GETTING STARTED
See pages 226-227.
1. Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Wear full eye protection, ear protection, non-slip heavy-
duty gloves, substantial footwear, and protective clothing
at all times while operating the product. Do not operate
the product when barefoot or wearing open sandals.
2. Assemble the product.
WARNING! If any parts are damaged or missing,
do not operate the product until the parts are replaced.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
Place the chain drive links into the bar groove. Position
the chain so that there is a loop at the back of the bar.
The saw chain should face in the direction of chain
rotation. If the chain faces backwards, turn the loop over.
3. Loosen the guide bar locking knob, and remove the
sprocket cover.
4. Hold the chain in position on the bar, and place the loop
around the drive sprocket. Lower the bar so that the
bolts go through the slot in the bar. Replace the sprocket
cover, and turn the guide bar locking knob until nearly
tight.
5. Adjust the chain tension.
Turn the guide bar locking knob counterclockwise to
unlock the chain tension knob. Frequently check the
chain tension while adjusting.
To increase the chain tension, turn the chain tension
knob clockwise.
To reduce the chain tension, turn the chain tension knob
counterclockwise.
NOTE: The chain tension is correct when the gap
between the cutter in the chain and the bar is between 4
and 5.5 mm. Pull the chain in the middle of the lower side
of the bar downwards (away from the bar), and measure
the distance between the bar and the chain cutters.
NOTE: The temperature of the chain increases during
normal operation, causing the chain to stretch. Check
the chain tension frequently and adjust as required. A
chain that is tensioned while warm may be too tight upon
cooling. Make sure that the chain tension is correctly
adjusted as specified in these instructions.
6. Tighten the guide bar locking knob by turning it clockwise.
7. Add chain lubricating oil.
Use only RYOBI chainsaw lubricating oil from an
authorised service centre.
Clear the surface around the oil cap to prevent
contamination. Remove the cap from the oil tank. Pour
the oil into the oil tank, and monitor the oil level gauge.
Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank while filling. Close
the oil tank, and tighten the cap. Wipe off any spillage.

Original Instructions
NOTE: Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw chain
is running without lubricant, the guide bar and the saw chain
can be damaged. Before and while using the chainsaw,
check the oil level in the oil level gauge.
A properly functioning chain and bar lubricating system
normally discharges oil from the chain during use. To check
the functionality of the chain and bar lubricating system,
point the tip of the chain at a light-coloured surface, such
as a newspaper. A distinct line of oil splatter should be
observed after a short time.
8. Install the battery pack.
Insert the battery pack into the product. Make sure that
the latch of the battery pack clicks in place and that the
battery pack is fully seated and securely attached before
beginning operation.
WARNING! Grip both handles with the thumbs and
fi ngers encircling the handles. Ensure that the left hand is
holding the front handle so that the thumb is underneath.
WARNING! Always hold the product with the right hand
on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.
9. Start the product.
Set the chain brake into the run position by grasping the
top of the chain brake lever and pulling towards the front
handle until you hear a click. Pull the trigger release.
Press the switch trigger.
NOTE: To stop the product, engage the chain brake by
rotating the left hand around the front handle. Allow the back
of the hand to push the chain brake lever towards the bar
while the chain is rotating rapidly. Release the switch trigger.
