This document describes the Ryobi R18CHS20 and R18CHS22 cordless chainsaws, designed for outdoor use in domestic applications. These chainsaws are intended for cutting wood only, specifically branches, trunks, logs, and beams with a diameter determined by the guide bar's cutting length. They are not suitable for professional tree services or cutting metal, plastic, masonry, or non-wood building materials. The product requires two-handed operation at all times for adequate control and safety.
The Ryobi cordless chainsaw is a battery-operated power tool designed for cutting wood. It features a guide bar and a saw chain that rotates to perform cuts. The product is activated by a switch trigger and includes safety features such as a front hand guard, a chain tensioning screw for adjustment, and a sprocket cover. An integral bumper spike can be used as a pivot point to steady the chainsaw during cutting. The chainsaw is powered by an 18V battery pack, which is detachable.
