Now you have one with an in-tact screw you should take it out and figure out the size and thread-pitch so if it breaks again you can buy a generic one.
And then post the info online somewhere - even if it's a random Reddit thread Google will pick it up and a search like "Aldi chainsaw chain tightening screw replacement" should pick it up.

I find the proper use of the saw to be more important that with a petrol saw as it isn’t immediately clear if it’s on or not. Others in the area are immediately aware when there is an idling chainsaw, but not so much with an electric one.
- shimonabi 6y agoWell, you did the right thing. I think I will sell mine, because I also have an old small gasoline Stihl for firewood. It sure is an interesting feeling how the blade stops immediately. Mine is 2000W. I always handle it like it is spinning, so there is no difference safety-wise.
