To reattach your chain, remove the front panel and take the bar and chain off. Line the chain back up on the bar. Hold the chain and bar together and place the chain around the sprocket. Reassemble, then tension your chain.
The most common reason a chainsaw oiler stops working is that the oil hole gets clogged. To fix this, remove the chain and bar from your chainsaw and clean the oil hole and oil outlet port. If this doesn’t fix the problem, you’ll probably need to replace the oil line or pump.
Chainsaw chain oil lasts between 4-6 years when it’s stored in an unopened container or an opened container that has been tightly sealed. Bar and chain oil should be stored in a dark, dry, cool location.
To measure a chainsaw chain you need to find the pitch, gauge, and link count. This information can be found on the information stamp on the chainsaw bar, through the numbers on the chain, or through measuring your chain manually.
Chainsaw chains come sharpened when purchased from all major manufacturers. As a result, you should not need to spend any time sharpening your chain before it’s first use.
You can shorten a chainsaw chain by removing links with a chain break and then re-connecting the chain with repair rivets. However, you need specialized equipment for this process, and removing links could weaken the integrity of the chain. As a result, this process should only be used by experts.
