The document mentions a locking knob (11) but does not provide specific instructions on how to loosen or tighten it. However, it does reference chain tensioning, which may involve adjusting the locking knob. Typically, to loosen or tighten a locking knob, turn it counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. For exact steps, refer to the chainsaw manual.
