WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energis-
ing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES
4 - English
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or
a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water.
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery
may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power tool, use only iden-
tical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
5 - English
Keep all parts of the body away from the
saw chain when the chain saw is operating.
Before you start the chain saw, make sure
the saw chain is not contacting anything. A
moment of inattention while operating chain
saws may cause entanglement of your clothing
or body with the saw chain.
Always hold the chain saw with your right
hand on the rear handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain saw with a
reversed hand configuration increases the risk
of personal injury and should never be done.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring. Saw chains contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Wear safety glasses and hearing protec-
tion. Further protective equipment for head,
hands, legs and feet is recommended.
Adequate protective clothing will reduce per-
sonal injury by flying debris or accidental con-
tact with the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree. Opera-
tion of a chain saw while up in a tree may result
in personal injury.
Always keep proper footing and operate
the chain saw only when standing on fixed,
secure and level surface. Slippery or unstable
surfaces such as ladders may cause a loss of
balance or control of the chain saw.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back. When the tension in the
wood fibres is released the spring loaded limb
may strike the operator and/or throw the chain
saw out of control.
Use extreme caution when cutting brush and
saplings. The slender material may catch the
saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
Carry the chain saw by the front handle with
the chain saw switched off and away from
your body. When transporting or storing the
chain saw always fit the guide bar cover.
Proper handling of the chain saw will reduce the
likelihood of accidental contact with the moving
saw chain.
Follow instructions for lubricating, chain ten-
sioning and changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may either break
or increase the chance for kickback.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil
and grease. Greasy, oily handles are slippery
causing loss of control.
Cut wood only. Do not use chain saw for
purposes not intended. For example: do not
use chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials. Use of the
chain saw for operations different than intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
CAUSES AND OPERATOR
PREVENTION OF KICKBACK
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when the wood
closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a sudden
reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back
towards the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide
bar may push the guide bar rapidly back towards
the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause you to lose
control of the saw which could result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the
safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw
user, you should take several steps to keep your
cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below:
Maintain a firm grip, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles, with both
hands on the saw and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
Kickback forces can be controlled by the opera-
tor, if proper precautions are taken. Do not let
go of the chain saw.
Do not overreach and do not cut above shoul-
der height. This helps prevent unintended tip
contact and enables better control of the chain
saw in unexpected situations.
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
6 - English
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use the chain saw in damp or wet loca-
tions.
Always be aware of extension cord while oper-
ating chain saw. Take precautions to avoid
tripping over cord. Keep cord away from chain
and operator at all times. Never carry saw by
the cord or pull it to disconnect from receptacle.
Keep cord from oil and sharp edges.
Stay alert and pay attention to what you are
doing. Use common sense when using this unit.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw
chain when the unit is running.
Never let anyone use your chain saw who has
not received adequate instructions in its proper
use. This applies to rentals as well as privately
owned saws.
Before you start the unit, make sure the saw
chain is not contacting any object.
Stop the chain saw before setting it down.
To avoid accidental starting, never carry the unit
with your finger on the switch trigger.
Maintain the unit with care. Keep the cutting
edge sharp and clean for best performance and
to reduce the risk of injury. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories.
Do not operate a chain saw with one hand! Use
a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles. Serious injury to the opera-
tor, helpers, bystanders, or any combination
of these persons may result from one-handed
operation. A chain saw is intended for two-
handed use.
Guard against electric shock - Avoid body con-
tact with grounded surfaces such as metal pipes
and wire fences. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Chain should slow to a
stop when the switch trigger is released. If the
chain continues to turn after the switch trigger
has been released, have the unit serviced by an
authorized service center.
Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment
of moving parts, binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts, mounting, and any other condi-
tions that may affect its operation. A guard or
Only use replacement bars and chains
specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height can lead to
increased kickback.
 Do not start cutting until you have a clear work
area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path
from the falling tree. Cluttered areas invite acci-
dents.
Keep ALL children, bystanders, visitors, and
animals out of the work area while starting or
cutting with the chain saw. Do not let visitors
contact chain saw or extension cord.
Do not operate chain saw in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Chain saws create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Dress Properly - Wear snug fitting clothing.
Always wear heavy, long pants, long sleeves,
overalls, jeans or chaps made of cut resistant
material or ones that contain cut resistant
inserts. Wear non-slip safety footwear. Wear
non-slip heavy duty gloves to improve your
grip and to protect your hands. Do not wear
jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could
be drawn into the motor or catch the chain or
underbrush. Secure hair so it is above shoulder
level. Wear hearing and head protection.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator
fatigue, which could lead to heat stroke. Dur-
ing weather that is hot and humid, heavy work
should be scheduled for early morning or late
afternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well as
head and hearing protection when operating
this equipment.
Always be aware of what you are doing when
using the chain saw. Use common sense. Do
not operate the chain saw when you are tired,
ill, or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or
medication.
Do not expose the chain saw to rain.
7 - English
CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in
this manual.
All chain saw service, other than the items listed
in the operation and maintenance sections,
should be performed by an authorized service
center.
Always maintain a proper stance.
Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it
on and off. Have defective switch replaced by
an authorized service center.
Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
Disconnect chain saw from power supply when
not in use, before servicing, and when making
adjustments and changing attachments, such
as saw chain and guard.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder,
rooftop, scaffold, or other unstable support; this
is extremely dangerous.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the
job being performed as well as the size tree or
work piece involved. For example, felling a tree
requires a larger work area than making bucking
cuts.
Do not force the chain saw. The job can be per-
formed better and safer at the rate for which it
was intended.
Always use the right product for your applica-
tion. The chain saw should be used for cutting
wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut plas-
tic, masonry or non-wood building materials.
Store chain saw when not in use. Chain saw
should be stored in a dry and high or locked
area out of the reach of children. When storing
chain saw place the scabbard on the bar and
chain and store the chain saw in carrying case.
Use only with battery and charger listed. For use
with 40V lithium-ion battery packs. See Tool/
Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation
Supplement 988000842.
NOTE: Although the chain saw will work
with all battery packs listed on the correla-
tion supplement, for best performance, avoid
using first generation Ryobi 40V lithium-ion
batteries [OP4026 (part numbers 130186012
or 130186006) and OP4015 (part number
1300208001)]. The chain speed will be signifi-
cantly reduced if these batteries are used.
Battery operated units do not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they
are always in operating condition. Be aware
of possible hazards even when unit is not
operating.
Remove the battery pack from the chain saw
before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing
material from the unit, changing accessories
such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.
Save these instructions. Refer to them fre-
quently and use them to instruct others who
may use this product. If you loan someone this
product, loan them these instructions also.

KICKBACK
See Figures 1 - 4.
WARNING: Kickback may occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in
the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip
of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into
the object and stop the chain for an instant.
The result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back toward
the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along
the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be
driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either
of these reactions can cause loss of saw control
which can result in serious injury. Do not rely
exclusively upon the safety devices built into
the saw. As a chain saw user, you should take
several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
The following precautions should be followed
to minimize kickback:
Always grip the saw firmly with both hands.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands when
the unit is running. Place your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle with your thumbs and fingers
encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip
together with a stiff left arm will help you
maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
Make sure that the area in which you are cut-
ting is free from obstructions. Do not let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
fence, or any other obstruction that could be
hit while you are operating the saw.
Always cut with the unit running at full speed.
Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain
a steady cutting speed.
Use replacement parts such as low kickback
chain, chain brakes, SAFE-T-TIP
®
anti-kick-
back nose guards special guide bars that
reduce the risks associated with rotational
kickback. Use only the replacement guide
bars and low kickback chains specified by

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
9 - English
With a basic understanding of kickback, you
can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not cut above shoulder height or overreach
when cutting.
Keep the SAFE-T-TIP® anti-kickback nose
guard properly mounted on the guide bar to
prevent rotational kickback
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Push and Pull - This reaction force is always
opposite to the direction the chain is moving
where wood contact is made. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when
cutting along the top edge. See Figure 4.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR CHAIN SAW
SAFETY DEVICES
SAFE-T-TIP
®
ANTI-KICKBACK NOSE
GUARD
See Figure 1.
The SAFE-T-TIP
®
prevents kickback from hap-
pening, because it covers the tip of the bar where
kickback is generated. Never attempt any kind of
cutting where the SAFE-T-TIP
®
would have to be
removed from the bar tip.
LOW KICKBACK SAW CHAIN
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter
can minimize the force of a kickback reaction by
preventing the cutters from digging in too deeply
at the kickback zone. Only use replacement chain
that is equivalent to original chain or has been
certified as low kickback chain per ANSI B175.1.
Low kickback saw chain is chain that has met
the kickback performance requirements of ANSI
B175.1 - 1991 (American National Standard
for Power Tools - Gasoline-Powered Chain
Saws-Safety Requirements) when tested on the
representative sample of chain saws below 3.8
c.i.d. specified in ANSI B175.1 - 1991.
As saw chains are sharpened during their useful
life, they lose some of the low kickback qualities
and extra caution should be used.
GUIDE BARS
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have
somewhat lower kickback potentials.
When making a replacement, be sure to order
one of the RYOBI bars listed for the saw in this
operator’s manual.
The proper size SAFE-T-TIP

OPERATION
STRAIGHT ARM
POSITION
CHAIN LINE
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip,
or any stance which would place your body or
arm across the chain line.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever
the unit is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
(by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the
saw). Any grip in which the thumb and fingers
are on the same side of the handle, is danger-
ous because a slight kick of the saw can cause
loss of control.
WARNING:
Do not operate the switch trigger with your left
hand and hold the front handle with your right
hand. Never allow any part of your body to be
in the chain line while operating a saw.
PROPER CUTTING STANCE
See Figures 12 - 13.
WARNING:
Always use the proper cutting stance described
in this section. Never kneel when using the
chain saw, except when felling a tree as illus-
trated in Figure 13. Kneeling could result in loss
of stability and control of the chain saw, result-
ing in serious personal injury.
Weight should be balanced with both feet on
solid ground.
Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight
arm” position to withstand any kickback force.
Your body should always be to the left of the
chain line.
Thumb should be on underside of handlebar.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before
you begin a major sawing operation.
Fig. 11
Fig. 10
Fig. 12
Fig. 13
19 - English
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw off.
Squeeze the switch trigger and let the chain
accelerate to full speed before entering the cut.
Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keep the unit running the entire time you are
cutting, maintain a steady speed.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. If you force the cut, dam-
age to the bar, chain, or unit can result.
Release the switch trigger as soon as the cut is
completed, allowing the chain to stop. If you run
the saw without a cutting load, unnecessary wear
can occur to the chain, bar, and unit.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of cut.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 14.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood, no
sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-
wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow no
person to use this chain saw who has not read this
Operator’s Manual or received adequate instruc-
tions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
When felling a tree, keep everyone - helpers,
bystanders, children, and animals - a safe distance
from the cutting area. During felling operations, the
safe distance should be a least twice the height of
the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking
operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet
between workers. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person, strike
any utility line or cause any property damage. If
the tree does make contact with any utility line, the
utility company should be notified immediately.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to pre-
vent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height, as a saw held high-
er is difficult to control against kickback forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Leave this operation for professionals.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for
you to see clearly.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
WARNING:
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or
heavy precipitation. Wait until the hazardous
weather has ended.
WARNING:
Closely check for broken or dead branches,
which could fall while cutting and do not cut
near buildings or electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall. Do not cut at
night or during bad weather conditions, such as
rain, snow, or strong winds, which can reduce
visibility and control of the chain saw. If the tree
you are felling makes contact with any utility
line, you should discontinue use of the chain
saw and immediately notify the utility company.
Failure to follow these instructions could result
in death or serious personal injury.
20 - English
When felling a tree, it is important that you follow
these warnings and instructions to prevent pos-
sible serious injury.
Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean or
large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark, or hol-
low trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged
down with heavy equipment, then cut them up.
Do not cut trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches
that could fall and hit you during felling.
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during
the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in
the desired direction.
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction,
or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the
fall, leave the saw and save yourself!
Felling a tree - When bucking and felling opera-
tions are being performed by two or more per-
sons, at the same time, the felling operation
should be separated from the bucking operation
by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person, strike
any utility line or cause any property damage. If
the tree does make contact with any utility line, the
utility company should be notified immediately.
Before any cuts are started, pick your escape
route (or routes in case the intended route is
blocked); clear the immediate area around the
tree and make sure there are no obstructions
in your planned path of retreat. Clear path of
safe retreat approximately 135° from planned
line of fall. The retreat path should extend back
and diagonally to the rear of the expected line
of fall. See Figure 14.
Before felling is started, consider the force and
direction of the wind, the lean and balance of
the tree, and the location of large limbs. These
things influence the direction in which the tree
will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line dif-
ferent from its natural line of fall.
The chain saw operator should keep on the
uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to
roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples,
and wire from the tree where felling cuts are to
be made.
