What is your cleaning and maintenance routine for your chainsaw? (cover, cutting)

[hipastore]

I'm curious whether the level of cleaning and maintenance. I'm also wondering whether too much cleaning and maintenance can be bad for a saw (constantly disassembling the powerhead, using compressed air on the air filter, exposing the carburetor mouth, constantly greasing the needle bearing, daily use of cleaning agents like Citrol or Simple Green, etc.)

After a normal day of cutting, what daily cleaning and maintenance tasks are you doing for your saw?

After a week of work what deep cleaning and maintenance tasks are you doing for your saw?

What are your once or twice or three times a year cleaning and maintenance tasks?

I have a Stihl farmboss and an Ego electric.

The Stihl-
After (or before) a daily use.
1. Remove air cleaner assembly and brush off heavy debris. Spray with starting fluid and then air compressor dry.
2. Remove chain sprocket cover, remove chain and clean any debris around the sprocket. I use a V shaped dual head steel brush.
3. Check the chain oil lube filter and ensure it is not clogged.
4. Remove the plug and brush it with the V dual brush to clean. Spray with starter fluid to remove deposits.
5. Visually inspect carb intake for any debris
6. Reinstall parts, attach chain and then sharpen chain (manually)

For the Ego-
Steps 2, 3, and 6. Everything else not necessary.

Maintenance regimens are found in the owners manual.

I had a 14” McCullough from 1974-2021, and all I ever did was clean the air filter after every long use, changed the chain 4-5 times and the bar once. When done I would always run it dry so no problems with bad gas or carb clogging. When I finally replaced it the pull start rope broke, and the rings were worn so that it was smoking.

Return it to the rental place, LOL.

I usually run a flat toothpick or similar in the groove on the bar. I also flip the bar over every time I take off the chain.
