Likely cause of chainsaw oiler not working?
I have a Husqvarna petrol driven 'Rancher 45' chainsaw. The oiler has stopped. Before I take it to a repair shop, are there any 'most likely' things that I could easily check myself? I've never had the covers off. All I ever do is sharpen the chain.
Now that it's winter I need it! Fortunately I have another Husqvarna.
Naturally, it's not out of oil. I go through litres of chain oil each winter.
Real simple test is to take the cover, bar and chain off and run the saw with out them. If you see oil coming out the side, the plug is in the channel for the bar. No oil means it is internal, and need to go to a dealer.

After you have purchased your chainsaw it is important that you learn more about the various parts that make up what is quite a dangerous power tool. Understanding the important role that each part plays will help to make chainsaw repair and maintenance much easier for you.
As you will soon discover there are certain parts on your chainsaw whether it is a Husqvarna, McCulloch or Stihl model that need more attention paid to than others. By making sure that you take care of the equipment then this will not only ensure that it lasts for many years to come but works efficiently at all times as well.
Below we take a look at just a few of the parts of your chainsaw that will require more attention than others during the time you own one.
1. Chain Catcher - This is one of the most important safety features to be found on any chainsaw today and is often made from plastic or metal. The main role of this part of the chainsaw is to prevent untoward parts of the chain should it break during use flying back towards the operator. If you discover yours to be cracked or a piece missing replace immediately.
2. Chain Brake - This is a relatively new part that has been put on to various chainsaws. In fact the chain brake was only introduced back in the middle of the 1990's. Its main role is to help prevent kickback from occurring when the chainsaw becomes embedded in a piece of wood and the chain is unable to turn. Again if you notice that the cable to the brake is frayed or damaged in any way replace it immediately.
