I have the WG304 model. No matter what position I keep the saw in, it drips oil when not in use.Is this normal?

Mine doesn't leak a drop. Contact vendor or manufacturer, maybe cracked reservoir or defective seal somewhere?

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.

Obviously a problem. I don't have this happening with mine, and I've cut over ten cords of wood with it.

I don't think that is normal. It doesn't do that with WORX chainsaw I currently use. You probably should call the manufacturer about it.

Not as equipped. I constructed an auxiliary fence that holds the stock at the 45 degrees. It is actually more of an additional table rather than a fence with a strip on the bottom to be placed in the miter slide groove and then I use two small machinist clamps to hold it in place. This saw is much more stable and with far less blade wobble than any other out there. Good luck. If I can be of further assistance just ask.

This chain saw does NOT come with oil -- go to local hardware store and pick up a small bottle -- make sure it is marked as such for chain saw useage.

The motor has a thermo cut out to protect the motor If you put to much down pressure the motor will heat up the motor faster, try using mild pressure and see what happens. I did not run my saw that long, project was small and the saw worked great. Good Luck!!

I have no experience with the product you identified. However, chain oil is designed to hang on to the bar and chain at the temperatures they operate at and provide cooling and cleaning to the clain. Also the issue is will the "wonder product" flow properly thru the saw pump at the right viscosity. The oil cleans the bar of saw dust as well a lubricating. I see no advantage in trying to "improve" on the process with a "wonder lubricant". I use chain saw bar oil, Husquavarna, and have had no problems. Remember in a chainsaw, oil is a consumable and disposable. Best Wishes

I have used this saw a lot with no problems. When I first bought it the blades would fall out occasionally. Now, I firmly push the blade into the slot before closing the blade release lever - no problems. Also be sure you have the correct blade type for this saw. If you do both of those and the problem continues, call DeWalt or bring it to a local service center.

I use mine with the bl1830 and it last quite a while limbing juniper trees. My only problem with this saw is has leaked oil from the case since the first time I,ve used it.

The Bar Oil was not contained within the box but is a fairly inexpensive item at Walmart. Would suggest draining the unused bar oil out and back in container when finished. Unused oil tends to leak out over time. Overall a pretty good little saw for the price. Cuts excellent with good power.

I have used the saw indoors and it loses very little water, just a little directly under the saw and a fine mist from the back of the blade. I have been very happy with this saw.

I always drop a few chainsaw oil drops on the sprocket. Been doing this for years , with no bad effect on the sprocket.I have a Stihl and Husky.

I have sometimes problems with that too, that locking mechanism is a weak point of the saw.lubrication does not really do the trick and it attracts dirt, I more than once gave the latch a little love tap with a hammer to loosen it up.

my saw uses 1 tank gas to 1 tank oil every time and it never stops dripping until oil tank is empty; but the saw is great

I ordered the recommended Makita Oil but I think the hole is to small and gets clogged by the saw dust.

Make sure the guard/guide on the left hand side is removed. Look underneath the saw to make sure no left over packing material is in the way. I have had no problems with mine and I use it 3-4 times a week.

I had that problem at first. One cause was that I let the jaws close on the branch before starting the saw. I now make sure the chain is not touching the branch when I start the saw. I, also, make sure the chips are knocked off after each cut, blow out any chips in the ventilation area, and visually check the chain isn't loose after each cut. Takes just a second, but haven't had the chain slip off once since I have been doing this.

I am sorry, not sure about that. I would check with Hitachi to see what the policy is. Good luck. I have had no problems with my saw and have used it a lot.

Your question is a little vague but I will assume you are having the same problem I had. Namely, the chain flying off or jamming. Note it is VERY important to frequently oil the front cog (the one with the spikes on it at the tip of the blade). There are two holes at the front in order to do this. HOWEVER, there appears to be a manufacturing / design / manufacturing quality problem that Husqvarna are not owning up to with the bearings on the front cog. With the chain removed, the front cog SHOULD turn relatively smoothly. Mine did not despite regular (almost every log cut) oiling. I bought a new blade and had the problem with the chain seizing and/or just flying off. My local dealer had an old blade which I have used without the problem ever since. And you are using the correct bar and chain oil I assume... with the wrong viscosity you will have problems.
