Cordless Chainsaws

The chainsaw capability depends on the size of the chainsaw bar length and its battery voltage system. Higher-voltage models, like the Ryobi 36V MAX POWER 40cm Cordless Brushless Chainsaw can handle large trees, while 18V models are better suited for lighter tasks such as pruning or cutting up smaller logs and branches.

Maintenance is relatively simple, but key steps include:

• Chain sharpening: Keep the chain sharp for optimal performance.
• Lubrication: Make sure the chain oil reservoir is filled to ensure proper lubrication.
• Chain tensioning: Check and adjust the chain tension regularly using the tool-free tensioning system.
• Battery care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it before storing for extended periods.

Ryobi take hard work out of chainsaw maintenance with automatic bar and chain lubrication, as well as intelligent electronics that constantly regulate the motor and ensure the most efficient balance between performance and runtime

The Ryobi 36V Cordless 35cm Brushless Chainsaw is designed to produce the power and performance of a petrol chainsaw with none of the drawbacks, incorporating a powerful high-torque brushless motor producing a 21m/s chain speed to offer users the ultimate cutting experience. Cordless electric chainsaws also make a great alternative for users who want less maintenance, no fumes, and reduced noise.

Yes, Ryobi’s ONE+ 18V system and MAX POWER platform are designed so that the batteries are interchangeable across other compatible tools within their respective systems. This allows users to invest in multiple tools without needing to buy separate batteries for each one.

Yes, cordless chainsaws still require bar and chain oil to lubricate the chain during operation. Most Ryobi chainsaws have an automatic bar and chain lubrication to ensure proper lubrication, but you’ll need to refill the oil reservoir periodically

Most modern cordless chainsaws, like many Ryobi models, come with a tool-free chain tensioning system. This allows you to quickly and easily adjust the chain tension by twisting a dial or knob without needing additional tools.

Yes, battery operated cordless chainsaws are generally safer than gas models because they have fewer parts that can malfunction. Ryobi cordless chainsaws come equipped with various safety features, such as:

• Chain brake stops the chain immediately in the event of kickback.
• Trigger lock prevents accidental starts.
• Soft grip anti-vibration handle for comfort during extended use.

The size depends on the types of tasks you’ll perform:

• 20cm bar: Suitable for light, pruning, and cutting small branches.
• 35cm bar: Good for moderate tasks like cutting or felling medium-sized logs or trees.
• 50cm bar: Ideal for felling and cutting up the largest of trees and logs

While cordless chainsaws can technically operate in damp conditions, it’s not recommended to use them in heavy rain or wet conditions due to the risk of battery damage or slipping. It’s best to keep them dry during use and storage.

• No fumes: Cordless chainsaws are environmentally friendly and produce zero emissions at the point of use.
• Low noise: They are much quieter than gas-powered models.
• Low maintenance: No need to deal with fuel mixing, spark plugs, or carburettors.
• Ease of use: Start instantly with the pull of a trigger.
• Portability: Lighter and easier to manoeuvre for all users.

Yes, it's important to use proper PPE when operating any chainsaw, always ensure you refer to the user manual. This includes:

• Chainsaw helmet along with eye and ear protection.
• Chainsaw gloves to protect your hands and improve grip.
• Suitable clothing to protect your arms and legs from accidental cuts.
• ​Non-slip safety footwear
