Greenworks 40V 8-Inch Cordless Polesaw — 2.0Ah Kit, 11-ft Reach & Extendable Shaft

The Greenworks 40V 8-inch Cordless Polesaw (PS40B210) is a battery-powered, extendable tree-trimming tool that delivers quiet, emission-free cutting with an 11-foot maximum reach and a complete 2.0Ah battery and charger kit.

Built for homeowners who want a simpler, cleaner way to maintain trees and tall shrubs, this polesaw combines a compact 8-inch bar and chain with an extendable aluminum shaft so you can trim high branches without a ladder. The kit arrives ready to use with a 2.0Ah battery, charger, operator's manual, and a replacement chain, making it an easy addition to the Greenworks 40V lineup of outdoor equipment.

How far can I reach with this polesaw and what height can I safely trim?

The polesaw features a three-piece extendable shaft that extends to provide up to 9 feet of pole length, offering approximately an 11-foot maximum reach from the ground. This reach helps you access mid-level branches safely from the ground while reducing the need for ladders.

• Three-piece aluminum shaft extends for compact storage and extended reach
• 11-foot maximum reach measured from typical eye level
• Lighter-than-gas design reduces strain when holding overhead

What performance can I expect from the 8-inch bar and chain?

The 8-inch bar and chain is sized for pruning and limb-trimming rather than felling large trees, providing controlled cutting power for branches and canopy shaping. It starts instantly without gas or pull cords, and the automatic oiler maintains chain lubrication for consistent cutting performance.

• 8" bar and chain suited for pruning and small-to-medium limbs
• Automatic oiler for continuous chain lubrication and longer life
• Quick chain-tighten mechanism for on-the-job adjustments

How long does the battery last and is the battery compatible with other Greenworks tools?

This kit includes a 40V 2.0Ah lithium-ion battery designed for light-to-moderate pruning jobs; run time varies by branch size and cutting frequency. The battery is part of Greenworks' 40V ecosystem, so it can power other compatible tools in that platform for greater convenience.

• Includes 40V 2.0Ah battery and charger for immediate use
• Runtime depends on cutting intensity; ideal for routine pruning tasks
• Interchangeable with other Greenworks 40V tools for flexible use

What maintenance and safety steps should I follow when using this polesaw?

Maintenance is straightforward: keep the chain tensioned, refill the automatic oiler as needed, and replace the included spare chain when worn. For safety, use appropriate chainsaw protective gear and follow the manual's guidelines to reduce the risk of kickback and ensure stable overhead cutting.

• Use recommended Greenworks safety gear like helmet, chaps, and gloves
• Inspect and tighten the chain with the easy-adjust mechanism before use
• Top up bar oil, store battery in a cool dry place, and follow manual directions

Who is this for: The Greenworks PS40B210 is aimed at homeowners and property caretakers who want a low-maintenance, eco-friendlier alternative to gas-powered polesaws. It's ideal for trimming hedges, pruning limbs, and routine tree maintenance where quiet operation, ease of use, and ladder-free reach are priorities. If you need more heavy-duty cutting for large-diameter trees, consider a higher-capacity saw, but for everyday pruning and curb appeal upkeep, this polesaw provides a balanced mix of reach, convenience, and portability.
