The chain immediately falls off unless the blade is absolutely perfectly perpendicular to the limb you're cutting. So disappointed. I have half a dozen other 60v items I absolutely love, but I sadly do not recommend this products.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Brandon H,
Thank you for reaching out to us. We regret to hear that you do not recommend this product. We would recommend reviewing the tensioning steps as outlined in your instruction manual. Ensure the chain tensioner is tight enough to keep the bar from moving. Should you require further assistance, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
Would have been 5 stars but I feel it would have been better if the hedge trimmer pole was able to shorten or be removed to make it more like a regular hedge trimmer.
I was skeptical of battery powered tools. I bought the 60 volt blower and love it. I also have the weed eater and now the pole saw. All the tools work great and battery lasts as long as I need it to.
Overall I am pleased with the saw, but I do have one complaint. The chain pops off while cutting way too easily. I have plenty of experience cutting with a regular chainsaw, and I have never had a chain pop off until this saw. In order to keep it from popping off many times per use, the chain tension has to be tighter than normal. Other than that, the battery life is good, the weight distribution is good, and it is simple to use.
I was so excited when I received my chainsaw so quickly and I immediately unpacked it and sawed up a huge limb that had fallen in my yard. It cuts like butter and is so quiet. I can't wait to start cleaning up the rest of the place.
I have 4 of your products (mower,trimmer,blower, edger) and love them. If you are a female and do your own yardwork, these are the best tools ever. They are easy to use, not heavy at all, easily rechargeable and has a good battery life. Mower is easy to push and no backaches. Very pleased with the Greenworks products.
