- Apply a few drops of oil to the end of a clean rag and wipe it along the length of the blade, being careful not to touch the sharp edge
- Turn the saw over and repeat this process on the other side of the blade

How Do You Oil a Craftsman Electric Pole Saw?
If you have a Craftsman electric pole saw, you know that it’s a great tool for trimming branches and cutting down small trees. But like any piece of machinery, it needs to be properly maintained in order to function properly and last a long time. One important part of maintenance is oiling the saw.
Here’s how to do it: First, make sure that your saw is unplugged and the battery is removed. Next, locate the oil port on the side of the motor housing.
It will have a small cap that says “oil” or “lubricate.” Using a cloth or paper towel, wipe away any dirt or debris from around the port. Now, using either SAE 30 weight oil or bar and chain oil, insert the spout of the bottle into the port and squeeze gently until some oil starts to come out.
You want to fill the reservoir until oil starts to drip out of the overflow port (located just above the fill port). Once this happens, stop adding oil and replace the cap on the fill port. That’s it!
You’ve now successfully added oil to your Craftsman electric pole saw. Remember to do this every time before you use your saw, and your saw will thank you by giving you years of trouble-free service.
How Do You Lubricate a Pole Saw?
If you have ever used a pole saw, you know that they can be tricky to keep lubricated. The good news is, there are some things you can do to make sure your pole saw stays lubricated and in good working condition. Here are a few tips on how to lubricate a pole saw:
- Use the right type of oil: You should only use lightweight oil on your pole saw. This type of oil will help keep the chainsaw from gumming up and will also make it easier for the chain to move around the bar.
- Apply oil regularly: It’s important to apply oil to your pole saw on a regular basis – especially if you use it frequently. A good rule of thumb is to apply oil after every 5-10 uses.
- Clean before you lubricate: Before you apply any new oil to your pole saw, be sure to clean off any old residue that might be on the chain or bar. This will help ensure that the new oil is properly absorbed into the metal parts.
- Be generous with the amount of oil: When applying oil to your pole saw, be generous with it – don’t skimp! You want there to be a decent amount of oil on both the chain and bar so that it can work its way into all of the nooks and crannies and prevent rusting or other damage down the line.
Does a Pole Saw Need Oil?
If you’re wondering whether or not a pole saw needs oil, the answer is yes! Just like any other type of saw, a pole saw needs oil to keep its engine running smoothly. The amount and type of oil that you’ll need will vary depending on the make and model of your pole saw, so be sure to check your owner’s manual for specific instructions.
What Kind of Oil Does a Craftsman Pole Saw Take?
If you’re looking to do some light pruning or trimming, a Craftsman pole saw is a great tool to have on hand. But what kind of oil does it take?
The answer may surprise you – most Craftsman pole saws actually use regular motor oil, the same kind that goes in your car.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when filling up your saw.
First, make sure you’re using fresh oil – if it’s been sitting around for a while, it won’t lubricate as well and could cause damage to your saw. Second, don’t overfill – just add enough so that the level reaches the “full” mark on the dipstick.
And finally, be sure to dispose of any used oil properly – don’t just pour it down the drain!
With these tips in mind, filling up your Craftsman pole saw with oil should be a breeze.
