    Does anyone have one of these or know of them?

    I was just given one but there is a problem with it, the part where you spin to keep the chain tight is completely rung and so cannot keep any tension on the chain whatsoever.

    Ive looked online loads of laces but cannot source this exact part! Do I need to replace the bar or can the spinndal thing come off for a new one to go on? and is this Flora saw just rebranded as another manufacturer?

    It sounds like the tensioner locking mechanism. Mine comes loose quite quickly in use and needs tightening. If the thread is rung, I would consider buying a new saw (they're in Lidl for 75 quid at the moment) and keeping the old one for spares.

    It is a rebranded saw, I forget the manufacturer but they make saws for several brands. Google should turn up the answer.

    Lidl electric chainsaws are rubbish...the chain invairably slips off and this can be dangerous.

    They're not exactly cheap when compared to a halfway decent petrol model that will have more pwer,be more portable and be far safer.
