Ryobi 18V 10" Chainsaw: How to Replace & Tension Chain Correctly (Step-by-Step)
Is your Ryobi 18V 10-inch chainsaw struggling or cutting slow? In today's video at TOOLSPECS, I’m showing you exactly how to replace the chain and properly tension it on the Ryobi 18V One+ 10" Chainsaw (P25013BTLVNM).
As a Licensed Mechanic, I’ll walk you through the technical specs you need to know—including the drive, pitch, and gauge—so you can find the right replacement even if you don't buy the official Ryobi RY10C1 brand.
What we cover:
● The Right Parts: How to read the specs directly off your guide bar.
● Teardown: Removing the 13mm nut and cleaning the housing for longevity.
● Directional Check: How to identify the arrow on the silver cutters so you don't install it backward.
● The "Pin" Trick: Aligning the guide pin with the bar for a perfect fit.
● Tensioning: Finding the "sweet spot" so the chain doesn't bind or fly off.
