SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

PROPER CLOTHING FOR SAFETY

Wear close-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy, long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewellery, shorts, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, which could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or undergrowth. Wear overalls, jeans, or leggings 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, hearing, and head protection when operating this equipment.

REFUELLING (DO NOT SMOKE!)

To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.

Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol.

Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or flames.

Select bare ground, stop the engine, and allow it to cool before refuelling.

Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.

Tighten the fuel cap securely after refuelling.

Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 15 m (50 ft.) away from refuelling site before starting engine.

Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.

BASIC PRECAUTIONS IN THE CUTTING/ WORK AREA

Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree.

Do not cut from a ladder: this is extremely dangerous.

Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.

Do not allow other persons to be nearby during starting or cutting with the chainsaw.

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.).

PUSH AND PULL

The reaction force 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: Your chainsaw has been fully factory tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue on the saw.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS

Never operate a chainsaw 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 idling speed, the carburettor may need adjusting. Refer to “Operation – Adjusting Idling Speed” later in this manual. If the saw chain still moves at idling speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Ryobi service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made.

WARNING:

All chainsaw service, other than items in the operator’s manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. If improper tools are used to remove the flywheel or clutch, or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst and serious injury could result.

KICK-BACK

Kick-back is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with your saw. As a chainsaw user, you must take special safety precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

NOTE: Refer to “Operation” later in this manual for added information on kick-back and how to avoid serious personal injury.
