16″ Electric Chain Saw

Experienced gardeners share their insights in answering this question :
You need “Bar and Chain Oil”, available at hardware stores and home centers. It is SAE 30 (30 weight non-detergent oil) with additives to make it adhere to your bar and chain. An excerpt from a Remington manual follows (edited). FILLING OIL TANK 1. Remove oil cap. 2. Fill oil tank with SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F. • Colder use SAE 10 oil. • Warmer use SAE 40 oil. 3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for a good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank. 4. Wipe off excess oil. • It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. • Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage. Some manuals go from page 6 to page 14. This one is very good. http://shoppingcart.msservicecompany.com/msservice_net/product_files/113005-01D/113005-01D_OM.pdf

How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

Be sure to use bar chain oil, Not regular motor oil. (Your saw has standards).
Does the pole saw use oil? Yes, bar and chain oil is required to properly lubricate the cutting system. Oregon Bar and Chain Oil is recommended for the PS250.
This means that the viscosity of this oil ranges (5w30) from 5 when it`s cold to 30 when it is hot. This oil is good lubricating for light-duty diesel and petrol engines. So, you can use it as a Chainsaw Bar Oil.
What Is SAE 30 Oil? The SAE 30 oil is a single grade oil with a viscosity rating of 30. It`s called a single grade (or monograde) oil because it only has one viscosity grade. This is different from a multi grade oil, like 10W-30, which is rated for both SAE 10W and SAE 30.
Vegetable and plant-based oils like canola oil can be used in place of bar and chain oil, but they will not work well in extremely cold or hot temperatures.
Just like your car`s engine depends on oil to keep it running smoothly, your gas-powered chainsaw engine needs oil to operate at its best. Different chainsaws require different oils, and using the wrong oil or not enough oil can cause major problems.
Electric chainsaws need oil for lubrication and protection of the chain and guide bar. The oil dripped on the guide bar is protecting it from damage and overheating. Unlike gas-powered chainsaws that need fuel mixed with oil, electric chainsaws do not need oil as a fuel component.
Any oil will work, even olive oil, except for that flinging at the top sprocket. there is an additive in chainsaw oil that makes it “stringy” and help it hold onto the chain links.
Pro Tip: Lubricate the sliding extendable poles of your tree trimmer as well as the pruner shears, lever arm, and blade with WD-40® Specialist® Dry Lube. The long-lasting corrosion protection does not attract dirt or debris and the formula provides superior lubrication with no oily residue.
Any oil will work, even olive oil, except for that flinging at the top sprocket. there is an additive in chainsaw oil that makes it “stringy” and help it hold onto the chain links.
It`s works just fine, and empties out in parallel with the gas, same as chain oil. I`ve dome some chain saw milling also, and still use the canola oil.

Oil leaks out of the remington electric pole saw. The saw is stored/seated upright and I can’t see the problem
ANSWER : Remove the bar and chain, then clean the entire area. Look for leakage at either the small port where the bar fits, or from the motor case itself. Make sure the oil tank vent is open so that pressure doesn’t build up from heat. If the leakage is from the case, then look for a crack in the oil tank, or a defective oil line from the tank to the oil pump. Clean the drive end of the bar oil-channels that go out from the large holes to the chain groove on each side. Clean the entire chain groove. It also may be easier to just dump the oil out of the tank after each use if the chain seems to oiling properly. Hope this helps!
