The chain came off after less than 20 minutes of use. It would not fit back on the blade properly. I called customer service and I was 52 in line and after holding almost 5 minutes I was still at 51. Can you please ask some someone to call me.

Surprising Power!

I bought this saw to use in place of a gas saw that I have had for years. I wanted to try something a little quieter. I am very surprised at the power of this saw, and the run time on the 2.5Ah battery is great! Cant wait to get one of the 5Ah batteries to use with this product. I hope it last as long as my previous saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Saw cut nicely. Almost as noisy as a gas chain saw- I had to wear ear protection. Also saw was a bit too heavy with a 4 AH battery. Had about 20 minutes cutting time with 4 AH battery. Only had saw for a couple of weeks and one real cutting session. Hope it holds up. Way more convenient than a gas chain saw but not quite as powerful as equivalent 16" gas chain saw as it did " bog down " from time-to-time.

Very useful tool

I bought this saw a year ago to maintain trails on a heavily wooded 25-acre property in NW Minnesota. It has performed very well cutting standing trees and deadfall up to about 12" diameter or occasionally a little bigger and including hardwoods and pine. It's lightweight, quiet, starts easily, and shuts down immediately when binding occurs during a cut. One charge usually outlasts my will to saw: about an hour of steady work. I also have a GW 60-volt string trimmer for about 3 years and I've been happy with that tool as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tensioner is terrible

Hello JM Johnston,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble keeping the chain secure. Chains should always be tensioned before use. Be sure to check intermittently throughout each chore to make sure the chain is kept properly tensioned. A correctly tensioned chain should only pull away from the bar enough to fit a dime (10c) between the teeth and the bar. Do not tension a chain after you have finished using the tool. The hot metal expands; if the chain is tensioned when hot, then allowed to cool, the contracting metal could potentially damage the chain, the bar, and even the unit. Always wait until the next use (or at least until cooled) before tensioning.
We hope this information helps! If the issues persist, please give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 or submit an email at info@greenworkstools.com. We would be happy to look into other factors.

Product was defective. Had to return it. Customer service was awesome, though. Please note, I have purchased two more chainsaws from green Works and both of those turned out to be defective as well. Those were 80 V pros.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
