FAQs
Is this oil suitable for all types of chainsaws?
Yes, this Handy Chainsaw Chain Oil is designed to be suitable for all makes and models of chainsaws.
How often should I refill the chain oil reservoir?
This depends on your chainsaw's oiler setting and how frequently you use the saw. It's best practice to check the oil level before each significant use and refill as needed to ensure continuous lubrication.
Can I use motor oil instead of chain oil?
It is not recommended. Specialized chain oil, like this Handy product, has anti-fling properties and the correct viscosity to lubricate the chain and bar effectively without causing excessive mess or wear.
What does 'anti-fling' mean?
'Anti-fling' means the oil is formulated to adhere to the fast-moving chain and bar, reducing the amount of oil that is thrown off due to centrifugal force. This ensures better lubrication where it's needed and less mess.
How should I store the 5-litre container?
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
Will this oil help my chain last longer?
Yes, by providing consistent lubrication and protection against wear and tear, this high-grade chain oil helps to extend the lifespan of your chainsaw's chain and bar.
Troubleshooting
Chain appears dry during operation
Check the chain oil reservoir level and refill if necessary. Ensure the oiler port is not blocked and that the oil is flowing correctly. Clean the oiler groove on the bar if debris is present.
Excessive oil fling from the chain
While designed to minimize fling, very high chain speeds or improper tension can contribute. Ensure your chain tension is correct and that the oil viscosity is suitable for the ambient temperature. Clean any excess oil from the bar and chain guard.
Oil is excessively thick or thin
Ensure the oil is stored within recommended temperature ranges. Extreme cold can thicken the oil, while extreme heat can thin it. If contamination is suspected, drain and refill the reservoir.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: This Handy Chainsaw Chain Oil is formulated to be suitable for all makes of chainsaw. Ensure your chainsaw's oil reservoir is clean before refilling.
Setup: Simply fill the dedicated chain oil reservoir on your chainsaw with this product. Most chainsaws have an automatic oiling system that dispenses the oil to the chain and bar as you cut. Consult your chainsaw's manual for specific filling instructions and recommended oil levels.
Care: Store the oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent contamination. Regularly inspect your chainsaw's chain and bar for proper lubrication; if the chain appears dry, check the oil reservoir level and the oiler mechanism. Clean any spills immediately with an absorbent cloth.
