Oh you will know the oiler is working. If you put the oil in and run the saw a few times, shut it off, and feel the bar and chain, you will feel the oil. YOu may also smell the oil as it is being liberated on to the chain and bar while running. I'd still ask for a manual just so you have the specs should you need plugs etc. or even the proper fuel mix. On Jun 6, 2009, at 7:43 PM, Dale Leavens wrote:
