      The 440e has tool-less adjuster system but it is not a self adjusting system.

      Here is snap shot of the tool-less adjuster on the 440e

      Personally I would stay away from such systems. I have had used a couple Poulan/Husqvarna saws that had them and found myself having to readjust the chain more often than the other version that requires tools. It simply would not stay adjusted as long,

      My advice would take some time and really look into the these features before buying on spot. You will much happier if you do.
