This article explains what to check if your electric chainsaw is not lubricating the chain correctly.


⚠️ Safety Notice

Ensure the chainsaw is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before carrying out any checks.


Possible Causes & Basic Checks

Check Chain Oil Level

  • Ensure the oil reservoir is filled with the correct chain lubricating oil.
  • Refill if the oil level is low or empty.

Check for Oil Leaks

  • Inspect the chainsaw for any visible oil leaks.
  • If any leaks are present, please contact our Technical Support Team for further assistance.

How to Check Oil is Being Delivered

To test whether the chainsaw is lubricating correctly:

  1. Hold the chainsaw at approximately a 45-degree angle to the ground.
  2. Run the chainsaw briefly.
  3. You should see oil being ejected and a light trace left on the ground.

If the Issue Persists

If no oil is being delivered to the chain, there may be a blockage in the oil lines. In this case, please contact our Technical Support Team for further assistance.


✔️ Summary

  • Check chain oil level and type
  • Inspect for oil leaks
  • Test oil delivery at a 45-degree angle
