Greenworks 40V Cordless Brushless 14 in Chainsaw — Tool Only, Lightweight with Auto Oiler and Side Tension

The Greenworks 40V 14-inch cordless brushless chainsaw is a lightweight, gas-free tool that delivers near-gas power for cutting limbs, firewood, and light tree work — battery and charger sold separately.

If you need a compact saw that starts instantly and stays simple to maintain, this Greenworks model offers brushless motor efficiency, automatic bar lubrication, and tool-only convenience for homeowners and pros who already own compatible 40V batteries. The 14-inch bar balances cutting capacity and control, while the Pro-style side tensioning and transparent oil window reduce downtime and fuss. Built-in safety features and a three-year limited warranty add confidence for routine yard tasks.

How much cutting can I get from one battery charge?

Runtime depends on the battery you pair with the tool, but with a fully charged Greenworks 40V battery you can expect dozens of cuts on standard 4x4 lumber per charge. The brushless motor improves efficiency and torque, stretching each battery cycle compared with brushed designs.

• Estimated up to 75 cross-cuts on 4x4 lumber with a single charge (battery-dependent).
• Brushless motor for longer runtime and better power delivery.
• Tool-only format lets you choose battery capacity for longer sessions.

What size branches and trees can this 14-inch bar handle?

The 14-inch bar and chain cut through medium limbs and small trunks comfortably, making the saw suitable for pruning, limbing, and cutting firewood. It’s a good match for branches, storm cleanup, and trees roughly under 26 inches in diameter when making progressive cuts.

• Suitable for pruning and limb removal on residential properties.
• Capable of cutting through trunks and branches up to about 26 inches in staged cuts.
• Compact bar length improves maneuverability in tight spaces and on ladders.

How easy is maintenance and everyday use?

Greenworks designed this saw for minimal upkeep: side-mounted chain tensioning speeds adjustments and the automatic oiler keeps the chain lubricated during operation. The clear oil reservoir makes it quick to check fluid level, and the brushless motor reduces wear for fewer long-term service needs.

• Pro-style side chain tensioner for fast, tool-free adjustments.
• Automatic oiler with transparent window to monitor oil level.
• Instant electric start — no primer, choke, or pull cord required.

What safety features should I expect while cutting?

The saw includes an inertia-activated chain brake that helps stop the chain quickly during a sudden kickback, plus an ergonomic grip to improve control and reduce fatigue during longer cuts. These measures help make routine jobs safer without adding complexity.

• Inertia-activated chain brake reduces chain movement on kickback.
• Comfort grip improves handling and control for safer operation.
• Includes scabbard for blade protection during storage and transport.

Who is this for? The Greenworks 40V 14" cordless chainsaw (tool only) is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, and electric tool users who want a compact, low-maintenance alternative to small gas saws. It’s ideal for people who already own Greenworks 40V batteries or who prefer building a battery ecosystem rather than buying a bundled kit. Choose this model if you value instant starts, reduced vibration, and hassle-free upkeep for regular yard maintenance and light-duty cutting tasks.
