Husqvarna 51.
There are two places that the ***** could be. Sometimes it is right between the two nuts to loosen the bar or if the saw is facing you with the bar it would be right next to the bar. This is where it should be on your saw. It can get hidden with the sawdust and oil build up. Use the flat head to scrap the sawdust away.
in order to tighten correctly you need to loosen the bar up first or you will just bend/break the adjuster. the adjuster should be faceing forward next to the bar,clean the area up (sawdust) and look for it. after tightening remember to tighten the bar
