If you are reading this after that the links probably wont work

do you rekeon its an hydraulic oil fire

Looks that way, there isn't a lot else it could be

How on earth do you get a hydraulic oil fire?. I suppose overworking the machine gets the oil hot but there is not a lot of oxygen other than some in the reservoir to promote a fire. Asking as I have a Jappa 700 circular blade and don't want the same thing to happen.

Perhaps a burst hose dumped oil onto the chain bar, that would do it. If thats the case thats another plus point for a circular blade.

Mine did same. Although the sawdust underneath caught alight...

Mine looks lot worse than that though. Only thing recognisable and of any use is out feed conveyor

Pretty simple when you think about it, the fire is centred on the bar so bar lube, saw dust and a spark.

Might be a repossession!!! That someone didn't want to go!! Lizard lick style!!!

Remind me of this when I am looking to replace my JAPA 700 and am tempted by a chainsaw machine !!.

How can a chain bar set fire to hydraulic oil. The chain bar is being lubricated by oil anyway. If someone has forgotten to put the oil on then its operator error.
