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.
Chain is constantly coming loose within minutes of tightening.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
I bought this a month ago. Used it on a 8” tree. I’m very pleased with its power and ability to handle the green wood. I also have the 60v lawnmower which I absolutely love. And the batteries are interchangeable.
I have been completely skeptical of battery chainsaws. It just seems like an oxymoron. But this 60v saw has turned me entirely about. I've now sold my 16" gas saw. No more weight, pull starts, gas spills, repairs, carburetor rebuilds, ear-splitting noise. No more. Now, I just pick it up and get the work done. So sweet. :-)
This is my first chainsaw. I'm not comfortable with power tools and never trusted myself to buy a chainsaw. I bought this after reading many positive reviews. I couldn't be happier, as it's powerful, easy to use, and I feel safe with it. I've used it so far to cut down and cut up some saplings, maybe up to 3 or 4" - not a hint of a problem. This has saved me so much time and sweat from doing this work with hand saws, I wish I'd discovered this earlier.
I bought a 40 volt Greenworks chain saw for around home use, it did everything i wanted it to do, my gas chain saw went bad and i purchased the 60 volt Green works chain saw what a great buy cut down trees at the cabin up north did a fantastic job ,cannot say how please i am with this purchase and would recammend it to anyone asked about it.
