Good now - Bad start-up Experience

Love my Greenworks tools but had a serious challenge with the chainsaw out of the box. I took my time, reviewed the manual, put chain oil in, and charged the battery. The chain was tensioned well to start. On my second SMALL 2" limb cut to try out my new tool the chain jumped off the bar. I found the two bar nuts just finger tight at best. I hadn't touched them out of the box. Many of the lugs where the chain goes into the slot in the bar had been damaged by the drive gear in the fraction of a second where it jumped the bar and the saw stopped so it wouldn't go back in the slot. After grinding many damaged lugs with my Dremel I got it back on but it jumped out a second time (assume the damage wasn't cleaned well enough). Following another 1/2 hour of grinding the saw now works but was almost returned to you. More attention to tightening those bolts is needed prior to sale.
That said, it's nice to make a cut, set the tool down, and pick i up again not wondering whether it'll start again. I do, however check chain tension VERY frequently now. Hope the chain holds up after my needed repairs.

Chainsaw has more power than you would think. The 2 ah battery lasts ok but my lawnmower battery is 5ah and easily can finish any job

So far it has been working very well. Was received in good condition, just took almost a month to get it...

The saw runs good. It will do what you want it to do. The only draw back is the battery. If you run the saw hard, the 2.5 Amh bat does not last that long. Took 3 stop and charges to cut up a 25' black Walnut tree.
That's why I'm giving this product only 4 stars. Nothing wrong with the machine only battery consumption.

If you plan on using this saw heavy have 2 batteries.
Not sure why they don't sell them with a standard 2 batteries?

This Chainsaw Is An Incredible Value!

My partner and I have a roughly two-acre wooded lot with mixed pine, mostly lodgepole and ponderosa. I’ve used gas-powered chainsaws in the past, but didn’t like the hassle of mixing gas and oil, the noise, and the hard starting. Before purchasing my Greenworks Pro 60V 16-inch bar chainsaw, I was fortunate to be able to borrow 24V 14-inch bar and 80V 18-inch bar Greenworks saws from two friends. The knowledge I gained from using these two saws on general cleanup around the property led me to the Pro 60V 16-inch saw as the perfectly sized saw for my needs. The unit arrived well-packaged with everything needed to get started, including a small bottle of chain oil. The instruction manuals were easy to follow. The saw is super easy to operate and convenient to use. This saw has completely replaced the gas-powered saws in my tool shed! I produced a video review of the unboxing and a demo of the new saw on a 12-inch lodgepole that had recently blown down on the property.

Works as well if not better than a gas powered saw. I used it for medium home clean up and it performed beautifully.

I now have the Greenworks 60 volt weedeater, blower, hedge trimmer and chainsaw. They are all quality build, easy to setup & use. Great set of tools. I have not used the chainsaw yet, but slipped the battery in and fired it up. The other tools all get 5 stars and after using the chainsaw I expect the same, but since I haven't actually used it to saw, I got to go 4 stars until tested. Nothing like not having to mess with gas & oil, instant start and all the power you need.
