Steve Worcester said:Suffolk machinery recommends that blades under 3/4" get lubricated with a mixture of chainsaw bar oil and kerosene. This keeps the blade runnig cooler and help keep the gunk off the teeth.
Another item to consider is, are you using the right blade?

3/8"/4 tooth is rather small, but depending on the size of the saw (wheel size) you have and the depth of cut. Green wood under 6" thick you would probably be OK.Woodtrnr said:I'm using a 3/8" blade with 4 hook teeth/inch.
