Does a chainsaw chain need to be lubricated with chain oil?

Chain saw chains do require lubrication with chain oil. Chain oil plays a crucial role in the use of chainsaw chains, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Reduce friction and wear: The chain of the chainsaw generates a large amount of friction during high-speed rotation, which not only accelerates the wear of the chain but may also affect the efficiency of the chainsaw. Chain oil can form a protective film on the surface of the chain, effectively reducing friction between the chain and gears, thereby extending the service life of the chain.
Improving transmission efficiency: Good lubrication can ensure smoother chain transmission, reduce resistance caused by friction, and thus improve the transmission efficiency of the chainsaw.
Rust and Waterproof: Chain oil also has certain rust and waterproof functions, which can prevent the chain from being damaged due to moisture or corrosion. This is particularly important for chainsaws working outdoors or in humid environments.
Keep clean: Chain oil also has certain anti adhesion properties, which can prevent impurities such as resin, sap, and dust from adhering to the chain, keeping the chain clean and running normally.
To ensure sufficient lubrication of the chainsaw chain, users should regularly apply an appropriate amount of chain oil to the chain. Before applying, the dirt and grease on the surface of the chain should be cleaned to ensure that the chain oil can fully exert its lubricating effect. At the same time, users should also pay attention to selecting chain oil suitable for chainsaw chains and follow the manufacturer's recommendations and instructions in the manual for use.
