New to saws and the operation of them. Had my 290 for about 8 months now, done some cutting, not a ton of it though. Not sure how often to take it apart and clean it, I usually clean mine after every time I'm doen using it.
Issue is this. Last time I used the saw it seems that the chain oil adjustment had moved, no problem, backed it down a bit to put less oil on the chain, seemed to be running out of oil pretty quick, problem now is I get a nice spray pattern when I point the saw at a piece of wood, but seems to be excessive coming out of the cover and running down onto the bar? Not sure if its getting onto the chain properly or not now. The white/clear what I would call removable guides, do they need to be replaced after awhile? Saw is clean, but just a bit unsure at this point.
