ADDING CHAIN LUBRICATING OIL
See page 343.
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 frequently and every time before starting to use the
product.
1. Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent
contamination.
2. Unscrew and 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. Put the oil cap back on and tighten. Wipe away any
spillage.
5. One full oil tank will enable you to use the product for
20- 40 min.
NOTE: A properly functioning chain and bar lubricating
system will normally discharge oil from the chain during use.
To check the functionality of the chain and bar lubricating
system, point the tip of the chain at a light coloured surface,
such as a newspaper. A distinct line of oil splatter should be
observed after a short time.
Recommended chain lubricating oil
■ The manufacturer recommends you use only Ryobi
chainsaw lubricating oil. (Available from your authorised
service centre)
STARTING THE PRODUCT
Starting the product differs depending on whether the
engine is cold or warm.
WARNING
Keep your body to the left of the chain line. Never
straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain

SWITCHING BETWEEN OPERATING MODES
See page 357.
The product features an anti-freeze mode that prevents
ice from forming inside the carburettor during operation in
temperatures of
≤ 5 °C.
A ventilation hatch on the right side of the air cleaner cover
can be re-positioned to allow warm air to be supplied to the
engine and prevents ice from forming inside the carburettor.
