"Today we are going to learn how to use and maintain a chainsaw. Now we are going to lubricate the bar. The bar is the thing that the chain runs on and on the larger bars, the end has a sprocket and it will need lubricating. So we will use this grease gun. It is a different type of pumps. When you push this down, it actually pumps out the end and what we are going to do is lubricate the sprocket on the end. So what we do is push it in here and we pump it and we pump it until we see the grease coming out the edge. That will make the chainsaw run better. You will get more power out of it. It is very important that every time you add gasoline and you add the lubricant oil for your chain, you will also lubricate the sprocket at the end of the bar. You should just shoot a couple of squirts in and you are all set to go."
