Ryobi RY40570 Operation Manual - Page 7

CHAIN SAW SAFETY WARNINGS other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this manual.  All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections, should be performed by an authorized service center.  Always maintain a proper stance.  Do not use chain saw if switch does not turn it on and off. Have defective switch replaced by an authorized service center.  Do not adapt your powerhead to a bow guide or use it to power any attachments or devices not listed for the saw.  Disconnect chain saw from power supply when not in use, before servicing, and when making adjustments and changing attachments, such as saw chain and guard.  Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush.  Do not operate a chain saw in a tree, on a ladder, rooftop, scaffold, or other unstable support; this is extremely dangerous. NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the job being performed as well as the size tree or work piece involved. For example, felling a tree requires a larger work area than making bucking cuts.  Do not force the chain saw. The job can be performed better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.  Always use the right product for your application. The chain saw should be used for cutting wood only. Never use the chain saw to cut plastic, masonry or non-wood building materials.  Store chain saw when not in use. Chain saw should be stored in a dry and high or locked area out of the reach of children. When storing chain saw place the scabbard on the bar and chain and store the chain saw in carrying case.  Use only with battery and charger listed. For use with 40V lithium-ion battery packs. See Tool/ Appliance/Battery Pack/Charger Correlation Supplement 988000842. NOTE: Although the chain saw will work with all battery packs listed on the correlation supplement, for best performance, avoid using first generation Ryobi 40V lithium-ion batteries [OP4026 (part numbers 130186012 or 130186006) and OP4015 (part number 1300208001)]. The chain speed will be significantly reduced if these batteries are used. n Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating. n Remove the battery pack from the chain saw before cleaning, servicing, storing, removing material from the unit, changing accessories such as the bar and chain, or when not in use.  Save these instructions.
