Service & Maintenance Question
It keeps throwing the chain every 2 or 3 cuts. I have the chain tight as it will torque and still be able to hand pull it.
What would be causing this? How do I know if the automatic oiler is working properly? One person suggest that the bar may be damaged, I can not see any danage.

Hi Mr./Ms. Bena,
It's possible you may have at some point pinched the chain and damaged bar trying to remove it from being "stuck". Refer to your manual for proper tightening procedures. /pdf/customer-support/user-manuals/ Loosen bar nuts, lift up on nose of bar and while holding it there adjust chain tension, then tighten bar nuts firmly. Bar and chains are not that expensive and if you have never replaced your chain now would be a good time to do both. Make sure your chain brake is OFF before removing cover. If this is something you don't feel comfortable doing you will need to get it into a servicing dealer. You can find one here. /pdf/service-locator/ .

I'm sorry I didn't address your oiler issue. Make sure your oil tank is filled crank the saw up. Once it warms up hold the throttle wide open. Point the tip down towards the log/tree your cutting. You should see some oil being thrown on it. If not then it is not oiling. You would need to get into a servicing dealer to have them repair it for you.
