Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this chain fit other Ryobi saws?

No, the RAC282 is specifically engineered for the 15cm Ryobi RY18PS15A 18V ONE+ Pruning Saw.

How many drive links does this chain have?

The RAC282 chain features exactly 28 drive links.

How often should I replace the chain?

Replace the chain when you notice the tool requires more pressure to cut, produces sawdust instead of wood chips, or if the teeth are physically chipped.

What is the pitch of this chain?

This chain uses a 9.53mm (3/8 inch) low-profile pitch.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Generally, the adjustment mechanism on the RY18PS15A is built into the saw, requiring only the standard adjustment knob or a screwdriver depending on your specific unit's maintenance interface.

Troubleshooting

Chain is loose or sagging

Adjust the tensioning screw on the side of the saw until the chain is snug but can still move freely.

Saw is cutting to one side

This typically indicates the cutters are unevenly sharpened. Ensure the chain is installed correctly and not damaged on one side.

Excessive smoke during operation

Check the oil levels and ensure the lubrication port is not clogged with sawdust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility Check: Verify that your tool is specifically the Ryobi RY18PS15A 18V ONE+ Pruning Saw. This chain is not universal and will not fit other saw models.
Safety First: Remove the battery from the tool before attempting any chain maintenance or installation.
Installation: Loosen the side cover, remove the old chain, and loop the new RAC282 chain over the sprocket and bar. Ensure the cutter teeth are facing the correct direction—pointing away from the tool body on the top of the bar.
Tensioning: Tighten the chain tensioner until the chain sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand with slight resistance.
Maintenance: Regularly apply bar and chain oil to keep the chain cool. After each use, wipe away sap and debris with a dry cloth to prevent premature corrosion.
