great saw - Keep sprocket clean!!!!!
So far an excellent saw. *Always* clean the sprocket, bar and power head when replacing the bar and tensioning and you'll have NO problems. Docked 3 tons of Ironbark - great.

Great unit, blade seemed to blunt a little quick for mine
Mechanically it is a great unit, maybe not suited to a camphor laurel stump. But very powerful unit. Easy to clean. I prefer this to the cordless which I used before as it seems more powerful.

Faulty design, the chain falls off
The chain tensioner doesnt work, the adjusting teeth arent deep enough and when in use it eventually loses its grip on the bar completely letting the chain fall off .
Though Bunnings gave me a full refund and I was able to buy a different brand

All it's Supposed to be
Purchased nearly 4 weeks ago to do a major lopping & cut down of some very large Yuccas. Cannot fault this unit, it has cut everything I've thrown at it. Being electric so easy to handle without having to worry about motors, petrol, oil and mixing the right measures - plug it in, get your protective gear on and away you go. Bunnings Northland for $149 + $11 1L Chain Oil = Bargain
Would get 5 star but the power chord plug sometimes would come out of the extension chord socket where it was plugged into - have used that extension chord plenty of times with other equipment and this is the first time that has happened.

WOW, WHAT A SURPRISE.
I purchased this Ryobi electric chainsaw from Bunnings in Glenorchy, Hobart for $139 with 4 year warranty..
I thought it would be ideal to use in conjunction with with my brilliant 51cc petrol Ryobi chainsaw for cutting firewood.
My plan was to use the electric saw for the smaller logs and branches whilst using the petrol for the bigger stuff.
Got it home, checked it over, adjusted the chain (dead simple,no tools) filled the bar oil tank then plugged it in to a heavy duty 25m extension lead.
I went straight to a 400mm dia gumtree that was f...Read more

Terrific chainsaw with enough power for big jobs
For $155 from Bunnings at Bankstown airport, the Ryobi RCS2340 is fantastic value and comes with a 4 year exchange warranty. Do comparison shopping for this saw as prices vary quite a lot. 2300 Watts, that is 3 hp, allowed me to rip with ease, 400 mm thick timber blanks for turning bowls. I used the saw continuously for two hours and it never even got warm! Whats more, the teeth are still sharp. The saw is virtually vibration free. The dogs make for good leverage and ease of use. Chain tensioning is simple and easy. A terrific safety feature is...Read more
INSTANT stopping when you release the trigger. The saw comes with crosscut sharpened teeth which make ripping a bit cumbersome as shavings clog the saw. Because the saw stops instantly, clearing shavings is easy and quick. I have a spare chain which I will sharpen as a ripping chain. You need to be/get good at sharpening because a new chain is $40. The product description is accurate and the manual very helpful for beginners. I summary, this saw has plenty of grunt, acceptable noise level, (I use the saw at the Strathfield Mens Shed (Sydney. NSW), good safety features and performs beyond what I expected. It does what a petrol chainsaw does for a tenth of the price.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The chain tensioner on mine repeatedly released under pressure allowing the chain to derail - I returned the saw to Bunnings Cannington and got a refund and bought a different brand .
I’m of the opinion it’s a design fault

Bunnings service counter will help with all Ryobi parts.
I came to the conclusion the tensioner has a design fault and releases under pressure, I got a refund and bought a Mikita instead

Is the speed control variable or just on off

A chainsaw should only be used at full throttle, electric or petrol.
Cutting with an electric chainsaw at low motor speed is not only damaging to the motor it is also very dangerous as it will be prone to grabbing and bucking, as is a petrol chainsaw.
This is why you must not use an extension cord over 20 meters, because of possible voltage drop.
flat out all the time is rubbish.
S***t!
I'm in trouble. I'm running my saw on 2x25m leads this weekend to slice up a fallen angophora down on the back fence and it's the diameter of a steering wheel!
