FAQ

What type of lubrication should I use on my saw?
Keep your saw's chain-oiling system filled with clean bar and chain oil. Our bar and chain oil is specifically
compounded to provide extra high tackiness and prevent "throw off" even under adverse weather conditions.
Never put used oil or old motor oil in your saw or on your chain. Used motor oil contains metal shavings that
reduces the life of your bar and chain. Lubricating your bar and chain with used motor oil also voids your
warranty.

Guide Bar
How do I know what size guide bar I have?
Guide bars are measured by the actual cutting length when mounted on a saw.
The cutting length is the distance from the front of the saw to the tip of the guide bar, rounded to the nearest

length will provide full coverage and protection.
Precise measurement is an important step in ensuring that you get chaps that are the right size. If chaps are
too short, your legs could be exposed. Chaps that are too long, however, are also unsafe since they could cause
you to trip.
How do I choose chainsaw chaps?
Check to see that the chainsaw chaps comply with safety standards issued by international certifying bodies.
These products have been tested by professionals to ensure that the chaps really do provide protection from
contact with a chainsaw. Chaps are rated by OSHA and ASTM (the American Society for Testing and
