Greenworks Pro 80v 18" chainsaw

Purchased my 18" chainsaw a couple of years ago. Works great. I use it at the hunting club property and at home. Would recommend to everyone if looking to purchase battery operated chainsaw. Also have one of the 40v chainsaws and I recommend it also.
To be able to slide the battery in and immediately go to work cutting is great. No pull starts and fuel and fumes, just powerful cutting where you need it. I used this to trim several trees and the only issue I had was the chain was not tight enough, so I had to put it back on. Make sure you check before use and you won't have this problem. I let a buddy borrow it and he loved it so much he said he was going to get one since he couldn't get his gas one to even start!
When I received it the box was half opened I received it missing 1 chain guard nut missing, luckily I had one the fit, the tool was missing and also the chain oil cap had to rig a cap so I could use it.the equipment is great once I could use it.
I love it. I have several greenworks tools. However this is the second time pieces are missing. No tools and no oil cap on chainsaw. Poor quality control.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We apologize for any inconveniences this may cause and thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. We look forward to assisting you with this matter!
I am Pleased with the saw but not how I received it. Oiled it up and started cutting. On about the 3rd limb the chain comes off. Looked around and the back nut holding the bar on was almost 1/2 unscrewed. Looked for the chainsaw wrench and did not come with one. How cheap is that. Luckily it did no damage and no one got hurt. Put everything back together and cut fine. You would think quality control would check that and you would think a chainsaw would come with a wrench. Disappointed in GreenWorks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello NStratton
Thank you for your feedback! Sorry to hear that the unit is performing to your expectations. The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. Tension the chain so that it can only just be pulled away from the bar at its center point. Chains stretch with use. When new, they stretch more. The tension on a new or newish chain should be checked and tightened every 20 minutes of cutting or so, it can get away from you fast. This is normal stretching. Please note, it is not necessary to remove the chain cover to adjust the chain tension. Should you still require further assistance, we would be interested in hearing more about this issue. Please submit an email using the customer contact page on our website or give us a call at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS). All we ask that you have access to the unit so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
