See Figure 6.
WARNING:
Always remove battery pack from your tool
when you are assembling parts, making adjust-
ments, cleaning, carrying, transporting or when
not in use. Removing battery pack will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
NOTE: To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack and keep hands clear of
the look-out button when carrying or transporting
the tool.
To install:
 Place the battery pack in your chain saw. Align
raised rib on battery pack with groove in chain
saw’s battery port.
NOTICE:
When placing battery pack in your chain saw,
be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with
groove in chain saw’s battery port and latches
snap in place properly. Improper assembly of
battery pack can cause damage to internal
components.
 Make sure the latch on bottom side of the bat-
tery pack snaps in place and that battery pack is
secured in chain saw before beginning operation.
WARNING:
Make sure the latch on the bottom of the bat-
tery pack snaps in place and the battery pack
is fully seated and secure in the chain saw bat-
tery port before beginning operation. Failure
to securely seat the battery pack could cause
the battery pack to fall out, resulting in serious
personal injury.
To remove:
Locate latch on bottom of battery pack and depress
both sides to release the battery pack from the
chain saw.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
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 7.

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.
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 mon
ths or longer) be
sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
