OPERATION
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return battery pack to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of the tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to “CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK” for normal recharging of batter- ies. If the charger does not charge your battery pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Ryobi Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 7.
nPlace the battery pack in your chain saw. Align raised rib on battery pack with groove in chain saw’s battery port.
nMake sure the latches on each side of the battery pack snap in place and that battery pack is secured in chain saw before beginning operation.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 7.
Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both sides to release the battery pack from the chain saw.
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in your chain saw, be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with groove in chain saw's battery port and latches snap in place properly. Improper assembly of battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
CAUTION:
Remove battery pack from unit. Fill oil tank with Homelite Bar and Chain Oil before starting the chain saw. Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the bar and chain.
CHAIN OIL SYSTEM
See Figure 8.
n Use Homelite Bar and Chain Oil. It is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
nCarefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.
nCheck and fill the oil tank when battery is recharged, or as needed.
nDepress the oil tank cap several times to pump the oil to the chain before starting the saw.
nDepress the oil tank cap every
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. When storing the unit for a long period of time (three months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
