How to Adjust the Auto Oiler on Husky Chainsaws

Husky chainsaws are manufactured by Husqvarna, which produces landscaping products, including lawnmowers, trimmers, tractors, blowers and chainsaws. Adjusting a chainsaw's chain is an important part of safe operation. If the chain overheats and breaks, it can injure the operator. The saw has an automatic oilier, which constantly oils the chain keeping it running smoothy. You may need to adjust the oil pump's rate if you are changing the chainsaw's bar to a longer or shorter unit.
