Start by making sure it's unplugged. Then remove chain, and bar, and clean oil slot in the bar and all of the housing in the area the oil comes out onto the bar. I use carb cleaner (safer than gas) and then empty and clean the oil reserve. Refill with straight 30 weight. Never use car oil like a 10w30 or 5W40! Then prime (pump) and start the saw without chain or bar. You should see some oil squirt out. If not, soak a clean empty oil reserve overnight in carb cleaner and try again.Once the oil path is clean, you should be back in business. If not - see your authorized service center.....LOL
