The oil pump is an essential component of a chainsaw's lubrication system. It continuously supplies chain oil to the guide bar and saw chain, reducing friction, minimizing wear and preventing overheating during cutting operations. Without a properly functioning oil pump, the chain can wear prematurely, the guide bar may become damaged, and the overall performance of the chainsaw will decline.

At Probois Machinoutils, we offer a wide range of oil pumps, chain lubrication pumps, and related replacement parts for Scheppach, Woodstar, and selected Parkside chainsaws manufactured by Scheppach. Our quality replacement parts help restore proper lubrication and extend the service life of your chainsaw.

What is an oil pump used for on a chainsaw?

The oil pump automatically delivers chain oil to the guide bar and saw chain while the chainsaw is operating.

It is designed to:

• continuously lubricate the saw chain;

• supply oil to the guide bar;

• reduce friction between the chain and guide bar;

• minimize wear on cutting components;

• prevent overheating during heavy-duty cutting;

• ensure smooth, efficient and safe cutting performance.

A properly functioning oil pump plays a vital role in maintaining your chainsaw's cutting performance and durability.

When should an oil pump be replaced?

The oil pump operates every time the chainsaw is used and can eventually wear out over time.

Replacement is recommended when:

• the chain is no longer receiving enough oil;

• the guide bar remains dry even though the oil tank is full;

• no oil is visible while the chain is rotating;

• the pump is leaking;

• the internal mechanism is worn or damaged;

• the oil flow becomes weak or inconsistent.

A faulty oil pump can quickly lead to severe wear of the entire cutting system.

Common causes of wear

Several factors can cause an oil pump to fail.

The most common causes include:

• normal wear of the internal gears;

• contamination of the lubrication system;

• dirt or debris inside the oil tank;

• using unsuitable chain oil;

• insufficient maintenance;

• prolonged operation with a low oil level.

Regular cleaning of the lubrication system and using high-quality chain oil will help extend the life of the oil pump.

Symptoms of a faulty oil pump

Several warning signs indicate that the oil pump may be worn or damaged.

The most common symptoms include:

• a dry chain during operation;

• an unusually hot guide bar;

• premature chain wear;

• smoke or excessive heat while cutting;

• unusually low oil consumption;

• no oil being thrown from the chain while it is running.

Replacing a faulty oil pump promptly helps prevent more expensive repairs and protects the entire cutting system.
