ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
See page 23.
1. Loosen the chain tensioner knob slightly by turning it
counterclockwise.
2. Check the chain tension frequently while adjusting. To
increase the chain tension, turn the chain tensioner
adjustment ring clockwise. To reduce the chain
tension, turn the chain tensioner adjustment ring
counterclockwise.
3. The chain tension is correct when the gap between the
cutter in the chain and the bar is between 3 mm - 4
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.
4. Tighten the chain tensioner knob by turning it clockwise.
ADDING CHAIN LUBRICATING OIL
See page 13.
WARNING
Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw chain is
running without lubricant, guide bar and saw chain can
be damaged. It is therefore essential to check the oil
level in the oil level gauge frequently and every time
before starting to use the chain saw.
1. Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent
contamination.
2. Remove the cap from the oil tank.
3. Pour the oil into the oil tank and monitor the oil level
gauge. Ensure that no dirt enters the oil tank while
filling.
4. Close the oil tank and tighten the cap. Wipe away any
spillage.
5. One full oil tank enables you to use the saw for 9-30
min.
Recommended chain lubricating oil
■ The manufacturer recommends to use only RYOBI
chainsaw lubricating oil. (Available from Bunnings
stores)
INSTALLING BATTERY PACK
See page 13.
1. Place the battery pack in the chain saw. Align raised
ribs on battery pack with grooves in the chain saw’s
battery port.
2. Make sure that the latch on bottom of the battery
pack snaps in place and that battery pack is securely
attached in the chain saw before beginning operation.
HOLDING THE CHAIN SAW
See page 13.
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand at the rear
handle and your left hand at the front handle. Grip both
handles with the thumbs and ngers encircling the handles.
Ensure that your left hand is holding the front handle so
