How to Operate a Ryobi Chainsaw | Models RY3716 RY3714 | Safety Overview and Start Up

Demonstration starts at 02:56
In this video I give an overview of the safety instructions and show you how to start up your Ryobi RY3716 home chainsaw. This is also good for the 14" model: RY3714. To see how to clean, tighten/change the blade and how to get the cover on and off see here: • How to Take Apart & Cl...

I love KZbin! I just bought my very first chainsaw today, which is a RY3716. It's been bairly used, and I got it for $60 on Facebook marketplace. First thing I did after coming home was downloading the operator's manual. Then I felt a little lazzy to read it since it's kinda long. Visual demonstrations always help me more to grasp information better. Searched on KZbin and this video came on top, and it's exactly what I wanted. Thank you very much, sir! You're helping a lot of people with this content.

[@jagill23]

Thanks! Just purchased and couldn't get it to start...was going to return it but watched your video and realized I had skipped a step. As you pointed out...you need to push the choke back in after the first 3-5 pulls, and then pull again. Instructions weren't super clear about that.

[@NKYDIY]

Glad I could help and that you didn't have to return it!

[@altemose_prime]

Yeah, mine won’t start. Used it three times. Won’t start. Going to go battery powered. At least they work when you need it.

[@saket29]

I was running this saw for about 2 hours at about a 30-50% duty cycle kzbin.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and it did a great job. I used the lever for the built in sharpener to clear chip buildup out more than to actually sharpen the chain. It managed to cut some hardwood stumps much larger than it's size without bothering the neighbors with hours of 2 stroke noise.

[@PinkUincorn]

OMG! I have to agree with everyone else. This video is simply amazing. You go step by step in an easy to follow format. Thanks for saving my chainsaw. I'm on my way to the next video to learn about maintenance. No point in paying somebody to do what you can teach me to do myself. (You are awesome)

[@NKYDIY]

Wow, thank you! It is great to know that I am helping people like you out there with understanding how to operate this chainsaw! Thanks for the view!

Some people grow up to be doctors and astronauts. Others...chainsaw experts. Thank you for your service.

[@NKYDIY]

Thank you for the compliment utseay! I'm at your service!

[@cindyschaefer3390]

Found this because chain wouldn't turn thought I had cleaned it opened it back up and cleaned more we are back to cutting wood. Great video!!!!!

[@shadrackblack1888]

Thanks dude. I wasn't getting the manual AT ALL. Your demo explains it perfectly

[@vtbn53]

You are not the only one that suggests you should take the brake off, but my instructions clearly state that the brake should be on. It makes sense from a safety point of view.

really great video, thank you. appreciate the directness, and you taking the time to highlight the manual

[@jamescabrera3655]

Thank you for taking the time to do this video, very handy visual reference. How about one on safe cutting techniques with the chainsaw :)

[@jb12081]

Thank for sharing your video. 1st time users and for RYOBI too. This chainsaw may not be like the typical commercial chainsaw but it works for me. Cut a small tree in my backyard that was leading with no problem.

[@salamon1080]

I am another person that is looking for your follow up video my friend, get that thing off the back burner and onto your youtube page! Thanks for this well put together, short and to the point video, it helped me out.

[@NKYDIY]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmbZdX14idOnh6c Your quote pushed me over the motivation edge.....check out the next video!

[@mrlpz1636]

Thank you very grateful for your video my son when he comes on leave does things around the house but I wanted to try to turn it on myself . Your explanation helped me .

[@franklikespolitics]

Craig Williams had the same hesitation to release the brake ,afraid I would break something if I pulled too hard. Great video. Thanks

[@toneg3127]

I dove right in took 3 saws back to homedepot then watched vids simipro now 💪🏽

[@Dnyce07]

Thanks for the visual, very helpful!

[@newcreation07]

If you pull it after it fires on choke, that’s how it gets flooded

[@gregoryallsopp4406]

Yeah very helpful for us newbies thank you sir....

Very helpful thank u

[@craiggraham7746]

Couldn’t figure out turning off the chain brake. Did not pull back hard enough I was afraid I would break it. Thank you.

[@vambat3523]

very helpful video my dad knows how to use it now to cut down the trees

[@BereftJacob]

Just picked one up. Thanks!

[@HumVDoctor1]

This is supposed to be an automatic chain oiler, correct? Mine doesn’t seem to be oiling my chain at all. Yes I do have the oil full.

[@justmytwobits]

Thanks for the video. My chair got jammed at the tip so I followed your instructions to loosen etc. I might have done something wrong reinstalling as it doesn’t have the torque ...something is off. I’ll figure it out ..

[@2065Dragonslayer]

Perfect video, you are the only one who explained everything, thanks for that, but unfortunately after priming it over and over, the bulb doesn't fill with gas and obviously it doesn't start. Oh well, in the garbage it goes. Guess I'll try another brand.

[@NKYDIY]

Thanks for the compliment, I try to make things as simple and straight forward as possible. Too bad about your saw!!

[@2065Dragonslayer]

If It wasn't a gift, I'd return it but now it sits as gas filled paperweight

[@joeshmow9097]

Great video. Thank you, sir

[@enjoythesho1992]

These are high revving torquey little saws I've always wanted to do a muffler and port mod on one of these just to see how they woukd act

[@jeffsond]

Thanks for the informative video.... oooh that’s louder then my Ryobi 40v battery...😜. I just bought the 38cc Ryobi 16” chainsaw. Do you think it’s a good saw?

[@salviperez8068]

Good video 👍👍👍👍

[@andreawilliams3016]

Thank you! Very helpful- the “instructions” suck!

[@NKYDIY]

That is what I am here for! Thanks for the view!

One thing I want to know: is the cylinder bore chrome plated or just bare aluminum?

[@laurms444]

Just bought the 14-inch, my first chainsaw. Started up good but it ran at high idle until I triggered the throttle so the chain ran right after start up...is this normal?

Good video 👍

What year did this chainsaw come out in

[@sarahboudreaux1216]

If you turn it off and then want to start it again, to you prime it each time? The instructions say to, even if it’s warm, but my fiancé is saying not to.

can you help me with what the fuel mixture ratio is?

Robert Costello ok thanks i seen it when i opened the box

dakid_raqzz I hope I helped 👍🏼

[@trwilkinson4623]

@@robert_costello engines last longer at 40:1. Also more tolerant of slight discrepancies in mixing fuel. Runs cooler, if being used in higher ambient temperatures.

Why is it smoking when cutting? The bar oil is full. New chain. Gas full.

[@iwin2052]

I just run non ethenol fuel and use regular 2 stroke oil

Chain looks just a bit loose. But other than that good video.

[@Mixwell1983]

That chain is looser than my ex girlfriend.. tighten her up, otherwise good video. My Ryobi gas saw pops off like that pretty easy, I hear a lot of pro battery powered saw users etc complaining about gas tools but I used the premixed fuel without issues.. even threw a splash of fuel stabilizer in it and the saw sat for almost a year.. fired right up so I dont believe the bullshi and and as a bonus 2 stroke gas engine emissions smell good. At least thats what my son tells me but i remember as a kid enjoying the gas smelled when filling up the car so who knows😂

[@prestoneaster9175]

They only provided oil for me to mix it with the gas and they told me to put the oil in the chainsaw in that mix it in with the gas and I fucked up my chainsaw me I told them and they actually got me a new one provided a free one for me

[@DJ_ON_DEEN]

Mf tell me what has this hot use

[@altemose_prime]

Garbage. Worked three times. Won’t start. Threw it away. I actually threw out all my gas powered tools. Waste of money and time.
