How to Repair a Stihl Chainsaw Bar Oiler

Stihl is a leading name in power tools, particularly its line of chain saws. A chain saw is a saw with a chain with sharp teeth that sits astride a bar. One component on your chain saw that helps it to run efficiently is its oiler.The oiler automatically feeds oil to your saw blade in intervals via a pump. If your oiler stops working, your blade will not work as effectively.
