Tensioning problems caused frustration

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit for pruning of small tree branches. I was quite disappointed at how the chain quickly dulled ( or failed to cut). However the more significant problem was tensioning. After about 20 seconds of use, the chain was loose. When trying to use the adjustment knob, it would lock up after a few clicks. Then I would have to unscrew it, reset the chain/bar assembly, and tension it. After another minute, I had the same problem and had to redo the whole process. My cheap 4" hand chainsaw was outperforming this one. I was sadly disappointed.
Pros: Cost-Saver, Quiet

Hello Grampa Tim. We are sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate your feedback. It sounds like you ran into issues with both chain sharpness and tensioning. For your Greenworks 24V 10" Cordless Chainsaw, the adjustment knob can lock up if the side cover locking knob is not loosened enough or if debris is preventing the tensioner from moving freely. To fix this, make sure the outer locking knob is loose before adjusting, and clean the bar groove, tensioner screw, and sprocket area. Applying a little oil can help prevent future sticking. We also recommend checking the chain often and keeping it lubricated for best performance. For guidance, please see our Assembly and Operator Guide video. If you need further assistance, our team is here to help, call 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or start a Live Chat on the Greenworks Tools website.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i received this product, charged the battery and was eager to try it out. It worked for about 10 seconds and stopped and would not start again, Very disappointed with the product. Will try again tomorrow to see if it works.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this combo product and it worked great. Trimmed 6” branches with ease. The chain did come off but was able to put it back on with ease. Just remember, the chain go in one direction. It is a little heave but the steaks help a lot. The hedge trimmer worked great as well.
Perfect size for clearing branches, limbs, and small trees. Light but power

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used the first time dat and was very impressed. Does great for it's light weight and small size. Ease to handle.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been pretty happy with the chainsaw but it's tensioner mechanism is weak. Whatever component is supposed to keep the chain tight doesn't work anymore. I found a replacement for almost half the price of the saw. I'll probably try to find a more reliable tool. I bought it to use the same battery as my pole saw. I'm quite happy with it. This one is a bit of a disappointment.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use
