I have an electric McCulloch pole chain saw being delivered tomorrow. I
have bar oil for a gas chain saw. Can it be used in an electric chain saw
or is there a different (viscosity) bar oil for electrics?


Thanks to all responding. I'll use the bar oil I have.
To LSMFT. I forgot where I read it ( it could have been here) but
regarding the bar oil leaking out of the saw when stored, the remedy is to
store the saw, with the bar end up, to keep the oil from leaking onto the
blade, shelf, and floor.
I haven't done it yet, my chain saw died a couple of years ago and I
haven't needed a saw until this storm. I bought the pole saw for the tree
branches that are split and hanging down onto my shed, walk, and driveway.
I'll wait until the snow melts down to a foot or less to get a gas chain
saw for those branches and downed trees in the back yard that are too far
from electric outlets and are not posing any current interference with
moving around.

A lot of saws have a hole drilled in the end of the bar that the saw can be
hung from. If not, drill one, just make sure you don't hit the chain
roller. That will put the oil tank in the down position, and the hole in
the up position. Makes it handy to store and take up less space, too.
