How to properly lubricate your Poulan gas chainsaw

A chainsaw is a powerful yard tool that can quickly take care of fallen or overgrown tree limbs, but without the right care, it can turn into a dangerous threat to your personal safety. Make sure that you keep the chain oil reservoir filled at all times. Check chain oil level before each use. Clean the guide bar after using the chainsaw so that saw dust doesn't clog the guide bar groove and interfere with chain lubrication. Check the chain for proper lubrication before each use. To check that the oiler is working properly, put newspaper under the chainsaw then lift the chainsaw slightly and pull the trigger to bring the chainsaw to full speed. Oil should splatter onto the paper. If not, clean out the oil ports in the bar as directed in your owner's manual.
