I am a relatively new chain saw owner who has Googled extensively and
read the owner's manual several times. I have a good degree of common
sense, and try to take care, but I am destined to make stupid mistakes
anyway.

You should be pumping the manual bar oiler during all cuts and between cuts.
Every time the gas is filled, the bar oil is filled too. Ensure you can see
the oil flow out into the bar.
