A:  Open the grey flap on the side and then put the blade in

A:  I haven’t had that problem at all.  I assume that you have looked at the instructions and made sure it is inserted correctly.  If so, I would return to store and exchange it.  

A:  I've never had that happen but I would take it to the Home Depot service department and they are they best for knowing what to do. You may need a new one.

A:  No, it would probably fry the charger, you will need to step it down to 110v

A:  I'm not sure? But I'm a 75 year old woman and I can trim for a long time with no exhaustion. I have lots to trim in my yard. It works great.

A:  It sure maybe a couple of pounds and it also depends on what size of Ryobi battery you put on it.

A:  The weight is not in the owners manual, but the total weight is less than five pounds. It varies based on the blade being used and the amp hour battery being used. I'm guessing less than 3 lbs.

A:  Yes. Longer blades fit fine.

A:  There are many styles and size blades that can be used. We've had no problems in anything we use it for. Not sure the max cut but there is a reason they come in different lengths.

A:  8 inches

A:  I haven’t used it on a tree branch, but there is no reason it shouldn’t work.  There are various blade sizes.  The largest that I have is probably about 6”.

A:  Yes you can prune and cut down x mas trees but you need to buy longer blades. Bosch and Diablo and others sell 12 in. Blades for reciprocating saws.

A:  Works well as a pruning saw. Use up to 3 inches with an aggressive blade. Larger cuts need less teeth per inch. On larger cuts you should use a small chain saw to be efficient and save time and patience.

A:  Yes, this saw is great for cutting branches, roots and even tree trunks. It depends upon the length of blade you use as to the diameter that can be cut. I use Diablo "Pruning" blades in the 6" and 12" length and can easily cut one foot diameter logs.
