This product will accept Ryobi One+ 18 V lithium-ion
battery packs and Ryobi One+ 18 V nickel-cadmium battery
packs.
For complete charging instructions, refer to the Operator’s
Manual for the battery packs and chargers listed in the
General Safety Rules.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6.
Place the battery pack in your chain saw. Align raised
rib on battery pack with groove in chain saw’s battery
port.
Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in chain
saw before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 6.
Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both
sides to release the battery pack from the chain saw.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in your chain saw, be sure
raised rib on battery pack aligns with groove in chain
saw's battery port and latches snap in place properly.
Improper assembly of battery pack can cause damage
to internal components.
CAUTION:
Remove battery pack from unit. Fill oil tank with Ryobi
Bar and Chain Lubricant before starting the chain saw.
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain.
CHAIN OIL SYSTEM
See Figure 7.
Use Ryobi Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is formulated to
perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution
required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.
Check and fill the oil tank when battery is recharged, or
as needed.
Depress the oil tank cap several times to pump the oil to
the chain before starting the saw.
Depress the oil tank cap every 20-30 seconds while cut-
ting to keep the chain lubricated.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not
in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each
use. When storing the unit for a long period of time (three
months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this
will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
