How to Adjust the Oiler on a McCulloch Chainsaw. McCulloch chain saws are equipped with automatic oilers and lack the chain oil adjustment screw that many other brands possess. In spite of that fact, you can still take measures to adjust the amount of oil that coats the chain saw chain during use.

Mac 3214 Chainsaw Manual

McCulloch chain saws, like all other chain saws, require continuous lubrication during use to prevent the chain from catching on the wood being cut. Without the proper lubrication, kickback or pull-in of the chain saw blade may occur, putting you at risk for catastrophic injury. McCulloch chain saws are equipped with automatic oilers and lack the chain oil adjustment screw that many other brands possess. In spite of that fact, you can still take measures to adjust the amount of oil that coats the chain saw chain during use.

1

Fill the chain saw chain oil reservoir with the type of oil recommended by McCulloch. Refer to the operator's manual to ascertain which oil is recommended for your model. Avoid adding an excess amount of oil to the container. Drain some of the oil if the tank is already overfilled which you check it. Too little or too much oil in the reservoir can alter the machine's output.

2

Assess the oil output of the chain saw bar oiler to determine whether or not adjustment is necessary. Allow the chain saw to run for 2 to 3 minutes to warm up. Point the tip of the chain saw toward a light-colored surface and hold it about 6 inches away. Increase the throttle, allowing the chain to rotate several times. Stop the chain saw and check the surface for the telltale splatter of oil that proves the lubrication is being applied to the blade.

3

Loosen the chain saw guide bar and remove the chain from it. Wrap the end of a toothpick in a soft cloth and use it to clean out the channel that runs the length of the blade. Cleaning the channel ensures that the space is free for chain oil to flow through and properly lubricate the chain.

Unclog the hole that emits the oil from the automatic oiler to allow the oil to flow freely. Insert the tip of a paper clip that's been straightened into the hole, and work it in and out to ensure the passage is free.

Things You Will Need

  • Chain saw chain oil
  • Light-colored surface
  • Toothpick
  • Soft cloth
  • Paper clip

Tip

  • Check the bar lubrication before each use of the chain saw.

Warning

  • Never use waste oil in a chain saw chain oil reservoir.
