Lubricate The Sprocket

Perform these maintenance issues.  

Lubricate the Sprocket Tip (EVERY 10 HOURS of USE)

After every 10 hours of use, you should lubricate the sprocket at the end of the guide bar according to your chainsaw’s manufacturer's guidelines. The majority of chainsaws requires a special tool with a heavy gauge needle, grease reservoir, and a plunger handle in order to lubricate the sprocket. Depending on the make and model of chainsaw this tool may have been included, if not these tools can usually be purchased where parts for your chainsaw are sold. You want to inject the grease into the lubrication hole, which is located near the center of the sprocket shaft. When a small amount of grease begins to ooze around the edges of the guide bar near the sprocket, then you have enough lubrication.
