GreenWorks 20222 Electric Chainsaw
GreenWorks are still relatively new to the chainsaw scene but have proven to be a reputable player. They’re known for their sleek, green machinery and great outdoor power equipment performance. And, for those everyday light-to-medium size home or farm tasks, this electric chainsaw does not disappoint. This powerful saw is lightweight yet more robust than smaller chainsaws. It sports a 14-inch bar length and handles nicely for basic limb work and trimming, clearing bush, cutting firewood, and much more.
In addition, it’s friendly for novices, making it an all-around favorite in the mid-size chainsaws category. First-time users and experienced lumberjacks alike will appreciate the hassle-free control of the GreenWorks 20222 Electric Chainsaw. This mid-level saw has the secure, solid control of a larger chainsaw. The GreenWorks 20222 Electric Chainsaw has a tool-less chain tensioning system that helps maintain the correct tension. It features a quick tightening knob that secures the bar and chain, automatically controlling tension during operation.
The chain will naturally stretch out after initial use, so this is an important aspect to keep in mind. Adjust the tension regularly to ensure proper, efficient cutting and a long bar and chain life. A hot chain may become too tight when the chain cools down, so always be sure to check the tension before you use the saw rather than after. This chainsaw features a factory set automatic chain oiler that delivers a predetermined amount of oil to the chain.
In addition, an automatic oiler applies oil to the bar and chain to ensure durability and extend the life of the chain. The sturdy chain will stay in place even through thicker trees without problems. The oil reservoir is translucent to allow for a clear view of the oil level. Here’s a quieter saw than most, and your fellow neighbors or campers will love you for this fact alone.
As for handling, the full wrap-around handle presents a comfortable, ergonomically-friendly grip for cutting in many different orientations, allowing for less overall fatigue. The saw is very lightweight and super easy to handle at eight pounds. This chainsaw comes with the GreenWorks manual with clear, concise instructions and diagrams on how to assemble, troubleshoot, and maintain.
Even though this saw is for light to medium yard use, we found that as long as we take a little extra time, this saw performs surprisingly well on relatively large diameter tree trunks. All GreenWorks corded lawn tools are backed by a 4-year warranty. For all those lighter yard work or camping jobs, this saw is a durable little powerhouse that will not disappoint.
