Method and apparatus for manually applying a selected fit of a saw chain loop to a chain saw. A tensioning procedure is performed simply by loosening a guide bar hold-down screw. The loosened guide bar is slightly spaced away from the mounting plate of the chain saw as a spring extends the guide bar relative to a drive sprocket which tightens the saw chain. The hold-down screw, which has an inclined axis, is then tightened to force the saw bar obliquely toward the mounting plate, simultaneously forcing the guide bar in a longitudinal direction that backs off the saw chain tension by a predetermined amount.
