Hello ALL:
Is there a way to contact WEN or are they gone?
My father-in-law sent us an older, but not used very much, WEN Model
5014 Electric Chain Saw. The chain is loose, as the arm bent a little
during shipping. I have it lookong good now, but the chain seems loose
and I see no way to adjust it. It is too loose to run. He had everything
but the BOOK!!!
Any way to at least get some idea of how to adjust it, or better yet,
find a book online?
TIA, I have looked everywhere. This NewsGroup knows everything! :-)

I love a good intentioned fib, especially when it makes you laugh.

Well, the lesson was lost on me... but that was damn funny. Thanks for the laugh!

We should demand universal registration of chainsaws?
:-)
Don't know. I did find a place that still claims to support them so I
sent them an email. They are Van Lu.

Man I looked everywhere for a chain for an old electric Wen I bought for $5 at
an estate sale. Finally found one hanging on a wall in an old hardware store
marked for $2 - dusty as hell. The guy was surprised anyone bought it. Didn't
have any more or I would have bought a spare.

Thanks Dave. I may not need a chain. I just do not see a tension
adjustment.

Unfortunately, 14 years ago when Dave was trying to fix his chain saw, he
started it with a loose chain. The chain flew off, crashed through a window
and knocked his young son's gold fish bowl off the table. When Dave went
into the house to retrieve the chain, he heard (and felt) a squish under his
foot. He tried to hide the evidence but his son walked in, and thinking that
Dad had purposely stomped his beloved pet to death, he turned his back on his
father forever. "You are as dead to me as Bubbles is."
Dave took to drinking, moved into a cabin in the woods where, even to this
day, he wears the chain around his neck (loosely) as a reminder of the
family that he once had.
It's a sad story but there is a lesson in it for all of us. I'll leave it to
you to figure out what that lesson is.

It's not the milk and honey we hate. It's having it

are either broken or 40 years old and barely used?

And they need to close the chainsaw show loophole, too.
