Chain Maintenance - Ryobi RY43200 Manuel D'utilisation

CHAIN OILER
See Figure 18.
Use Premium Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is de-
signed for chains and chain oilers and is formu-
lated to perform over a wide temperature range
with no dilution required.
 Stop the motor and disconnect from power
supply.
 Remove the oil reservoir cap and carefully pour
approximately 2 oz. of bar and chain lubricant
into the tank.
 Replace the cap and tighten securely.
 Check and refill the tank every time the lopper
is used.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the
oil pump, bar, or chain.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

See Figure 19 - 20.
Use only low-kickback chain on this saw. This
fast-cutting chain will provide kickback reduction
when properly maintained.
For smooth and fast cutting, chain needs to be
maintained properly. The chain requires sharpen-
ing when the wood chips are small and powdery,
the chain must be forced through the wood dur-
ing cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During
maintenance of your chain, consider the following:
 Improper filing angle of the side plate can in-
crease the risk of a severe kickback.
 Raker (depth gauge) clearance.
 Too low increases the potential for kickback.
 Not low enough decreases cutting ability.
 If cutter teeth have hit hard objects such as nails
and stones, or have been abraded by mud or sand
on the wood, have service dealer sharpen chain.
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or dam-
age when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or
damage are present in the areas indicated, have the
drive sprocket replaced by a Ryobi service dealer.
