Mounting nuts and spacers of blade A are interchangeable with that of blade B. Remove grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and other debris. Higher blade height is necessary for new or thick grass.
Even in hardwoods, the Greenworks saw was surprisingly powerful. That being said, if leaned on it too much the saw would easily bog down. However, letting the saw do the work and applying an appropriate level of downward pressure resulted in fast smooth cuts. Cordless chainsaws are making a big splash in the outdoor power equipment market especially with homeowners. For occasional use, these saws are an excellent choice for a couple of reasons including low maintenance, quieter use, and affordable pricing.
I’ve been working with computers for ages, starting with a multi-year stint in purchasing for a major IBM reseller in New York City before eventually landing at PCMag . I spent more than 14 years on staff, most recently as the director of operations for PC Labs, before hitting the freelance circuit as a contributing editor.

Exercise care in handling batteries to avoid shorting the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, keys, etc. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns if contact with said materials is made. Check with local codes and waste management for proper disposal instructions.
We’re not surprised by it and it’s no worse than we’re used to. If you only use your saw occasionally, you may want to empty the reservoir between jobs to keep it from leaking. The felt vibration is very low in Greenworks 60V PRO and results in less user fatigue. The quickness to full chain speed will surprise you if you are unfamiliar with cordless saws. The inertia activated chain brake itself is an outstanding safety feature. The brake system is ergonomic and contours around the hand while cutting, but does not interfere.
If you’re already a Greenworks household, you’ll be happy to know that this tool is compatible with the rest of their line of yard tools, though. Be sure to consider whether the lawnmower has swivel wheels. This is especially important if you have curved flower beds or gardens within your lawn, or if your lawn is an irregular shape. Turning self-propelled lawn mowers can be difficult, which is why having swivel wheels is an important feature.
The Settings and Position button opens a screen where you can manually create work schedules to have the mower come out at a certain time on specific days of the week. Or you can use the Scheduling Wizard to create a schedule based on your lawn size. Simply use the slider to tell the wizard how big your lawn area is, select day or night for preferred working hours, and the wizard will automatically create a schedule based on your input. Up to 60 minutes run-time with fully charged 4.0Ah battery. Run-time varies based on grass condition and operator technique.
On the other hand, if you have a sloped lawn, then a rear-wheel drive lawn mower is a better choice. The ease of use with the controls of the saw was a pleasant surprise. There is no additional on/off switch or mode selector. Simply insert a battery, pull the chain brake towards the rear of the saw, press the safety catch lever, then pull the trigger and start cutting. It is a very intuitive process and reminds me of using a traditional gas powered saw. This mower also offers the user the ability to control how fast the self-propelled function works.
