          Q:Is this Ryobi chainsaw single speed or variable? (either the 14" or 16")
          by|Jan 15, 2024
          1 Answer
          Answer This Question

          A:  Hello, Dave - Neither this 16" 40V chainsaw nor the 14" 40V chainsaw has a variable speed trigger. When starting the chainsaw, squeeze the switch trigger and allow the chainsaw to get up to full speed before entering the cut. We hope this helps!

                Q:Ryobi has authorized to replace my 16 chainsaw because it was less than two years old when it broke. So far it has taken them over seven weeks to replace my saw. Why is this?

                A:  Take it to your local Home Depot for and exchange or store credit. With receipt it would be easy, without a receipt you'll receive store credit.
