Which of the following is a weekly inspection item?

• A. Check proper chain lubrication
• B. Run idle for 3-5 mins then full throttle
• C. Normal Daily visual inspection
• D. Visual Overview

Answer: (A)

Maintenance schedules differentiate tasks you do every day from those you plan for on a longer cycle. Checking proper chain lubrication fits as a weekly inspection item because it verifies that the lubrication system is actually delivering oil to the chain, that the oil reservoir has enough oil, and that the oil line isn’t blocked. This is a more thorough check than a quick daily glance and helps prevent excessive chain wear and overheating.

The other options are not weekly inspections: running the saw at idle followed by full throttle is a startup/test procedure, not an inspection; a normal daily visual inspection is something you do every day; and a vague visual overview doesn’t specify a concrete maintenance task.
