, the chain tensioner was broken. So don't forget to loosen in the evening. Especialy in winter!
Very true
😳
Learn something everyday. Never knew to lift bar when tensioning chain. Awesome 👌🏻. Love your vids. Great stuff. 👍
Thank you! Happy my video was helpful
Some great advice, I hope all is well with you! Love from Canada.
I already knew all this but when Felicia is talking, I'm listening
Really great explanation thank you Felixia. Don't forget to loosen the chain slightly when you finish for the day, because it will cool & shrink !
Absolutely!
This is a good looking hard working intelligent lady !
Thank you ☺️
Another great video as always. Keep the chainsaw chain tension tight. Thanks for sharing.
Mike👍👊🌳💚🌳
Thanks
Great video. Nice to see you back on TH-cam. Don't worry we all have problems with words now and then. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next video.
Thanks.
Happy weekend
Great explanation for new users. I also follow that procedure for tensioning on my MS660 and slightly back off the tension until the chain and bar heat up, then re- tension again.
I do miss you coming on here. A small highlight for my day! 👍
I promise I’ll try to do more videos
That’s awesome if you do. I’ve already watched all of your other videos and that just left me wanting you to do more. They ARE very very educational AND entertaining!
Noticed I was sagging a bit off the bar, but after watching your informative video, I've tightened up, lubed up and ready for lots of wood! Excellent video 😉😁
Love the outtakes!
Thanks
Always love your chain saw tips.
Thanks I’m glad
Greetings from Poland. You're a great woman.👍
Thank You! I’ve been running too tight.. love the out takes! ;)
Glad you fixed that 😊
Thanks
Good advise ! 👍 Good to hear from you again .
😊
I really paid attention to the tension part , wow she's like really cool and awesome good video by the way 🙂
Great video as always, still smiling about the tounge twister 😂
Crazy sentence to say 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. Glad you are back making them again
Thank you
Super erklärt! ! Wenn man sich dran hält dann ist eine maximale Lebensdauer der Garnitur vorhanden! Was auch viele nicht beachten ist nach Gebrauch die Kette zu entspannen, ist im Winter bei Kälte sehr wichtig damit nicht die kurbelwellenlager zu arg belastet werden!
Wieder einmal ein super Video, weiter so! !💪💪👌👏👏
Good to see your videos again,
Thanks Felixia, you make chainsaws so interesting!! that was a tongue twister to say alright!!
Thank you! I struggled 🤣
Great tip and thanks for sharing.... plus when to lose it can ruin your sprocket that drives your chain...
You’re welcome
Hey FL new sub here! Great topic. It’s one of the most import things in my opinion! You nailed it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Welcome 🤗
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it
Thanks ! Need to start lifting the bar before tightening.
Yas!!!
Gut erklärt, vielen Dank für das Video! Die Outtakes waren sehr lustig... Mach einfach weiter so, du bist toll!
Dankeschön 😊
Great video love the bloopers ❤️
G'day FLJ, very informative video for people starting out with chainsaws safety first derailments are never fun. PS my MS 400 C finally arrived and you were right it's a little ripper ! I'm using my 291 as a door stop now 😜👍🇦🇺.
Thanks! Yay finally!!! Glad you like it, it truly is a great saw.
Ps remember to always put a scabbard on your doorstop.. safety first 😉
😂😂
I like your axe pendant! I wear one kind of like that,mine was cast with the ashes of my dear friend and former boss. He was a fan of yours too
Wow that’s very special ❤️
Good video and good advice. Always nice to watch your videos👍🙂
Thank you
Hey we haven't heard from you in a while...keep the videos coming 🙏
Tomorrow 😉
@@Femalelumberjack you kept your word 😏😂
Great info from a professional. Thanks
Thank you
Another great video from the tree lady !😊
Thank you
Cool stuff...and you started out in photography quite a Gal and a cutie.
Thanks
Great video
Sei fantastica Felixia...😘
🤗
Great video 💯
Thanks
I think all chainsaw manufacturers should have your TH-cam link printed on their instruction manuals 🤣
Hahaha that would be cool
Great video felixia ya looking well being on holiday
Could you do a video on how you sharpen your chain in the field? Great videos
thank you
She looks so much like Evie Sands singing ' I cant let go ' on tv in 1966
I hope that’s a good thing 😊
@@Femalelumberjack its a compliment in high regard google her singing that song i think you agree the song is very good too
Another awesome video. Stihl should hire you to do a calendar!
I can tell you love your saws. There yer little babies...
Yes and make it a beach calendar! LOL
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Yes I do love my chainsaws
If throwing a chain results in a fatal accident I think it's just your day. I've never been seriously cut from that. I know a veteran tree climber of over twenty years who runs all his chains hanging off the bar. I don't know why but he loves it and never throws the chain.
Good info, ...and interesting outtakes.
I find it very strange that your dog barks at every cuss word you say!
;-)
I trained her like that 😉
She checks chainsaw chain's chain tension by the sea shore.
😆
Stihl great videos.🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡
Thank you
Great video and advice!
Thank you
I'm pretty sure stihl chains are pre stretched but ya it's important to check tension throughout the day I tighten mine slightly more than you did to allow for the heating up during work. I think everybody will prob have their own tightness preferences but great job 👏
As long as their preferences doesn’t hurt the saw it’s fine 😊
Keep up the good work and great content!
I’ll do my best
I like your video on how to tighten the chainsaw and all that stuff very important to keep up your good channel and I followed you shifting regards Andrew
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for this
Great tip there Young lady 💐
Thanks
@@Femalelumberjack anytime young lady 💐
if your chain jumps off the safety will catch it but yes must keep it adjusted!
You might be unlucky that the chain snaps and still hit you
cut more firewood than most N work on my saws yes a chainsaw is dangerus
got any vids of using your saws?
😍,j apprend et je vous admire en même temps ❤️
I just did a full clean and oil on my saw ❤
Har du prøvet Stihl's rapid hexa kæde? Og hvis, ja. Er de noget værd eller bare opreklameret?
Super useful video Felixia, thank you. Looks like I’m tightening my chain too much!!
Good to hear that!
You are certainly awesome
Stupenda
1) West Coast Saws for felling dogs to fit a 261.
2) Do you prefer Danish pork ribs or pork roast ?
1) absolutely no need for that on the 261
2) ribs
@@Femalelumberjack They are not actually for felling. They are for bucking large diameter logs.
Norsk Jul ribbe favourit min.
So if I cut with the top of the bar do I need to tension the chain by pushing down instead of lifting up? If the chain expands as it heats up do I need to relax the tension once the bar and chain cool off at the end of the day?
?
No because you can’t press the bar down the same way.
Yes as the saw/chain cools down you need to loosen the chain a bit
So cute and smart
Thank you
Record in landscape mode? So we can see what you are doing better
I normally do
Priceless
😉
Hey girl great content
Thank you
Nice!
Thanks
What type of fuel can do you use? I see that combi can husqvarna has is nice. PRICEY though.
I prefer the combi can from Stihl.
Good video... mi piaci 😉: hai buon gusto nello scegliere buone attrezzature... 👍
Thanks helpful
You’re welcome
Nice job
Ok, you have chosen some tongue twisters, but we get it anyway, the video is very nice. Ciao..
Thank you
👍awesome thanks
You’re most welcome
Do you pull up the tip while fastening the bar-fixing-screws or whatever they are called?
Yes
More innuendos than you can poke ya bar tip at..
Great video Felixia, and once again, with good tips.
I have but one gripe, just when videoing with a cell phone (which I assume is what you used) run it sideways on Landscape. I know I'm different but, my eyes are side by side, not one on top of the other, so I find it difficult watching through the 'crack in the door' syndrome. Otherwise great, thanks for posting!
If you look at all my other videos you’ll find that they’re all horizontal but this video was made for short/reel as well and needed to be recorded that way to fit those formats.
@@Femalelumberjack Ok thanks for letting me know, I’m just too old school.
Good job 👍 lol.Too funny
Thanks
Thinking what midrange saw to get stihl 291 or echo cant decide 🤔
Stunning lady
What type of chain do you prefered rs chain or rm ( full or semi chisel) thank for rep y like your video
How do you keep your chaps so clean?
great job thank you...Shoe
