# What safety features does the LimbSaw have?

## The LS8 model chainsaw requires regular chain tension adjustments using a 9/16th wrench, and the tension should be checked every 30-45 minutes, particularly when cutting softer woods or dead hardwood.

The LS8 model chainsaw is a powerful and versatile tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. However, it is important to properly maintain the chain in order to ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently.

One of the key steps in maintaining the chain is adjusting the tension. This is done by using a 9/16 wrench to turn the bolt, which will adjust the chain tensioner. The chain should be checked every 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type of wood being cut, and the tension should be adjusted as needed.

When tightening the bar cover bolts, the chain will also get tighter. It is also important to check the chain more often when cutting softer woods or dead hardwood. By following these steps, you can ensure that your LS8 model chainsaw runs smoothly and efficiently, and that your chain stays in good condition.
