MAINTENANCE CHAIN MAINTENANCE See Figures 33 - 35. WARNING: Remove the battery pack and make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw. 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 sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood during cutting, or the chain cuts to one side. During maintenance of your chain, consider the following: Improper filing angle of the side plate can increase 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 damage 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. RAKER CLEARANCE .025 in.
