Motor Oil Info

Despite all appearances, chainsaws are very delicate in certain respects. Yes, they have the ability to tear through even the thickest wood in a matter of moments. But when it comes to maintenance, chainsaws should be finely tuned to ensure that they continue to run properly. By performing routine checks of the oiling system, you can extend the life of your chainsaw.

Start by filling the oil reservoir and wielding the saw a few inches above a sheet of white paper. After revving the saw and pressing the oil lever, you should see some tiny flecks of oil spilling out on the paper. This suggests that the blade is receiving enough oil to run smoothly. Be sure to replenish your tool with 2-cycle chainsaw oil on a regular basis.
