Does this saw have an automatic chain oiler? A Remington I had did not.

Yes. It works very well. I just use mine for cutting small bbq wood and trimming. Works well.

No it does not. You just have to push the oil filler cap on the handle a few times to oil- No problem there.

NOPE! It's a push button, probably like your previous chain saw. However, it does work very well.

Yes it does. Not much but enough to be a bit annoying. But, I really like the saw. I'm not easy on it. I keep it sharp. Jumps a bit because it doesn't have the beef a fueled saw has.

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.

Yes it does, if left overnight. I have found that once I am finished sawing for the day, I simply pour the unused oil in the saw back into the oil bottle and use again. The oil is not contaminated and it does not hurt the saw. It is my experience and from what I hear that all these type of saws leak off oil for some reason.

It has a integral oil tank and there is a finger pump you use as you cut to oil the chain. This a good little saw. I harvest a lot of firewood with regular engine driven saws and this one surprises me how well it cuts within it's range.

No, the chain oiler does not work properly. I have checked to be certain the pathway for the lubricant is open. I removed the chain and bar oil that I originally put in the saw and replaced it with vegetable oil as Makita suggested and still the chain runs dry. Perhaps the cap on the oil chamber needs to be a breather cap. I might try drilling a hole in the cap to see if that helps. If not, I am just going to discard the saw. Needless to say I am very disappointed with this product.

This seems to be a common problem. I don't think my oiler works at all and the saw is pretty much brand new. I've resorted to using a squirt bottle with oil and do it manually. If anyone knows of a real fix, as in how to take the thing apart and fix the oiler, please share it.

Does not include lube oil or accessories. For small stuff you don't need the oil. Good little saw.

Yes, as long as you have oil in the reservoir. This appears to be the same model as a McCulloch 16" model MCC3516F as I grabbed one of those on clearance when I was searching for replacement chains. I always keep cardboard under the saw because they all appear to leak somewhat. For this saw, when sharpening, get the 5/32" diamond Dremel bits and a good Dremel and use that to sharpen the blade. It will save lots of money and headaches trying to sharpen manually.

I ran a small engine repair shop for 25 years and I am using my leftover Stihl bar and chain oil, but I am sure any oil labeled for chainsaw bar and chain would work just fine. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. as long as you find a echo dealer who will service it. and use their oil and gas recomended. Personally this was my first chanin gas saw. and I was not impressed. hard time starting it after a fw hrs of running. had and probably still have aproblem keeping it running . starts but hard to get up to full operation. goes thru gas real fast. not enough power to cut thru oak. problbly good for other trees. should have bought the sthill chanin saw instead. warrenty only as good as the supplier will warrant. personally Im going back to electric. even though they don't last as long cutting oak. I tend to burn them up. but for what I paid for the echo and thei time wasted trying to keep it running. enstead of cutting. and the gas and oil. I could have bought six electric chain saws and would have got the job done faster and cheaper. just my opion.

Yes it is auto Lubricating and the amount of oil can be adjusted. Great Saw!!

Yes but they don't supply a lot of oil so I'd suggest getting a big jug of bar/chain oil (SAE 30). Walmart sells them pretty cheap or Amazon. This saw is a beast for being electric. I bought an extra replacement chain just in case but I've never had to put it on. I've easily limbed 1-2 cords of firewood already and the trees were 3-8 inches thick on average. I've done a few 8-12 inch trees and it requires a little more work so overall my opinion is that this saw best suits trees 8-10 inches thick or less. Overall I'm very pleased with the saw because I rarely ever need to cut anything thicker than 8-10 inches.

I have been very impressed with this chain saw, I have used other electric chain saws, and they are just toys compared to this one. It is very sturdily made. I have had no problems with the automatic oiler. I have used this saw for a total of 8 hours, cutting down and cutting up trees 8-12 inches in diameter. The only difficulty that I had, was that, if you don't tighten the chain fairly frequently, it will jump off the bar.Over all a great saw!!Rod

Yes. I actually bought the same chain saw. Later purchased the blower. Then added a ryobi string trimmer too. Cheers.

I just checked my WORX chain saw. Much to my surprise it leaked over the last 6 months a significant amount of oil . I had it sitting in a big pan with handle up where any oil leaked would accumulate. This was the case with a 20 year old Craftsman electric saw also. So I guess this is normal. We have to live with it. I had not used the saw for at least 6 months.
