Chainsaw oil is supposed to be edible and safe to breath in like
airline oil.
It gets sprayed about in the air so its not safe to use any old oil.

Screwfix claims this chainsaw oil to be "biodegradable" but the COSHH
sheet shows the base to be a relatively conventional mineral oil

That said, I was also going to suggest looking for a horse owner as long
as it's not too fine (we get through a bale a week of wood chip). I
can't believe the oil content would be any hazard.

a small quantity of oil is not that big a deal really.


I've not noticed weeds or grass taking longer to grow where I have
chainsawn stuff.
