Do I have to oil it?

The sword is supposed to have a lot of carbon content in the steel. I always put a light coat of oil on mine when I'm not using it to keep it from rusting.

It was oiled when I got it and it's still a little greasy after a couple of months. I'm not using it for anything but to retain its carbon steel composition, I would grease it up every few months.

Yes you do! The blade is made of carbon steel and it will rust over time if it's not oiled. The amount of maintenance required depends on what you're doing with the sword. If you cut through plastic bottles filled with water or any type of fruit (especially citrus) you MUST clean, dry and oil the blade after. Any type of gun-oil will work, you don't need to hunt down any "special" oil, but just make sure not to over-oil the blade. One or two passes with an oiled rag should keep your blade rust-free for many years.

It is low carbon steel, so it will rust if you expose it to moisture. It comes with a thin coat of oil that keeps it protected fine, but if you use it you probably should oil it. (decorative: no you don't have to oil it) (Use it in some unspecified manner: yes, oil it.)

yes Cindy. All swords of this kind need to be oiled every few months depending on your climate. It comes heavily oiled, but good sword care requires oiling.

No oil. Mine doesn't require any oil to operate......just to store it in Winter....very important to Winterize the pump or freezing will damage it if water is left in the pump mechanism.

Not really but depends how far the edge goes, if is the factory you don't. I already expose like a 1/2 inch in mine so i like to oil it after every use even thought i've it etched with vinegar and mustard previously.

yes, no question. Just let it burn for some hours after setting it up to burn off the oils used in manufacture. Just be careful. Regard the other posts -

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts

NO! This tool DOES require oiling in order to lubricate the O-rings as explained in the Owners Manual and should be run at no more than 85PSI at the tool.

Nope. These are actually easier to manipulate than the old style. They don't need oil, but I put a little white grease on them anyway. They're very well designed.

Does the oil have to be drained out and replaced periodically? Is it hot to the touch?

No. You don't have to oil this pump. It is simply plug n play - so to speak. Drop the old one off, line up the key on the shaft with the slot on the new one. Press on and align the bolt holes. Bolt together. Warning - motor is not attached to the power washer deck while the pump is off. It will fall off if jostled.

Now that has me wondering now. I didnt know it needed oiled. I just looked at my manual. My guess is, take the tray off, turn it over, clean off the excess tobacco with warm water, dry it off and oil all the moving parts. Im just going to spray it with pam cooking spray.

You really don't need to oil it but the bottom is rubber and comes off to give you access to the inside.

won't hurt, but most pumps come prelubed. just don't run it without water ever and oil.

It needs to be oiled for 2 weeks. Mine warped after a month use when I washed it once.

My husband says yes. However, he adds that you might want to cover your hands with gloves after you use the oil, because they will be greasy.

Hi, no it doesn't need oil. It's a paper media filter. If you got a K&N; aftermarket filter that is cotton filter media, then yes, you would need oil.

if you know how to tear one of these apart yes you can oil the motor.i've have been doing it foe years . its just part of maintaing one of these units but really they just want you to buy another one. when you hear the moter start to make noise , that is the time to do so . they need to be oiled i would say depending on use at loeast 2-3 time a winter but if the hearter isn't giving you any problems the don't fix what isn't broken. like i said your first warning sign is the motor making noise. i hope that this was help full....george
