Ryobi RY36CSX30B Original Instructions Manual page 8

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national
provisions and regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling
when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that
no batteries can come in contact with other batteries
or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps
or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
MAINTENANCE
■ Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so
can cause possible injury, can contribute to poor
performance, and may void your warranty.
■ Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Have the product serviced by an authorised
service centre only.
■ You may make adjustments or repairs described in this
manual. For other repairs, have the product serviced by
an authorised service centre only.
■ Consequences of improper maintenance, removal, or
modification of safety devices may cause the product to
not function correctly, increasing the potential for serious
injury. Keep the product professionally maintained.
■ Sharpening the chain safely is a difficult precision task
that should be performed only by experienced skilled
professionals. Therefore, the manufacturer strongly
recommends that a worn or dull chain is replaced with
a new one, available at your authorised service centre.
The part number is available in the product specification
table in this manual.
■ Follow the instructions for lubricating and chain tension
checking and adjustment.
■ After each use, clean the plastic parts with a soft, dry
cloth.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals
for security to ensure that the product is in safe working
condition. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre.

SAFETY DEVICES
Chain brake
Chain brakes are designed to quickly stop the chain from
rotating. When the chain brake lever/hand guard is pushed
towards the bar, the chain should stop immediately. A
chain brake does not prevent kickback. It only lowers the
risk of injury should the chain bar contact the operator's
body during a kickback event. The chain brake should be
tested before each use for correct operation in both the run
and brake positions.
WARNING! If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake does not stay in the
run position without assistance, take the product to an
authorised service centre for repair before use.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher prevents the saw chain from being
thrown back towards the operator if the saw chain comes
loose or breaks.
Guide bars
Generally, guide bars with small radius tips have a somewhat
lower potential for kickback. Use a guide bar and matching
chain that is just long enough for the job. Longer bars
increase the risk of loss of control during sawing. Regularly
check the chain tension. When cutting smaller branches
(less than the full length of the guide bar) the chain is more
likely to be thrown off if the tension is not correct.
Low-kickback saw chain
The low-kickback saw chain helps to reduce the possibility
of a kickback event.
The rakers (depth gauges) ahead of each cutter can
minimise the force of a kickback reaction by preventing the
cutters from digging in too deeply. Use only replacement
guide bar and chain combinations that are recommended
by the manufacturer.
As saw chains are sharpened, they lose some of the low-
kickback qualities, and extra caution is required. For your
safety, replace saw chains when cutting performance
decreases.
