OPERATION
For your safety, study this entire manual before operating
the saw. Pay particular attention to the precautions and
instructions listed in the operator’s manual.
WARNING
The warnings and instructions in this section of
the operator’s manual are for your safety and to
prevent serious personal injury.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHAINSAW SAFETY
DEVICES
SAFE-T-TIP® ANTI-KICK-BACK NOSE GUARD (Fig. 2)
The SAFE-T-TIP® (A) prevents kick-back because it
covers the tip of the bar where rotational kick-back is
generated. Inexperienced persons should never attempt
to cut when the SAFE-T-TIP® has been removed from the
bar tip. Users such as professional loggers who need to
draw the tip through the cut, make boring cuts, or cut logs
bigger than the bar length, should reinstall the
SAFE-T-TIP® as soon as those cuts are complete.
When cutting without the SAFE-T-TIP®, the user must
use proper techniques as shown in the manual to avoid
kick-back.
NOTE: Refer to “Maintenance” later in this manual for
instructions on reinstalling the SAFE-T-TIP® nose guard.
LOW KICK-BACK SAW CHAIN
Alow-kick-back saw chain is a chain which has met the
kickback performance requirements.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimise the force of a kick-back reaction by preventing the
cutters from digging in too deeply at the kick-back zone.
Only use replacement chain that is equivalent to the original
chain or has been certified as a low kick-back chain.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low
kickback qualities and extra caution is required.
GUIDE BARS
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have
somewhat lower kick-back potentials.
When making a replacement, be sure to order one of the
Ryobi bars listed for your saw in this operator’s manual.
The proper size SAFE-T-TIP® nose guard comes
installed on the bar. Use only guide bars that have a
provision for mounting the SAFE-T-TIP®.
CHAIN BRAKE (Fig. 3)
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is
pushed towards the bar, the chain should stop
immediately. A chain brake does not prevent kick-back.
The chain brake should be cleaned and tested daily.
Refer to “Operation” later in this manual for additional
information.

(B) BRAKE POSITION
WARNING
Even with daily cleaning of the mechanism, the
dependability of a chain brake to perform under
field conditions cannot be certified. Keep the
SAFE-T-TIP® nose guard on the saw guide bar
and use proper cutting techniques.
