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.
