        How do I change the sparkplug
        BySep 14, 2026
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Hello, Jimboj - We recommend the following steps to change the spark plug on the RY3818: - Allow the engine to cool completely. Removing a spark plug from a hot engine can cause damage. - Remove the air filter cover. - Using a wrench, turn the spark plug counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. - Install an exact replacement spark plug: Bosch WSR6F or Torch L7RTC, with a 0.025 in (0.64 mm) electrode gap. - Hand-thread the new spark plug clockwise to avoid cross-threading, then tighten securely with a wrench. - Replace the spark plug every 50 hours of operation or more frequently if necessary. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone at 1.800.525.2579, Monday - Friday from 9am to 6pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

            Can I remove the tip from this chainsaw?

            By|Oct 14, 2026

              Hello, Spf1983 - The safety tip should never be removed from this chainsaw. The safety tip nose guard on the guide bar helps prevent kickback. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question. You can also contact us by phone at 1.800.525.2579, Monday - Friday from 9am to 6pm (EST), or via email when you visit us at https://www.ryobitools.com/support/contact.

                  Absolute Junk
                  After light home use the pull cord and handle decided it no longer wanted to be a part of the chainsaw. Simply fell off and gone. Absolute junk even for home use. Why be in business if you are unable to manufacture a reliable product?! Better yet…why would Home Depot sell such an inferior product. I guessing customer loyalty isn’t an issue. That said, I need a new chainsaw. Safe bet to say not buying from Home Depot, again!

                    Great chainsaw for a beginner like me
                    I bought this as my 1st chainsaw after the Derecho destroyed more of Northwest Indiana and part of my maple tree came down. This saw was easy to set up and use and always started very easily. It performed well and cut through branches up to around 8" without issue. It's a great beginner chainsaw for someone who's never used one before like me.

                      Great little saw
                      We originally bought this Ryobi 18-in gas powered saw to do light work around or 1 acre property. Recently in a windstorm a giant chunk of one of our trees ripped off and this little Saw made short work of it. Even using it on other stuff on the original chain still cut through this entire tree with no issues I give it five stars

                        what a pain
                        I bought this chainsaw for small work around the house and it’s been a pain to get running right and cutting trees… the chain would have to get retightened after 4 mins of use and the bar stopped oiling itself too. don’t if they’re all like this but man it took me 3 hours just to get 4-5 logs

                        Hello, Dsp - We are disappointed to read about the issues you've had with your chainsaw. If you would, please reach out to us via our Rapid Repair page at https://ryobi.ryobitools.com/support/rapid-repair. RYOBIOutdoorTools
                          Reliable for Homeowners & Residential Tree Removal
                          I bought this Ryobi chainsaw last year after moving into our home because my insurance company required me to clear some trees near the house. I already use other Ryobi tools, so it was an easy choice. I’ve taken down about three trees so far, and it’s still running great this year. Performance & Handling: It starts up fine every time as long as you maintain it. It has no kickback, which makes it feel very safe for residential work. The lubrication works exactly as it should. I haven’t even had to sharpen the blades yet, though I’ll be doing that soon. Pro-Tips & Maintenance: Storage: Make sure you drain the gas before storing it over the winter. The "No-No": Do not stand it up on the blade/bar end! I made that mistake and the bar oil leaked out, so definitely store it flat. Usage: The manual states this is not for professional tree services or commercial use, so keep it for personal home jobs and it will last. Almost all my tools and lawn care gear come from Home Depot. If you want to see this saw and my other gear in action, check out my TikTok @PrimevalLogic! Key Highlights: Safety: Very stable with no kickback. Ease of Use: Perfect for clearing trees near the house. Reliability: Follow the storage tips and it starts like a champ.

                            Bad engine, Do not buy.
                            This chainsaw started up fine, ran about 30 minutes then stopped running and i could not get it started again. Checked and there was no spark. I exchanged it and the second one did the exact same thing. A search on the internet found this is a common problem. Both cut very smoothly and quickly when it was running. I ended up getting the Echo and so far so good.

                              Dangerously Cheap
                              The idea that Ryobi is not putting Loctite or pins on ALL of the nuts, bolts, or posts under the housing of a high vibration / high RPM machine like a chainsaw borders on criminal. Had one of the press fit pins holding the starter pawls come loose and pin and pawl got caught up in the flywheel assembly . Lucky the saw did not come apart in my hands. NOT GOOD. Dangerously bad in fact. More importantly though one has to consider how brands like Ryobi are bring things in under $300. The short answer is lots of molded plastic where metal should be. After disassembling things to figure out what went wrong you start to see all the places they cut corners with plastic and you see parts that are so worn they were about to fail soon anyway and so the pawl that came loose is only the first of many problems waiting in the wings. There's nothing affordable about a low cost tool that fails years before it should forcing you to repair/replace. You just end up spending what you should have on a proper Pro tool made by those brands who know what they are doing.
