 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. As
an additional safety precaution, apply the chain
brake prior to setting down the saw.
 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
contact 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
your nearest RYOBI service dealer.
 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

other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service
dealer 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 your nearest RYOBI
service dealer.
 Always maintain a proper stance.
 Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it
on and off. Have defective switch replaced by
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 materi als.
 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.
