I really enjoyed this saw. Great cuts, long lasting power, quick charging. The tensioner quit working after a few months. Long warranty odyssey resulted in a replacement after 6 months. Tensioner in the replacement failed after a few hours use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Doesn't appear to oil the chain. Have tried to clear out any obstruction to no avail. I wouldn't buy it again. Thankfully I have limited use for the saw. Now it needs a new chain.

Hello Bob1792,
Sorry to hear about your concerns. Try loosening the oil cap to reduce the built-up pressure. There's also a hole in the oil cap make sure that is clean and clear of debris. Run the bar/chain for a few mins prior to use and examine if oil is existing the area as needed. If you are still not getting oil, please contact us at 1-888-909-6757 or by email to info@greenworkstools.com for further assistance.
I bought this a month ago and absolutely love it! It has great balance and power! Its everything that I wanted in a chainsaw without the mess and smell from a gas power one.
Works great for maintaining the yard. Would be great if it came with it's own tool for tightening the chain and sharpening. Lightweight and easy to use. Had trouble at first because it came with a dead battery that wouldn't charge, but contacted custo.er service and they sent a replacement because it was under warranty. Definitely need a second battery if you plan on doing a lot of cuts and you are further away from a power source to recharge. This is where a gas saw is better
I've had the saw for a couple weeks and am satisfied overall. It cuts great, and is relatively easy to use once you get the hang of it. One complaint is that it sprays oil all over when in use and leaked bar oil all over my brand new garage floor as well as the foam handles when stored upright by the molded plastic storage hook. I recommend draining the oil after use and putting a piece of cardboard under it to catch the leaks.
This is my first electric chainsaw. I’m really happy with it. I wasn’t sure what to expect but it did the job really well, I cut down a decent size tree with it and chopped it all up. One thing I like about this one over my past 2 gas ones is that it is much easier to adjust the blade tension. Great product, real happy with it!
