The Ryobi RY40HPCW01K bundles the 40V HP brushless 18 in. chainsaw with a 6.0 Ah 40V battery and a rapid charger, giving buyers everything needed to get cutting out of the box. The brushless motor is rated equivalent to a 40cc gas engine and delivers roughly 90 cuts per charge with the included 6.0 Ah pack. An automatic oiler with a translucent reservoir and a tool-free chain tensioner keep maintenance simple in the field. A chain brake adds a critical safety layer during kickback. For buyers who already own 40V HP batteries, the tool-only RY40HPCW01B saves on upfront cost.
What is included in the RY40HPCW01K kit?
The kit includes the RY40HPCW01B 18 in. chainsaw, one 40V HP 6.0 Ah lithium-ion battery, and a 40V rapid charger. No additional purchases are needed to start cutting.
How many cuts can I get per charge with the included 6.0 Ah battery?
Ryobi rates approximately 90 cuts per charge through a 4 in. white oak when using the included 6.0 Ah 40V HP battery. Actual runtime will vary with wood species, bar condition, and chain sharpness.
What bar size does the RY40HPCW01K use?
The RY40HPCW01K comes with an 18 in. bar, positioned between the 16 in. RY40HPCW02B and the 20 in. RY40HPCW03B in the 40V HP chainsaw lineup.
