GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of
the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
• Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands when the engine is running. Place your right hand on the rear handle and your left hand on the front handle with your thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip together with a stiff left arm will help you maintain control of the saw if kickback occurs.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. DO NOT let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw.
• Cut at high engine speeds. Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully
Page 3 — English squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed.
• Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
• Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
• Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
Do not operate a chain saw with one
hand. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation.
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
Do not operate a chain saw when you are
fatigued. Fatigue causes carelessness. Be more cautious before rest periods and towards the end of your shift. Never operate a chain saw when you are tired or under the influence of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
Use safety footwear. Wear snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing, and head protection devices.
Heavy protective clothing may increase operator fatigue, which could lead to
heat stroke. During weather that is hot and humid, heavy work should be scheduled for early morning or late afternoon hours when temperatures are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while using the chain saw, that includes ladders, scaffolds, trees, etc.
chain saw at least 30 feet from the fueling point before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting with the chain saw.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped and the chain brake engaged, the
GENERAL SAFETY RULES guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body. When transporting the chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain
saw down. Do not leave the engine running unattended. As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake prior to setting down the saw.
Use extreme caution when cutting small-size
brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibers is released.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.
dangerous.
in the instruction manual and all maintenance, should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (For example, if improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur and subsequently could cause the flywheel to burst.)
Always have a fire extinguisher available when using chain saw.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the saw.
Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the saw.
The gas powered saw (or electrically powered saw) is classified by CSA as a
Class 1C (or Class 2C) saw. It is intended for infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and campers, and for such general applications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation can cause circulatory problems in the user’s hands due to vibration. For such use, it may be appropriate to use a saw having an anti-vibration feature.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
The warnings, labels, and instructions found in this section of the operator’s manual are for your safety. Failure to follow all instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a diameter of less than 3 in.).
Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after
operation of the chain saw; keep all body parts away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur if contact is made with the muffler.
Always hold the chain saw with both hands
when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
Never let anyone use the chain saw who has not received adequate instructions in its
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as privately owned saws.
Page 4 — English
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES saw chain is not contacting any object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or chaps made of cut-resistant material or ones that contain cut-resistant inserts. Secure hair so that it is above shoulder level.
Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy-
duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect your hands.
Wear eye protection which is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1, as well as hearing
and head protection, when operating this equipment.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work
area. Do not allow other persons to be nearby during starting or cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size tree or workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making other cuts (i.e., bucking cuts, etc.).
® anti-kickback nose guard
properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent rotational kickback.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting.
Refer to Adjusting the Carburetor in the
Maintenance section of this manual. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed after adjustment has been made, contact an authorized service center for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 12 - 13.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return to idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the STOP ( O ) position. Do not put the chain saw on the ground when the chain is still moving.
For additional safety, set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position ( FULL CHOKE ) and engage chain brake to stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the STOP position, have the ignition switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.
NOTE: When you are finished using the saw, always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 14.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates, but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed screw “T” counterclockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an authorized service center for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

PULL AND PUSH
See Figure 15.
The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge.
NOTE: The chain saw has been fully factory tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue on the saw.
WARNING:
KICKBACK occurs when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The result is a lightning-fast reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions can cause loss of saw control, which can result in serious injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you should take steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury. See General Safety
Rules for more details.

OPERATION
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
See Figures 16 - 17.
Rotational kickback occurs when the moving chain contacts an object at the Kickback Danger Zone of the guide bar. The result is a lightning-fast reverse reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back towards the operator. This reaction can cause loss of control, which can result in serious injury.
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 18.
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety equipment.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the front handle and your right hand on the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line.
WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or any stance that would place your body or arm across the chain line.
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the engine is running. The fingers should encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the saw. Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss of control.

WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 20.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow no person to use this chain saw who has not read this operator’s manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw.
Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children, and animals, a SAFE DISTANCE from the cutting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be a least twice the height of the largest trees in the felling area. During bucking operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet between workers.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height as a saw held higher is difficult to control against kickback forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings. Leave this operation for professionals.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for you to see clearly.

BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING
PROCEDURES
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw idling.
Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.
Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are cutting.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward pressure. Forcing the cut could result in damage to the bar, chain, or engine.
Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed allowing the engine to idle. Running
Page 19 — English
OPERATION the saw at full throttle without a cutting load can result in unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and engine.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
FELLING TREES
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
WARNING:
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait until the hazardous weather has ended.
When felling a tree, it is important that you heed the following warnings to prevent possible serious injury.
Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy equipment, then cut them up.

LINE OF
FALL
135°
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that could fall and hit you during felling.
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save yourself!
PROPER PROCEDURE FOR TREE
FELLING
See Figures 21 - 24.
Pick your escape route (or routes in case the intended route is blocked). Clear the immediate area around the tree and make sure there are no obstructions in your planned path of retreat.
Clear the path of safe retreat approximately 135° from the planned line of fall.
Consider the force and direction of the wind, the lean and balance of the tree, and the location of large limbs. These things influence the direction in which the tree will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line different from its natural line of fall.

OPERATION
Cut a notch about 1/3 the diameter of the trunk in the side of the tree. Make the notch cuts so they intersect at a right angle to the line of fall.
This notch should be cleaned out to leave a straight line. To keep the weight of the wood off the saw, always make the lower cut of the notch before the upper cut.
Make the backcut level and horizontal, and at a minimum of 2 in. above the horizontal cut of the notch.
NOTE: Never cut through to the notch. Always leave a band of wood between the notch and back cut (approximately 2 in. or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). This is called “hinge” or
“hingewood.” It controls the fall of the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or shootback of the tree off the stump.
On large diameter trees, stop the back cut before it is deep enough for the tree to either fall or settle back on the stump. Then insert soft wooden or plastic wedges into the cut so they do not touch the chain. Drive wedges in, little by little, to help jack the tree over.
NOTE: When bucking or felling with a wedge, it may be necessary to remove the SAFE-T-TIP ® anti-kickback device to allow the bar to be drawn through the cut. After you complete the cut, reinstall the tip immediately.
As tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw and put it down immediately. Retreat along the cleared path, but watch the action in case something falls your way.
WARNING:
Never cut through to the notch when making a back cut. The hinge controls the fall of the tree, this is the section of wood between the notch and backcut.

REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS
See Figure 25.
A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling. Make the horizontal cut into the buttress first, followed by the vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose section from the

BUCKING
See Figure 26.
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log length.
KICKBACK
Support small logs on a saw horse or another log while bucking.
Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no objects can contact the guide bar nose and chain during cutting, this can cause kickback.
To avoid the danger, keep the SAFE-T-TIP ® anti-kickback device attached while cutting.
Refer to Kickback in the Specific Safety Rules section of this manual for more information.
During bucking operations, stand on the uphill side so that the cut-off section of the log cannot roll over you.
Sometimes it is impossible to avoid pinching
(with just standard cutting techniques) or difficult to predict which way a log will settle when cut.
BUCKING WITH A WEDGE
See Figure 27.
If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without touching the chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching.
NOTE: When bucking or felling with a wedge, you may need to remove the SAFE-T-TIP ® anti-kickback device to allow the bar to be drawn through the cut. After you complete the cut, reinstall the tip.

OPERATION
BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS
See Figure 28.
Make the first bucking cut 1/3 of the way through the log and finish with a 2/3 cut on the opposite side. As you cut the log, it will tend to bend. The saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you make the first cut deeper than 1/3 of the diameter of the log.
Give special attention to logs under stress to prevent the bar and chain from pinching.
OVERBUCKING
See Figure 29.
Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom of the saw against the log; exert light pressure downward. Note that the saw will tend to pull away from you.
UNDERBUCKING
See Figure 30.
Begin on the under side of the log with the top of the saw against the log; exert light pressure upward. During underbucking, the saw will tend to push back at you. Be prepared for this reaction and hold the saw firmly to maintain control.

See Figures 31 - 32.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing.
Do not cut from a ladder. This is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.
Do not cut above chest height. A saw held higher than chest height is difficult to control against kickback.

WARNING:
Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to lose your balance or control of the saw.
When pruning trees it is important not to make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. This prevents stripping the bark from the main member.
• Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
• Overbuck the branch to drop it.
• Finish by cutting smoothly and neatly against the main member so the bark will grow back to seal the wound.

WARNING:
If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height, hire a professional to perform the pruning.
CUTTING SPRINGPOLES
See Figure 33.
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs back if the wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for springpoles — they are dangerous.
Page 24 — English
WARNING:
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator, causing the operator to lose control of the chain saw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARRANTY
THE FOLLOWING CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (CARB) STATEMENT ONLY APPLIES TO MODEL
NUMBERS REQUIRED TO MEET THE CARB REQUIREMENTS.
TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES NORTH AMERICA, INC., LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT FOR FEDERAL
AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS NON-ROAD AND SMALL OFF-ROAD ENGINES
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board
(CARB), and Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., are pleased to explain the
Emissions Control System Warranty on your 2010 model year non-road or small offroad engine. In California, new equipment that uses small off-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-smog standards. In other states, new 2000 and later model year non-road engines must be designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale to meet the U.S. EPA regulations for small non-road engines. The non-road engine must be free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause it to fail to conform with U.S. EPA standards for the first three years of engine use from the date of sale to the ultimate purchaser. Techtronic
Industries North America, Inc., must warrant the emission control system on your non-road or small off-road engine for the period of time listed above provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your non-road or small off-road engine.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converters, fuel tanks, valves, filters, clamps, connectors, and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts and connectors, and other emission-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will repair your non-road or small off-road engine at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts, and labor performed at an authorized service center for RYOBI
®
brand outdoor products.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
This product’s emissions control system is warranted for three years. If any emissionrelated part on your engine is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., free of charge.
OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES
(a) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required maintenance listed in your operator’s manual.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your non-road or small off-road engine, but
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled maintenance. Any replacement part or service that is equivalent in performance and durability may be used in non-warranty maintenance or repairs, and shall not reduce the warranty obligations of Techtronic Industries North America, Inc.
(b) As the non-road or small off-road engine owner, you should be aware, however, that Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., may deny you warranty coverage if your non-road or small off-road engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
(c) You are responsible for presenting your non-road or small off-road engine to an authorized service dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, you should contact a Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., Customer Representative at 1-800-860-4050.
DEFECT WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS:
(a) The warranty period begins on the date the engine or equipment is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage. Techtronic Industries North America,
Inc., warrants to the ultimate purchaser and each subsequent purchaser that your non-road or small off-road engine is designed, built, and equipped at the time of sale to conform with all applicable regulations adopted by the California Air Resources
Board or the United States Environmental Protection Agency; and that it is free from defects in materials and workmanship which cause the engine to fail to conform with applicable regulations for a period of three years from the date the non-road or small off-road engine is purchased by the initial purchaser.
(c) The warranty on emissions-related parts will be interpreted as follows: Any warranted part that is not scheduled for replacement as required in the Emissions
Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List set forth below is warranted for three years. If any such part (including any part that is scheduled only for regular inspection) fails during the period of warranty coverage, it will be repaired or replaced at any
RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center at no charge. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty will be warranted for the remaining warranty period. A statement to the effect of “repair or replace as necessary” would not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any warranted part that is scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Emissions Maintenance Schedule and Warranty Parts List is warranted for the period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part. Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the remainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point, and will be repaired or replaced at any RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center for no charge until that replacement point is reached.
Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., shall remedy warranty defects at any authorized RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center, including any distribution center that may be franchised to service the subject engines. Any diagnostic work done at a RYOBI
®
Authorized Service Center shall be free of charge to the owner if such work determines that a warranted part is defective. Any manufacturer-approved or equivalent replacement part may be used for any warranty maintenance or repairs on emission-related parts, and must be provided free of charge to the owner if the part is still under warranty. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure of a warranted part still under warranty.
Add-on or modified parts that are not exempted by the California Air Resource Board may not be used. The use of any non-exempted add-on or modified parts will be grounds for disallowing a warranty claim. Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will not be liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by the use of a nonexempted add-on or modified part.
The California Air Resources Board’s Emission Warranty Parts List specifically defines the emission-related warranted parts. (EPA’s regulations do not include a parts list, but the EPA considers emission-related warranted parts to include all the parts listed below.) Techtronic Industries North America, Inc., will provide any documents that describe its warranty procedures or policies within five days upon request by the
California Air Resources Board.
