Removing The Battery Pack; Starting The Chainsaw; Stopping The Chainsaw; Chain Lubrication System - Ryobi OCS1825 Original Instructions Manual

■ Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that battery pack is secured in the
chainsaw before beginning the operation.

REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

See Fig.5.
Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both
sides to release the battery pack from the chainsaw.
CAUTION
When placing battery pack in your chainsaw, be sure the
raised rib on the battery pack aligns with groove in the
product'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 Ryobi
Bar and Chain Lubricant before starting the chainsaw.
Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain.

CHAIN LUBRICATION SYSTEM

See Fig.6.
■ Use Ryobi Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is formulated to
perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution
required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
lubricants. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
■ Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into the tank.
■ Check and fill the oil tank when battery is recharged,
or as needed.
■ Depress the oil tank cap once to pump the lubricant to
the chain before starting the saw. This allows the oil to
continually flow for 1.5-2 minutes.
■ To keep the chain lubricated while cutting, depress
the oil tank cap once every few minutes.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant 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.

STARTING THE CHAINSAW

See Fig.7.
Keep body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the
saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line.
■ Place the chainsaw on a flat bare surface and make
Fig 5 sure no objects or obstructions are in the immediate
vicinity which could come in contact with the bar and
chain.
■ Press and hold the lock-out button. This makes the
switch trigger operational.
■ Press and hold the switch trigger, release the lock-out
button and continue to squeeze the switch trigger for
continued operation.

STOPPING THE CHAINSAW

See Fig.7.
■ Release the switch trigger to stop the chainsaw.
■ Upon release of the switch trigger, the lock-out button
will be automatically reset to the lock position.
