Remington Deluxe Limb & Trim 12" - loose chain. The chain slipped off, and after having put the chain back around the guide bar, I am trying to tighten it as it is very slack. This is quite an old Remington model, and it does not seem to have an adjusting screw on the front of the saw below the guide bar, as other models seem to do. How do I go about tightening the chain?

First, inspect the chain for bent links or other damage. If ok, loosen the bar mounting nut(s) and turn the tension adjust screw CCW until the chain can be passed over the sprocket, then threaded over the far end of the bar. Make sure the chain cuts toward you on the bottom. Turn the adjusting screw CW until the chain begins to tighten. Proper adjustment is when the lower run of chain doesn't droop from the bar, yet allow easy movement of the chain by hand. Tighten the mounting nut(s) and recheck the chain adjustment. Pay attention to chain droop and readjust as needed during use of the saw. Make sure it is being properly oiled by running the saw in front of a piece of cardboard for several moments--it should throw off a thin line of oil. Hope this helps!

There is a very in depth explanation in this Remington OM.
