Greenworks 40V Brushless 16" Cordless Chainsaw with 4.0Ah Battery — 1.5 kW Motor, Oregon Bar

The Greenworks 40V 16" Brushless Cordless Chainsaw is a cordless, brushless-engineered cutting tool that delivers gas-comparable torque and runtime with a 16-inch Oregon bar and a 4.0Ah battery included.

This lightweight, low-maintenance chainsaw replaces messy gas mixing and pull cords with battery convenience and quieter operation. It pairs a brushless 1.5 kW motor with a 16" Oregon bar and chain, automatic oiler, tool-free tensioning, and safety features such as a chain brake and low-kickback design. Included are a 40V 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery and charger so you can start cutting out of the box. Below are concise answers to common buyer questions about performance, maintenance, safety, and fit for purpose.

How much cutting power does this chainsaw provide?

The brushless DigiPro motor delivers high torque while running more efficiently and with less vibration than brushed motors, letting it handle limbs, small trunks and firewood tasks. Rated to tackle wood up to roughly 28" in diameter when using proper technique, it performs like a gas saw for most homeowner jobs without the fumes.

• 1.5 kW brushless motor for improved torque and lifespan
• 16" Oregon bar and .0375 chain pitch for aggressive cutting
• Suitable for tree trimming, bucking, storm clean-up, and firewood
• Comparable low-noise operation versus gas models

What runtime and battery care should I expect?

The included 40V 4.0Ah lithium-ion battery provides extended run time for typical homeowner jobs and holds charge well in storage. Recharge only with the included Greenworks charger and store the battery at room temperature after cleaning debris off the pack to maximize life and safety.

• 40V 4.0Ah battery gives long cutting sessions for mid-size tasks
• Battery holds charge for months when stored properly
• Use only the supplied Greenworks charger; recharge at room temperature
• Remove battery before storage, keep away from heat and chemicals

How easy is it to maintain and keep safe?

Maintenance is minimal: automatic bar-and-chain oiler, transparent oil window, and tool-free chain tensioning reduce downtime. Safety features include a manual chain brake, low-kickback chain design, metal bucking spikes for control, and an ergonomic overmolded grip to reduce fatigue.

• Automatic oiler with flip-up cap and oil level window
• Tool-free chain tensioning for quick on-site adjustments
• Safety chain brake and low-kickback chain geometry
• Metal bucking spikes for secure cutting leverage
