     Nice info to know.  However, if the info actually pertained to the small electric chainsaw in question (which it doesn't), it would then be relevant.

    I do have some helpful info to add though, on how to remedy the messes made. 

    Unlike the more complicated oiling systems on large GAS operated units (like you are familiar with), this handy and lightweight chainsaw utilizes a soft and flexible plastic-like bladder that slowly drips oil on the chain as it exits the sprocket chamber.  Using your thumb, you press down on the bladder reservoir's cap, to disperse extra chain bar oil when needed.

    I have completely disassembled the unit in order to study, diagnose the flaw, and remedy the situation.   What I found was, instead of setting the unit down on it's base (like you would normally do with any GAS chainsaw), store the unit lying on it's right side, with the blade flat on the shelf.

    Presto!  No more mess.  For the Oil Bladder Hole on the bottom is now turned up on it’s side.  No more gravity flow. 

    Again, I really like how the saw performs, how lightweight and maneuverable it is, and the ease of operation. 

    Just flip it on it's side when storing and you’re good to go. yes

    I really dislike being told, "There's no problem."

    Item was gifted, so no receipt available for warranty service.

    It obviously CAN and DOES leak with the cap on secure.  This item is a useless mess.  I see now why so much attention was given to the one weak link, keeping the bar sufficiently oiled, "Sorry, no warranty.  You didn't oil the blade."  Yeah, right.

    Junk!
