Thank you so much!

Glad I could help

Thanks, I'm glad video helped.

You are quite welcome. Thank you.

They probably both came off the same assembly line in china. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad I could help.

Well I had a result.. I hadn't really looked at it since getting it, but the chain looked very worn but clearly there has been oil on it in the past, but that could have been from new. I took the bar off and ran it to see if any oil came from the hole. After 30 seconds of running it appeared. The slot in the bar seemed very bunged up so I cleaned it all out, and decided to give it a new chain (£9.99) Result seeings as I was given it.

These are easy to get in and out, they just pop in.

Thanks for the info.

Glad it helped

Thank you for the comment and the information.

You are very welcome.

@@roberta.edinger9405 Thank you Robert

Thank you so much!

I was thinking the same thing.He seemed to move along very quickly with his troubleshooting,effortlessly actually,little time was needed to access problems and rectify,unless of course he had actually been in one of these before.(NOT saying he did-some folks appear to do a vid run through) In another life,I supervised a small plastics industrial maintenance dept.If he also read mech,and elect,maybe hydr prints,and had made it past HR to me for an interview,I would have hired him on the spot. I bought one,and opened it up earlier tonight to look at adding an extension to the pole before I even put the bar on it. Then it hit me to check youtube to see if anyone else had made one,and landed here.I inspected my pump because of this vid,the gear engagement pivot was a little tight(but no glue),so I backed off the screws a hair as suggested,smeared the grease to where it would actually do some good.Nice firm engagement now.Thanks! -edit for spelling 4/9/20

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad the video helped.

I'm sorry to hear they are still having problems, but I'm glad the video helped.

I just fixed mine today had just bought it and thanks to your video I was able to fix it. To much glue in wrong place not letting oiler rotate.

Yes I think you are right. Thanks for watching

Thanks!

Very helpful information. Thank you for sharing.

I'm glad I could help. Good luck.

I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for letting me know.

Cool! I'm glad I could help.

Thanks, I'm glad the video helped. Also thanks for the information.

Thinking the same thing

good luck

It is possible the chain may have gotten too hot during use or sharpening, that will cause it not to stay sharp. I'm not sure about the longer bar but it's worth a try. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.

If you didn't get it working, please read my update comment and see if perhaps yours has the same issue.

Thanks!

*Well alrighty then! UPDATE!* ROFL OMFG these Chinese factories just don't care about their products and do the stupidest things that just cause problems. So the area where the oil comes out, on mine, is slightly different. The hole where the oil comes out is tiny, like a pinhole. Between the bar and the plastic, where the bar slides into (just like on yours) there's a very thin, "rubber" (not really rubber) "gasket!". It has the cutouts for the guide bold, slide area and the oil channel itself. So I took that all off and just did a test run like you did at the end..... THE OIL STARTED COMING OUT as it should!!! I looked at the gasket and the problem became clear. As did the stupidity of the designer! The part of the gasket that is over the oil "channel" had a little piece that crossed the channel to hold the gasket's 2 sides in place (hard to explain really). But where did they put this little support piece, you ask? RIGHT OVER THE F'K'N'N' oil outlet hole!!! This little piece of gasket was bent down a bit and was just blocking the hole! I tried to cut into that, but this material is so thing, that I couldn't get a cut without taking it up to the lab and do it under the microscope. So I just tore the danged thing off. LOL I put it back on, put the chain on the bar, bar in its place and put on the tightening knob (that's the other difference). I made sure that the bar and chain were dry and tested it over a piece of white paper. WHALAH! It works!!! I can't imagine how many people return these things due to such poor quality control at the factory. I know that this got long winded, but I figure, with these new ones, I probably am not the only one with this issue. So I figured, good detail to help the next victim... I mean, customer who buys one. LOL

I just tore mine down and put it back together. Mine didn't have the glue but it had a spring inside the oil line to keep it from kinking. I took the spring out and had to cut the line a little shorter so it wouldn't kink without the spring. It oils better now. One thing I would add is there are 2 case Philips screws that are bigger. The one that is closest to where the handle goes into the motor case and the one straight inline with it closer to the bar. You will see the difference once you look. I didn't notice the bigger screws until I went to put it back together. Maybe older saws the bolts are all the same. I bought mine 7/15/2022.

Good idea

thanks a lot, good luck.

Thanks!!!

Great idea!

Glad to help. Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you for the comment Jeff!

@@roberta.edinger9405 I have the exact same model, only it was made or assembled in Australia and is called an 'Ozito'. The plastic tubes were split at the tank and the pump. The saw gave up pumping oil soon after I got it, or maybe it never pumped any oil. Now I am in the hunt for new plastic tubes.

Awesome!

Thanks for that info. Good luck.

gracias

+Pro1er Yes it is well built and at $67 the price is right to.

Thanks!

Thank you Robert Kline.

Thanks for the comment.

Well I did get it fixed,one line was disconnected and other line had hole in it.I replaced both lines,now oil pumps like it should.Thanks again!!

Cool, I'm glad you got it fixed!

Glad to hear that!

Thanks!

Thanks Cory!

+jusb1066 Wow I had no idea. Thanks.

Great Vid. Mine did the same thing. There is such a thing as a Metric Phillips it's also called a JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) Crosspoint. They are very handy for working on metric motorcycles like Hondas. See Vessel Megadora brand...you will wonder how you did without.

That sucks. You could try Craigslist, other than that, you might be out of luck.

Maybe try PB B'laster.

@@roberta.edinger9405 Ordered the new bar, waited a month, didnt help. Went to Lowes, hot the new chain, problem solved! Should have taken your advice and started with the chain!

Glad I could help.

Good luck

We gotta do what we gotta do.

Starts at 14:20

Glad I didn't comment before reading this...Great Video

I did.

Thanks for the information Richie.

I have used bar and chain oil after seeing the oil come out through the hole. It worked fine but this last Tim I was cutting thick Eugenia branches and saw sparks. It did run for a short time, then stopped, guessing the motor burned?

I would think the Harbor Freight brushes would be compatible since it seems that the HF pole saw is made by Sun Joe. But unfortunately I don't know where to get the brushes.

Thanks Justin

Motor oil will work

The oil shouldn't have any thing to do with the chain tension. There is a small flat blade screwdriver tension adjustment on the front of the body. You can adjust that after you loosen up the bar nut. I hope this helps, good luck Nathan.

Is yours not pumping oil?

Robert A. Edinger : it’s pumping now. However, it seems to not get on the bar. W/o the bar, it pumps.

Maybe try model airplane fuel tubing. it is very flexible and will stretch to fit.

Thanks for the info Red Woods.

What was the shape of the seal?

+Love2boat92 apparently some paint thinner can help you in a pinch when your saw oil is too thick. ...i'm having same issue with my saw

Hayes Myers Wonder how that would be on the seals in it?

+Love2boat92 I was told to avoid using gas..probably for that reason. Paint thinner is used to reduce oil based products. My chainsaw guys said it was an option. There could be seal issues. if so i guess i'll be looking up o-rings etc one day. That being said, using a thinner weight oil is key. I suspect most pruners do their work in warmer weather and its a non-issue. i have stihl medium weight ... and it isn't flowing well. will put more of the thinner in this weekend and play with the work done in this video to see what is really gong on. haven't run it without the chain/cover on it to see if it flows well. love the attachment though (goes on my troy-bilt trimmer head)...i'm taking down 1/2" to 3"-4" poplars grwoing in my drainage ditch. works great...and didn't spend 700 bux on the Stihl 130 brushcutter. (Canadian dollars mind you lol).

Hayes Myers That's a good point. We really like our trimmer from harbor freight. Its not something that gets used everyday but when we need it, it sure is really nice to have. I've buried the bar in a tree limb before and it didn't really have any problems. Stihl makes some nice stuff but it's difficult to justify the cost for something that isn't going to be used all the time.

Yes the lighter weight oil will certainly help.

The cap on my Remington Pole Saw lost its cap too and my comical hunt to find another scored one from junk plastic bottle from a thrift store. Before then I used a wooden cork either wine bottle or a chemistry lab type rubber one. Year later I found the original cap. It is like the designers purposely used an oddball size. I

Still without one myself but will try to find another cap that might fit. Alternatively, I plan to heat up a piece of plastic like a pharmacy/pill bottle or some other kind with my heat gun to shrink around the threads. After that... a wine bottle cork I guess... One might expect to be able to order a real cap from a real company that simply brands these china (or whatever) manufactured things.

Sorry to hear that.

I believe this may be what you looking for amzn.to/2VwDvZ4

@@roberta.edinger9405 Thank you so much!!!

I'm glad I could help.

Unfortunately, I don't know where you can spare parts for this. Sorry.

Still works.

Yep, I'm wanting to know as well.

Try surgical tubing

so I'll wish I could help you with this one but unfortunately I can't.

Contact Black & Decker. They make the same saw under their name. I’m guessing they can get you parts easier than HF.

KENNETH MERCADO It's made in China and made to be thrown in the trash can! There are no spare parts!

Thanks

Here you go. amzn.to/2OwXS3I
