CHAIN OILER
See Figure 18.
Use Premium Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is de-
signed for chains and chain oilers and is formu-
lated to perform over a wide temperature range
with no dilution required.

Stop the motor and disconnect from power
supply.

Remove the oil reservoir cap and carefully pour
approximately 2 oz. of bar and chain lubricant
into the tank.

Replace the cap and tighten securely.

Check and refill the tank every time the lopper
is used.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the
oil pump, bar, or chain.
CHAIN MAINTENANCE
See Figure 19 - 20.
Use only low-kickback chain on this saw. This
fast-cutting chain will provide kickback reduction
when properly maintained.
For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpen-
ing when the wood chips are small and powdery,
the chain must be forced through the wood dur-
ing cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During
maintenance of your chain, consider the following:

Improper filing angle of the side plate can in-
crease the risk of a severe kickback.

Raker (depth gauge) clearance.

Too low increases the potential for kickback.

Not low enough decreases cutting ability.

If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such as nails
and stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand
on the wood, have service dealer sharpen chain.
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or dam-
age when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or
damage are present in the areas indicated, have the
drive sprocket replaced by a Ryobi service dealer.
