Many thanks to everyone who responded.

The consensus:
-
Gotta use oil, no oil will kill the bar and blade in a hurry
-chainsaw oil is thicker than motor oil, works best, but any oil will do 
the job
-watch yourself with these things,  trees grow slowly, toes not at all.
-hearing and eye protection is a must.  Nothing worse than running directly 
into the path of a tree you are falling because you have wood chips in your 
eye.
-squirting a bit of oil directly on the chain can be more effective since 
the built in auto oilers sometimes fail
-the uses for the saw will arrive once you have one

etc.

again, thanks.
