Thanks for that. It is helpful. I guess 99 percent of home owners won’t have access to bar oil. I have a variety of proper chemicals and lubricants for various purposes as a pro level motorcyclist. Most of the time, I fall back on machine oil 90w to lubricate things with chains. For me, it just makes sense to reapply the oil as the saw is used, as opposed to using the redivide realtor reduction reservoir dammit!! Why can’t this thing type what I type!!!??!!!! Reservoir. Yeah. That thingie. 8 years of college to learn computer systems design to arrive at a point where my phone won’t type what I tell it to. Anyway…. A can of wd40 works fine mostly because I don’t have an orbital launch vehicle to spray it on. So I gotta use it for something.
According to the manual for my saw it actually specifies the Ryobi branded bar oil, which I just purchased with the saw. It's Way thicker than the traditional bar oils I was familiar with in gas saws.
@@ArcheryDad2024 mechanically speaking, I don’t like the idea either. But then again people use WD-40 to lubricate everything. And WD-40 was actually a chemical created for missiles. It just so happens that I have a ballistic missile in my garage. Just like half the people in town.
this guys is complaining over ryobi branding and not being able to see instructions / warning labels or turn knobs due to his advanced age problems? Literally complaining about non issues....
@@divineavengers Actually no… totally missed it. I make videos because I learn things. If you learn something too then that is great. You are talking to an expert diver, pro motorcyclist and snowboarder. Have you ever launched into the air 20 feet over people’s heads and then grumbled over the fact that your take-off was wrong? Yeah. I do. Because a bad landing only lasts a second. Yeah. I got my priorities straight. Ever get dragged around the ocean bay in fins and mask on a rope tied to a boat side with your feet three feet from A spinning propeller? Shark bait. Right? I am also a multi-national landowner. Amongst other things. In case you forgot. I make videos for fun and learning because it is useful and relaxing.
@@TheWorldsDirtiestWorkshop I won't reply anymore as you will deny pretty much everything I say, you have a great channel and all just look outside your bubble sometimes and maybe try to think about why a stranger would make such comments. Branding on tools is a non issue and unscrewing caps is a non issue. Throwing in your expertise about past life glories has nothing to do with my 2 complaints. I get it you are a crazy perfectionist but most people aren't. Embrace your age and your short comings just be happy that you made to the age you are.
@@divineavengers Wow. Maybe I should post the video I made showing the Ryobi chain worn out in about 2 weeks of heavy use. If you want a better chain saw, buy a black and decker lopper. Maybe I will dedicate the video to you for taking the time to write me. I make videos because it is a good thing to do. Maybe I should take a GoPro on my recreational dives or ski trips… so you can see what real stupidity looks like.
I was hoping you'd show how to keep the chain from coming loose frequently. I was using mine and it got tangled on some fish line and when I opened it to fix the issue and replaced the chain, it comes loose as soon as I start cutting. I'm not sure if the chain rotating wheel is supposed to have a screw or not because mine doesn't, but I've seen some other models that do have a screw. For all I know, it could've fallen without me noticing, but even the owners manual don't mention it and the illustrations are horrible to be able to tell.
@@Faithdced strangely I have a video tucked away about how to keep the chain tight. I never posted it. There is a very cheap locking mechanism that keeps everything tight. I did a video for the City Of Irving where I was using my chainsaw to try to cut a compound stump. A chainsaw kept giving up. I needed to use my black and decker loppers which is a chainsaw that looks like a pair of scissors. It has twice the guts of the Ryobi chainsaw. So to answer your question: yes there’s a mechanism that locks the chain in the place. It is underneath the guard. Yes it is very cheap. It is barely good enough. I have a lot more trust in the black and decker loppers. It looks like a giant pair of scissors where the chainsaw is on one side. The other blade holds the tree stump into place. It is like a hook. You bring the jaws of the scissors together. And the Black & Decker lopper will cut through anything up to about 8 inches wide. It is quite effective. The Ryobi chainsaw battery quits at about 3 inches. It just cannot handle wet sticky stumps. I suggest you write me on Facebook and then I will pull my chainsaw out and take a look at it and post a picture of it. I am Rider of the Storm. I do not look at the Christopher thunder profile anymore because it is just incredibly busy. Leave me a note on Rider of the Storm. Just reply to one of the posts. I’ll do what I can.
@@TheWorldsDirtiestWorkshop Thanks. I'm being told that what might supposed to hold the chain rotating wheel in place is a snap ring and not a screw, so I'll look into that first. Thanks a lot for your reply.
Not sure if u figured it out since ur comment but all u have to do is loosen the hex bolt on the side, spin the flathead screw bit clockwise until the chain is tight enough (not overly tight, it’ll damage the saw and bar sprocket), and tighten the hex bolt back up. Seeing that it came off, you’ll have to take the cover completely off as well as the bar and put the chain back on the bar (teeth with be coming at you on the bottom and away on top) and put the chain around the sprocket and then replace everything back to where it was.
Personally, I would’ve just felled the tree and worked with it on the ground with how small it was. Also, the HP saws r way better. Might b a tad more expensive but we’ll worth it, found out the hard way.
You are supposed to use bar oil to lubricate the chain, not motor oil. Motor oil is too thin. That's why it leaks out for you.

What about using vegetable oil?
Please people, DO NOT USE motor oil in your chainsaw, pick up bar oil when you buy your saw, it's not hard to find.

I need to know how to tighten the chain. It came off my first use. Frustrating
