Well, Thats a whole load of info! Thank you all for the help! I'm going to see if i can get some more photos, close ups etc and post them. Thank you once again

Got the chance of a Husqvarna saw but theres no model number, just a serial number. The number is 1006 183. It has a metal brake handle and thats about all I have to go on at this moment in time. Has anyone any idea what model it is? I know its not much to go on

Thanks for the replies, My 630 runs out of oil just before the fuel does. So that sounds ok to me!:cheers:

I am a novice when it cmes to using a chainsaw and was using mine yesterday for firewood. Its a Jonsered 630. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long a tank of chain oil should last when using it constant? Should it last the same time as a tank of fuel?
