This is a nice saw, but there is a bar oil issue

This saw has good balance, decent weight, and the battery does last fairly long, about 40 minutes on average of hard use so far. I have managed to overheat the battery and the tool shut off, so I pulled out my other saw to cut till the greeworks battery was cool enough to use again. I'm kinda confused that they don't seem to have any kind of cooling fan for the batteries, since it is possible to overheat them till the BMS shuts the battery down. The bar oil works great until you are done and don't drain the oil from the saw. If the saw sits at all with oil in it, the oil leaks out. I took the bar off to try and figure out what is going on, and I really don't see any reason why It would leak out. there is a rubber gasket on the green works saw to keep the oil from leaking, and its just plastic without a gasket on my other saw, yet my other saw has never leak a drop, and the green works saw will leak a whole tank out overnight. the dog teeth are metal and although not sharp out of the box, they can be sharpened with a file while on the saw for more grip on the logs to be cut. I'm not sure if it means anything coming from an engineering technician, but if the saw didn't leak, and the battery could keep from overheating, this would be a 5 star saw for the price and the features. now I'm wondering if I can mod the thing so it doesn't leak. thanks brain, I really don't have more time to dedicate to experimenting at the moment though.

I bought the Greenwoods 40V chainsaw in early July 2019, after reading the positive reviews and given my customer experience with a number of their other 40V tools. This is an excellent chainsaw...excellent performance, user experience, and value. I highly recommend this chainsaw.

Have used this saw three times in the last two weeks and it has worked flawlessly. I am surprised at the amount of power it has.So much easier to use than a gas powered saw. Battery powered equipment is the way to go!

The 2nd day after perchasing it we had two large trees go down in a microburst along our gravel road. I move as much to the side as possible with the tractor and then had to pull my new new Greenworks 14" chainsaw out and fired it up. No gas, no oil, no cranking. It did quick work on the tree trunks and was able to get the road cleared within minutes. Easy- peasy

This is my first ever chainsaw. I am a 63 year old woman.I wanted an electric, battery operated small chainsaw It is not too heavy, and works very well for my needs (cutting small bits of firewood, clearing field edges, processing kindling). The battery charge lasts about as long as I haven't had it long, but so far I'm pleased with my purchase.

Very pleased

Semi-professional+ tree cutter. I've used this when I had break-downs with gas powered saws. Performance has no comparison but this has been consistent and filled in many times - even if it means I can only get a one to two cuts in 30" wide rounds or 10 cuts in 12" rounds - I can do some other work while the battery is charging. No sudden unexpected freeze-up in cylinder of a gas saw which points to potentially a broken saw, no worry about spark plug, gas mix and gas. I also cut big woody portions of fruit trees with this.
I need to say this one thing as I know we have the populace uninformed: battery operated saws (and cars) are not directly related to burning gas but indirectly as in recharging electricity is produced often from burning of coal, natural gas and other such material, with some generated from renewable types of energy so do not assume it's 100% free from the use of fossil fuels and CO2 generation (not a big scare as many want you to think - take it from a scientist).

Great saw

I've had this saw for a few years now. It is my go to for yard cleanup. I have 5 acres of house/lawn and trees. It is pretty powerful overall and will cut through 16" logs if you don't get to crazy with it. I like that I don't have to mix 2 stroke. If I have big jobs I prefer my Stihl just because of the power and ease of refueling. I have only 1 battery and for the most part that's all I really need. I highly recommend this saw.

I wanted a battery powered chain saw and eventually purchased this saw after doing much research. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
