We start by discussing the requirements. Then we move onto how to start a Ryobi Chain Saw.
An oil and gas mixture will be required for your Ryobi chainsaw’s engine. Before you start your Ryobi chainsaw, make sure you have enough of the oil and gas mixture. This information can be found in your user manual or on the side of your container of choice.
Your Ryobi chain saw will also require a spark plug, to ensure the engine starts. You can find this information in your user manual, or in the parts list of your Ryobi chainsaw.
To get started, make sure you are in an open space with enough room around you. Before you start your chainsaw, make sure there are no obstructions between you and the object or tree you wish to cut.
It is a good idea to ask someone who has used a chainsaw before you start. Let’s get started!
- Check all moving components on the chainsaw such as the cutting chain, the housing, and the blade guard. If any of these parts are damaged or broken, do not use your chainsaw until they have been properly fixed/replaced.
- Prepare a small mound of dirt or sand to place your Ryobi chain saw on when it is in operation. This will prevent the chainsaw’s sliding on slippery surfaces.
- Use a mixture of a starter fluid to prime the engine. Open the cap that covers your oil reservoir to prime the engine. Fill this space with an oil/gas mixture using a funnel or oil can that can be found in your toolbox for this specific purpose only. You will need to follow the Ryobi recommendations in your manual. You want to ensure that this mixture is not too thin or too thick.
- You will need to replace the cap on the oil reservoir. Fill up your oil the same way as usual with a funnel or oil can. This time you only need to fill to approximately one-quarter of the tanks capacity. Again, refer to your user manual for specific details on how much oil should be filled in your Ryobi chain saw.
- Fill up your gas tank with enough fuel and, once again, refer to your user manual for specific instructions on how much fuel should be added into your Ryobi chainsaw supply tank. Fill it to 75 percent.
- Once both the engine and the gas reservoir are filled, youre ready to start your Ryobi chainsaw!
- The knob for switching from forward to reverse can be turned by turning the knob. You can find this feature at the base of your Ryobi chain saws front handle.
- Pull out the choke lever on your Ryobi chainsaw until it reaches the full-choke position (this should be all the way out). This part can be found near where you would place your hands while using the chainsaw.
- Once both switches are in their correct positions, you can press the throttle trigger just below them. This will activate your engine into what is called high idle.
- While holding down on this throttle trigger, pull on the starter cord. This will create friction between your piston and crankshaft, activating your engine.
- Continue holding down on this throttle trigger while you gradually release the tension on the starter cord over time until your Ryobi chain saw starts up. You should do this slowly so your Ryobi chainsaw doesn’t jump start before it has had time to warm up properly.
- After your Ryobi chainsaws engine has been activated to high idle, you can use one hand for the choke lever’s return to its original position (all of the way in). Place one hand still holding onto the throttle trigger and place the other on top of the levers.
Features:
- Priming the engine
- Filling up oil reservoir
- Fuelling the gas tank
- The choke lever is pulled out
- Pressing down on the throttle trigger
- Pulling on the starter cord
- Controlling the starter chord
- Lifting up both hands and placing one on each lever to operate them simultaneously
Final Thoughts
The bottom of your saw should have the chain at its base. It should point towards the area you wish to cut. Next, place one foot on the back of the saw and hold it steady with the other. Pull up on the bars with your other hand until they are locked in place. You should now have a good grip for starting your chain saw quickly and safely!
