I wonder if I should buy the spare chain now together with the tool itself and of course 1qt bottle of oil. I just wonder how long does the chain last

I've cut a bit over a cord of firewood with it and not had to replace mine quite yet. Though I'd definitely consider a better chain and not the Worx brand one when I get to replacing it... The oil will definitely be needed, it eats through it

The chain for this saw is OEM from Oregon Chain' and meets ANSI standards for "low kickback".who makes better chain//

Quart? Get a gallon. Instead of a spare chain, you might just need a file and the discipline to keep the original chain sharp (the need for a second chain depends on how much wood you will be cutting, and how hard that wood is).

HiWe have only used the saw twice which is why we went electric. Both times to cut up fairly big trees. So far the chain shows no sign of wear.

I have not had that problem on my machine.But I do have 30 years in repair work at a oil refinery.You did not say how old your machine is, but if you have had it long enough to wear out the sprocket it must be fairly old.If you did not replace the chain at the same time you replaced your sprocket then you are putting the wear pattern from your old chain to your new sprocket. This will cause a vibration that will transfer into your other problems.You need to check all of your sprockets and chain for wear. In putting it back together you have to have the tention on your chainis not too tight or too loose. you should be ale to raise it half the thickness of your chain, I hope this will help you I have not had that problem on my machine.But I do have 30 years in repair work at a oil refinery.You did not say how old your machine is, but if you have had it long enough to wear out the sprocket it must be fairly old.If you did not replace the chain at the same time you replaced your sprocket then you are putting the wear pattern from your old chain to your new sprocket.

Saw worked good, oil leaked everywhere, I took mine back, never sharpened the chain, sorry.

Unfortunately just about all chain saws will appear to leak oil when not in use because the chain and bar are saturated with oil during use to help prevent wear. I recommend storing it in a plastic bag with some paper towels under it to absorb any dripping oil. I absolutely love the Greenworks battery powered saw. You can use it immediately when needed.

I def think so. The oil actually is the key and so far it's worked really well for me. When I need the oil again, I am going to buy this same Combo set again rather than experiment.

Thanks your a life saver.. worm gear follower was chewed up.. must not be hardened gears. The grease is liquifying so that probably doesnt help matters either. Only a few hours usage, though with stiff batter.Any recommendations on grease? I'm inclined to want to use automotive wheel bearing grease.

I wipe it down well and let it dry. Sometimes I even use an air compressor blow gun to dry iot off and more effective cleaning. There are lots of different chain lubes out there. I use Dumonde Lube. It's greasy, not dry but not a problem for me as I clean my chain every week. (I ride 100 miles a week)

I'm not sure where your talking about, but the general idea is to put oil on one part of the chain and as it turns it distributes the oil. I would be more concerned if it doesn't look like the whole chain is getting oiled. At least the inside surface of the chain should be getting oiled.

It has an automatic oiler that keeps the chain lubricated and it is adjustable, you can adjust the amount of oil that lubricates the chain.

The wise thing is to accept that it leaks. This chain saw is my favorite. All my chain saws leak. But my Husqvarna cuts real well. Enjoy yours.

No, as far as I know. I just added oil and snugged the chain and away I went and it is operating quite nicely for about 7months now, on lite duty.

I bought a quart of "chain saw lubricating oil" from Ace Hardware. That is what it is called.

I would suggest an e-mail directly to the company. The woman who runs the company is very proud of her product and service. Consequently, I'm sure she will give you all of he help she can. I have used one bottle over about 2 months and it has been just fine--but I've also followed their instructions and have kept the oil in a cool spot in the house--Not hard in Mt!. I've been extremely satisfied with the product, both in terms of quality and price and in fact have recently ordered 2 more bottles.

It has an Allen wrench that goes with it to tighten the chain. The one I have has not required chain tightening. It's important to keep oil in the chamber.

Dave: the first day out of the box I cut 200 lf of champion metal roofing. oiled lightly when I put the tool away. next day cut 60 lf. works just great. I let the tool do the work and not force anything. I always oil my tools. as for how long the bit lasts I have yet to ware it out. I think it is a good idea to have a spare on hand just in case when your on a job.

A chain saw repair guy told my a little secret. After you use the saw, crack open the chain oil cap to relieve the pressure. Then tighten it back up. It cuts down considerably on the amount of oil that continues to come out of the saw and gets all over the back of my truck.

No, not that I remember. Chain oil is readily available and is inexpensive.
