If it hasn't been said, your issue is not the Bar. The issue is repeated use of the Sharpening feature and no manual correction to the Blade. The low profile chain uses a bump link in front of each Cutter link. That bump sets the cutting depth to reduce kickback and control Chip size.

Thank you for the video. Mine worked fine through the first four cords. I was using a synthetic bar oil. Switched to the Oregon bar oil and started having trouble, though it took quite awhile to deduce the problem, including looking at this video. Switched back to the synthetic oil. So far so good.

Thanks for information, sound like when milling to use an auxiliary oiler and not worry about it. On The Ironhorse channel he advised to open up the oiler hole on the bar. That’s how the older chainsaw bars used to be made.

That's a first class video. I bought this saw end of last year and could not work out why the chain was not getting oiled. It does seem to be a very poor design for oil and I have heard that the oil cap needs to have some ventilation when closed otherwise there is a vacuum and the oil does not run easily. |Not all homes have an air compressor but I manage with a compressed air bottle, which you could take on site. Great work and thanks so much for making such a good video. I'm in the UK

Check out my one year review video to get a positive perspective on the saw. Click the link above. This video is more for those who have bought the saw and are struggling with some of it's issues. But it's also good info to know before you buy I suppose. Subscribe and click the thumbs up and bell notifications to avoid missing the latest video. Hope all this add free video work is helpful friends. Happy cutting!

Thanks from the UK for your g8 review, very helpful information 👍👍

Thank you for posting this detailed helpful video:)

Thank you very much for such detailed reviews. Top man,

Thanks. Mine comes in this week.

Just ordered one this week, so your video was extremely helpful. The bar oiling design is poorly thought out, the non-vented cap seems a little shaky as well.

Great videos and comments. Thank you! Just got mine and did quite a few firewood cuts. So far so good. But my saw has little hole in chain oil cap and looks like some vacuum lock prevention mechanism on the bottom I figure to avoid leakage. You use your saw horizontally which could be an issue. Other than that, I knew it was heavy for electric but makes chips much bigger than my gas saws did but kick back rather surprised me with its strength.

Mine arrived today. The fact that on one from "Oregon" support/service has replied to any of the comments on these videos has made me reach a decision. I am sending mine back to Amazon,and ordering a WorkX, or something else. I have a great personal disdain for companies that do not interact with these product videos.

I have another comment re you awesome log cutter. Why not mount your own oil bottle on the framework with tubing and using fishtanks air hose and a valve allow oil to drip onto the chain links. You could drill a small accurate hole in the housing by the drive gear and allow gravity to assist in lubricating the chain. Food for thought!

great experience

I am considering a corded saw.

Thanks for the video on this.

Where the oil comes out it has a rubber surround and the hole in the round tensioner wheel has a rubber

Excellent video. Actually, was looking for how to replace chain (manual was not clear to me) since it threw the chain after about 10 minuets of use right out of the box. Other people have commented about the chain jumping issue and now this saw apparently has an issue with oiling as well.

Thanks just bought mine . no oil came with it. Will try a gas chainsaw oil . Video was great makes it easier since I hate instruction manuals . Why read when you can kick back and watch TV.
