Pro-Tip: Always double-check your chain tension before starting a cut, especially with new chains which tend to stretch during their initial use. A loose chain can derail or cause poor cutting performance, while a tight chain wears down the motor and battery faster. The chain should snap back into place when pulled lightly from the bar but still move freely by hand.
