Ryobi OCS1830 18 V 30 cm Bar ONE+ Cordless Brushless Chain Saw

Product Information

As mentioned, the tool-less chain tensioning is a big plus, although all of the six cordless chainsaws that I tested have been designed with this feature. Just like the others, this one also has a claw stop, as well as ergonomic handles to improve the user experience. In terms of design features, there are a few that stand out. Firstly, the 30cm Oregon bar and chain . Anyone that’s familiar with chainsaws will know that this is a sign of great quality. Oregon chainsaw parts are very high-performance and are known for lasting the years, so it’s great that this machine is fitted with them.

For optimum performance and runtime, we would recommend using a 4.0Ah battery or higher with this tool Using a 5.0Ah battery (not included), the Ryobi OCS1830 can make up to 40 cuts on a single charge. This is a bare tool - battery and charger are not included. Features: Quieter than a petrol chainsaw, the 18V motor requires no maintenance, produces no emissions, and removes the need to store petrol. The mechanical and electrical chain brake ensures the chainsaw immediately stops running, if required, for improved user safety. To start with, I took the panel from the side of the chainsaw off by unwinding the plastic screw. It’s pretty tight, but that’s not a bad thing – you won’t need to worry about the cover falling off!Yes. Small particles can fly up during sawing. When these hit an eye they can cause permanent eye damage. That is why it always necessary to wear eye protection. The values shown are for reference purposes and may vary according to the workpiece materials and other operating conditions. Buyers of the Ryobi OCS1830 will get more use out of it if you have a spare battery to hand to swap over with, if this chainsaw dies while in use.

Write: DIY Garden (Harris Creative Ltd), Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA Assembling a cordless chainsaw isn’t too difficult, even if you’ve never used a chainsaw before. This Ryobi cordless chainsaw can be put together without any tools needed at all, which makes the process so simple. The Ryobi OCS1830 falls short with the length of time it holds a charge for. It can take a while to cut through branches and firewood. I found this chainsaw to be extremely easy to use for a couple of reasons. Firstly – its weight. At around 3.5kg , even with the battery in, this chainsaw is exceptionally light, which makes it so convenient to manoeuvre. I was able to climb into huge piles of debris and use the chainsaw in very awkward angles, which allowed me to get the job done so much faster.Ryobi products are always very distinctive with their green and grey colour palette, and, visually, this one fits perfectly into their ONE+ garden tool range. Home > Garden & Terrace > Chainsaws > Ryobi Chainsaws > Ryobi OCS1830 Chainsaw Manual Ryobi OCS1830 Chainsaw I managed to use it to cut up wood that was around 50cm in diameter. These were trunks that I previously used a petrol chainsaw for – although the Ryobi was a little slower, the end result was just as good. That said, don’t assume that this is a slow machine – its cutting speed is 10 m/s, which is faster than most of the other cordless chainsaws out there. The only faster one that I tested was the Makita.

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a chainsaw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

Optimaalisen tehon ja käyntiajan saavuttamiseksi suosittelemme käyttämään tämän työkalun kanssa vähintään 4.0 Ah:n akkua In terms of runtime, my 5.0aH battery gave me about 20 minutes . Ryobi claims that it should last for about 40 cuts, but this varies depending on what you’re cutting. If I had focused on smaller and lighter branches, then I would have probably been able to use the machine for closer to 30 minutes. However, since I was cutting large and dense trunks, this took the runtime down to about 20 minutes. When pulling up the chains by hand it should be able to lift up to just above or under the guide bar.As part of the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ system of over 200 cordless tools for the home, garden, automotive, crafting and much more, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ RCS1830-140B Cordless 30cm Brushless Chainsaw is perfect for cutting logs and branches, cutting firewood and so much more.

This product will run for varying lengths of time depending on the battery used. The runtimes are as follows: I was impressed with its charging time – it only took about an hour, which is on par with the Makita batteries that I also tested. All of the other cordless chainsaw batteries I used took much longer to charge. This machine is also a great size. Its 30cm bar makes it very versatile, while the body itself is relatively compact. It’s easy to get a firm grip on the handles, and the minimal vibration makes things more comfortable. Ryobi recommends using at least a 4.0aH battery with this 18V chainsaw. While it’ll work with smaller ONE+ batteries, your runtime wouldn’t be long enough to make it worth your while. So, since I had a fair bit of wood to get through, I went slightly larger with a 5.0aH battery.This cordless chainsaw falls in line with that. Yes, there are cheaper chainsaws out there, but they’re definitely not as good. Take into account this machine’s fast cutting speed and powerful motor and you’re getting a great deal . Granted, if you add on the cost of a battery and charger then this does push the price up significantly, but you’ll be able to save in this area if you already own other Ryobi ONE+ power tools.
