Twisted shank spikes help if your bow-legged

The pool of oil is just the excess from the bar lube. The pump is factory set, used to be adjustable, don't know if it still is. Once you get it into some wood and a bit of dust finds its way into the oil tank it'll soon slow down.

 

I'm with the others on the twisted vs straight shanks. Personal preference. Still bloody uncomfortable after a day with a big saw hanging off your harness.

Cheers mate for clearing that up the oil is adjustable. I've never owned a brand new saw and thought it had a leak.

I'm sure i'll be fine with what i've bought if i don't like them i can always sell them and get some others
