Lubricating Your Chainsaw

Reference your owner's manual before working on your chainsaw. Each chainsaw is going to operate a little differently, and the type of oil you use will depend on the weather conditions and the type of chainsaw.

Let's Get Started

1. Clean the chainsaw: Before lubricating, make sure the chainsaw is clean and free of sawdust or debris. Use a brush or cloth to clean the chain and bar.
2. Locate the oil reservoir: On most chainsaws, the oil reservoir is located near the base of the chainsaw. Check your chainsaw’s manual to locate it if you are not sure. (Ex. Below)
3. Fill the oil reservoir: Use a chainsaw bar and chain oil specifically designed for chainsaws. Fill the reservoir to the recommended level, which can usually be found in your chainsaw's manual.
4. Turn the chainsaw on: This will help the oil circulate and reach all the necessary parts of the chain and bar.

That's It!

If you own a grease gun, now would be the perfect time to grease your chainsaw.
