  If your Oleo-Mac Chainsaw engine doesn't start or shuts off shortly after starting, ensure the switch is in the “I” position. The issue might be: 1. Lack of spark: Check the spark plug for a spark. If there's no spark, try again with a new spark plug (BPMR7A). 2. Flooded engine: Follow the procedure on page 20. If the engine still won't start, repeat the process with a new spark plug.

Why do the bar and chain get hot and smoke on my Oleo-Mac 947 Chainsaw?
- J
  Jessica MartinezAug 7, 2025
  If the bar and chain of your Oleo-Mac Chainsaw heat up and smoke during operation, it could be due to several reasons: 1. The chain oil tank may be empty: Ensure you fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel tank. 2. The chain tension may be too tight: Adjust the chain tension according to the instructions. 3. There may be a malfunction in the lubrication system: Run the chainsaw at full throttle for 15-30 seconds, then stop and check if oil drips from the bar tip. If oil is present, the issue might be a loose chain or a damaged bar. If there is no oil, contact an Authorized Service Center.
