OPERATION
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 6.
Use Ryobi Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is formu-
lated to perform over a wide temperature range
with no dilution required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contam-
inated 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 cutting to keep the chain lubricated.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant 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.
