Most chain saws have a reservoir that you fill with the bar/chain oil before you start. Check the level every 20-30 minutes while you are working, if you are using the saw constantly. The reservoir must have oil in it at all times while the saw is being used.

Yep. You can run it without the bar and everything. It may leak bar oil though as most pump oil as the motor runs to lube the chain. It may have a tendency to rev higher though so don't squeeze the throttle too much.
