Here is a picture from a few months ago, before this Home Depot
Ryobi electric 8-inch chain saw (pole saw, pole pruner) broke:

We had used it on chapparal and on a treehouse limbing project:

We think we stripped the screw insert hole as the chain won't stay
and the tightening screw spins loosely now:

Do you think that might be covered by the 3-year warranty?
If not ...
Any suggestions for getting an exploded diagram of the parts?

Note: I'm not the owner, so, I don't have the model number of
the saw offhand; I'm just trying to help the owner who is inclined
to just throw it away for want of a screw thread...

The model is probably this $100 6-amp 8-inch pole saw:

If so, the model number is RY43160A.

Googling, I find it has a 3-year warranty and it is only a few months
old, so that's a good start.

I think here is a manual: http://manuals.ryobitools.com/documents/2881

Is "ereplacement parts" reputable?

Does this look like the chain adjustment assembly:

*I think that you should contact Ryobi, especially if there is a warranty involved. if the owner wants to throw it away, have him toss it in your direction and you fix it for yourself.
