Greenworks 48V 16 in Cordless Chainsaw Kit — 2×4.0Ah Batteries, Brushless Motor & Dual-Port Charger

The Greenworks 48V 16" cordless chainsaw is a battery-powered cutting tool that delivers gas-like performance without fumes, including two 4.0Ah batteries and a dual-port charger for uninterrupted work.

Made for homeowners and light pros, this 48V kit pairs a 16-inch bar and chain with Greenworks' efficient brushless motor architecture to maximize torque, runtime, and service life. The package includes two 24V (48V when combined) 4.0Ah batteries, a dual-port charger, a protective scabbard, and clear operator instructions so you can get started quickly. Its electric drive eliminates gas maintenance chores while an automatic oiler and simple tensioning keep the chain in optimal condition.

How does this chainsaw compare to small gas saws for yard work?

It offers the convenience of cordless electric operation—no mixing fuel, spark plugs, or stalling—while providing power suited to routine pruning, limb trimming, and cutting small logs. Expect quieter operation and lower upkeep, with enough cutting capacity for most residential tasks.

• 16" bar cuts typical landscape and firewood duties
• Brushless motor for improved torque and runtime
• Automatic oiler keeps chain lubricated for longer life
• Two batteries included for extended run time between charges

How long will the batteries last and how fast do they recharge?

The twin 4.0Ah batteries supply extended run time compared with smaller cells, and the dual-port charger reduces downtime by recharging batteries in sequence or simultaneously depending on the charger load. Actual runtime depends on cut size and operator technique, but the pack is designed for multiple cuts on a single charge.

• Two 24V 4.0Ah batteries for longer continuous use
• Dual-port charger for faster turnaround between batteries
• Battery-power display (on pack) helps plan work sessions
• Fade-free lithium chemistry keeps power consistent until depleted

What maintenance is needed to keep the chainsaw running well?

Regular maintenance is straightforward: keep the chain sharp and tensioned, ensure the automatic oiler has fluid, and periodically clean saw vents and the bar groove. Because it’s an electric drive, there’s no carburetor or spark plug to service, which simplifies seasonal upkeep.

• Use easy-adjust tensioning to set chain tightness
• Refill the automatic oiler when low to protect the bar and chain
• Inspect and sharpen the chain as needed for clean cuts
• Store batteries separately in cool, dry conditions for longevity

Is the saw safe and easy for occasional users?

Designed with user-friendly controls like a push-button start, the saw reduces common startup errors and removes the hassles of gas engines. Basic safety practices—protective gloves, eye protection, and correct cutting stance—are still essential for every use.

• Push-button start replaces pull-start mechanics
• Includes protective scabbard for safe transport and storage
• Brushless motor contributes to predictable, smooth power delivery
• Compact 16" bar balances reach with maneuverability

Who is this for: The Greenworks 48V 16" cordless chainsaw kit is aimed at homeowners, property managers, and hobbyists who want a low-maintenance alternative to small gas saws. It’s a good fit for routine pruning, storm cleanup, and prepping small firewood; buyers seeking heavier professional felling capacity should evaluate larger commercial saws.
