An amazingly good tool!

This thing performed WAY above and beyond my expectations. When it arrived I took maybe 5 minutes to assemble it and fill the oil reservoir, then went right to work. First up was trimming the high branches on a mesquite tree also known as ironwood. With both poles attached and the pole nearest the chain saw fully extended, I was able to use all of my 6' frame and cut branches a good 12 or 13 feet off the ground. And not just skinny branches- this little gem cut through tough branches up to 5" in diameter. Lifting the weight of the saw on the end of the pole requires some upper body strength, as expected, but luckily the Marines made me tough in my 20s, and I've stayed in shape ever since. The cuts themselves were swift and effortless, since just the weight of the saw is ample to allow the blade to slice through the branch. One tip- as the saw nears the bottom of the branch and weight of the branch becomes too much for the remaining uncut wood to support, the bottom of the branch will tend to rip as the branch falls before the saw has completed it's cut. This results in a stump on the tree that is neither aesthetically pleasing nor healthy. The simple solution is to make a cut about a foot further from the trunk than you ultimately want the branch to end, then go back and cut off the last foo,t. Since there will be no branch weight pulling down the stump, the second cut will leave a smooth perfect end. And since the saw goes through even a thick branch in seconds, this is much less difficult than you may think. Also- watch out for the weight of the saw coming down at the end of the pole as the branch falls. Again, some upper body strength will be needed. Nothing an average guy in good condition can't handle, though. I cut down several dozen branches off of various mesquite and palo verde trees, maybe 60 or 70, then dragged them all into a pile. Once there, I converted the pole saw to a chain saw, snugged up the chain, and went to work slicing them into shorter lengths, suitable for loading onto a trailer for disposal. The chain saw is light, agile, and powerful. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the job it did. Even working in the 100 degree Arizona heat, I actually enjoyed the work. So much so, in fact, that I decided to completely removed a dying palo verde tree outside my fence. The chain saw was even more amazing for this job, slicing through the multiple trunks easily. Some of these trunk were about 10 inches in diameter, and none took more than ten seconds to completely cut through. Through all of this the automatic oiler worked flawlessly, keeping the blade lubricated while throwing only a tiny bit of oil (something that any chain saw will always do if properly lubed). My takeaway- if you're in the market for a corded chain saw, do not hesitate. Just hit Buy Now. You won't regret it! In fairness, I do have one CON to mention. On my particular saw, the automatic chain tensioner did not work at all. Looking at it, I cannot see how it could possibly tighten the chain. That would require some sort of spring loaded mechanism to automatically extend the chain bar, which this saw does not have. It can prevent the chain bar from retracting, but as the chain stretches, it will inevitably loosen. I do not consider this a reason to deduct a star, however, since manually tightening the chain every 10 or 15 cuts kept everything working flawlessly. Snugging the chain is pretty simple- just loosen the big orange knob that holds the chain bar in place and hold the (unplugged!) saw by the chain bar, with the motor part hanging down. The weight of the saw will pull the chain to the perfect tension, and with your free hand you can tighten the orange knob again. Takes maybe ten seconds.

Solid connection with this Chain Saw

This saw has delivered. It cuts through 3-4" diameter branches with no problem. Cutting pampas grass does pull some live grass into the chain / interior, requiring occasional breaks to stop and pull it all out. The chain saw attaches / detaches from the pole easily, and is very rigid when attached. It is a bit of a workout, especially if you are using it to cut parallel to the ground. As mentioned in other reviews if you can rest the saw blade on the branch you are cutting, the weight is much more manageable. The chain oil reservoir seems to be tight/leak free, which hasn't been the case with other chain saws I've owned, so I'm glad of that.

Way more powerful than I thought it would be ...

This saw is incredible. I can't even explain how far beyond expectations this is. I expected that this was only going to be good for really small branches, but I was wrong. After doing a few that were small, I moved back towards bigger and bigger ones until I ended up cutting the entire oak branch off. I had to cut from both sides due to the width, but it did amazingly well. It's pretty light weight for how powerful it is. Absolutely love it !!

Great product

I have a 14 inch WORX electric chainsaw that I've used a few years that I'm very happy with the quality and ease of operation so going with another WORX product was an easy decision. The pole itself feels like high quality and is easy to extend and lockdown to full extension and there is nothing frustrating for me about attaching the saw itself it in a secure manner. Trigger itself is responsive and the saw cuts through 4-5" limbs in a couple of seconds. If you've never used a pole saw before a few words of caution. When a cut is complete and the limb or branch begins to fall the pole itself will also start falling towards the ground. You have to quickly "catch" the pole with your left hand to prevent the saw from crashing to the ground. When you are catching the pole the right hand will more of less be instinctively release from the trigger--so it's not like you're going to be trying to catch a operating saw and you'll be grabbing the pole a couple feet below the saw anyway, but you'll still need to have a degree of alertness and physical ability to execute this movement. I wouldn't recommend using the pole trimmer if you're tired or done something physically strenuous beforehand. I'm a larger man who has reasonable lifting ability, so the tool doesn't feel overly heavy certainly, but I could see some difficulty for a smaller or less physically fit person operating it. Also, don't get "greedy" if a limb seems just out of reach. I will hold the tool sometimes so that the trigger is at my head level to try to get to high branches--which I think the instructions don't recommend, but after briefly considering it, I would never use a ladder to get additional height--the risk of toppling over when trying to catch the pole are simply too much. Hiring a professional to get the stuff this tool can't reach is expensive, but certainly cheaper than a trip to the ER--don't take unnecessary chances. After your high cutting is done, the saw can be detached from the pole and used to further cut up the limbs. Make no mistake--it's a hot little saw--no toy. I've learned that the key to keeping it working like new is to be rigorous about keeping it clean. I remove the sprocket cover (removable by hand) and use a leaf blower to clear out caked on, oily sawdust, and then use a couple of stiff brushes to further clean the sprocket and bar. The tool is easy to put back together. As long as oil freely lubes the chain the tool functions great. Don't forget to to replace or have the chain sharpened if the cuts seem to be taking a bit longer than normal. I also frequently check the oil if I'm using for more than a few minutes. I don't review most of my Amazon purchases, but I think this tool is a very well designed and functional product at a great price. Very pleased.

My first piece of garden/yard equipment and I just got it today!

Let me tell you. I'm not a yard work person. I just bought a house and its needing some attention in the empty lot next door that is part of the property. It shipped quickly and arrived to me the next day. The chain was already on the bar. The only thing you needed to do is open the box, open up the oiler and pour oil in. I took a 50 foot extension cord and ran it from inside my house to outside then hooked up another 100 foot extension cord. I haven't had any issue in the over 2 hours of using it. I'm cutting down trees 8 - 16 inches wide down without any problems. The pole is very easy to use and if you think 10lbs is heavy, it's surprisingly not that bad. You can use the weight on the pole to let the saw do its job of cutting rather than trying to force the tool down on the work. You'll feel, hear and see it making progress then you can hold a firm grip in anticipation of it about to drop the overhead branch. In about 2 hours, I ran out of oil once and noticed the cutting seemed rougher. I filled it back up and it started running great so I'm thinking its about 90 - 120 minutes of oil per tank depending on how big you're cutting. I was running it pretty consistently over those 2 hours. I'm not abusing the tool but I'm not being light on it. I fed the tool a pretty decent lunch over 2 hours and honestly, I'm pretty impressed. The "no brainer" setup and install made it worth it because I was anticipating installing the chain. The tensioner automatically keeps it tight. I'd stop every few cuts to check it and it was tight. The only thing that a person might have a problem with is a branch might pinch the bar so you might have to make V cuts then clean up the V to make it more visually appealing. This will prevent pinching the bar which might freak you out if you're making all this progress and all the sudden feel like you're stuck. If you take your time, look and sorta find where you can make cuts you can make this work very good for you. I'm very happy with this purchase and will look at other WORX products after doing my research. Trust me, I have a variety of power tools for working on vehicles and with my various hobbies. I know tools. I'm pleasantly surprised with WORX and glad I went with this over the SunJoe angled saw because this has a saw you can use without the pole. SunJoe's pole saw is pole saw only, not a "two in one" type thing like this where the pole can be removed and you can use it like a traditional chainsaw. I ran this tool all Easter weekend with Friday off and even let a limb bend the pole but the chainsaw never failed. You might bump the chain off the bar but for the most part, the auto tension works great! When you refill your oil to continue, take the cover off and wipe all the dead tree carcass out from inside the saw or blow it with some compressed air. Even a paint brush will work. Honestly if you have a camphor tree like I have, go with a 12 or 16 inch bar rather than the 10. The 10 is basically something bigger and more powerful than a hedge trimmer. But like with any tool, with enough thought and knowing the limit of your tool you can drop multiple 40+ foot branches of a camphor tree like I did very easily. All my gas powered chainsaw friends are all sorta interested in a small "no nonsense just starts up everytime" option like this now since I turned them onto the Worx brand. These are before and after photos. I'm going to drop probably the rest of the sections of the camphor on another weekend once I clean everything up. I think this 10" Worx electric chainsaw will be my portable chainsaw I keep in my truck to take to people's houses and property for cleanup or to cut up some wood. I think at home and in the garage, it'll serve the typical purpose but also as an alternative to a sawzaw for cutting up pallets because I hate reciprocation (ask the girls I dated) rattling you with a tool depending on what you're cutting.

Just an excellent product, delivered better than I expected.

Absolutely perfect, what else can I say for 90 Dollars. I can't even imagine how anybody (even in China) could engineer such a nice working product, produce it, ship it, store it, sell it, ship it again and actually make a decent profit?? In any case, I did not buy this saw because I have 50 huge trees to cut, but because I have three small trees in the garden that need trimming and one of the cutting all the way down. I thought that if it lasts for all this, I saved myself a tree service company to come and do it for me for 600 dollars. In any case, I am done with my projects after two weekends and the saw works like new. Just absolutely perfect. Yes, it has a good weight, but that is part of the reason why it is such a well produced product that does not brake down after 2 hours of use. The chain tightens as described in the manual. I would say not fully automated, but works well. In order to get the perfect tension on the chain, I had to pull the blade just very slightly back before tightening the knob on the side. But I guess if you never worked with a chain saw before and cannot read the manual, you should probably not get one in the first place. I would say, if you have trouble figuring this one out, ask you neighbor who has a chain saw to help you set it up correctly, it is very easy to do. I love it, and can only say good things about it. I even sharpened the chain once now and it cuts better than new. An excellent product for small and medium work (I cut a 14 inch tree stump down with it, no problem), even though I would probably not use it if I would be a lumber jack working on wood all day long every day. If mine ever brakes down, for that price, I will just order another one. I saved already over 500 dollars..... Any negative feedback you read here, must be from people who don't know what they are doing or from someone who ordered a chain saw by accident, wanting to get a face lift...lol

Much cut! Very power! Wow!

This thing is deceiving. It looks like a miniature American Girl sized chain saw with its ten inch blade. So when I went to attempt to fell a five thousand pound oak tree, I didn’t expect much to happen. The problem was the chainsaw tore through the tree so incredibly quickly I barely had time to make sure I had notched the tree correctly to ensure it fell in a safe direction. Fortunately it all worked out, but I was extremely surprised by how efficient and powerful this saw is. It’s incredibly lightweight, and great for smaller people like my wife or myself. The biggest issue is the bar size. At a mere ten inches, that doesn’t leave much options for cutting trees with trunks often ranging fifteen to thirty inches in diameter. Still, if you plan your cut carefully, you can could probably drop a fifty year old oak tree. Finally, since the saw is designed to be compact, the short bar and blade is obviously intentional. And the saw isn’t technically made for anything bigger than pruning. It just happens to be powerful enough to do more. After three hours of use, I can tell you that this saw will not disappoint. It’s far quieter than most, cuts like butter, is lightweight, easy to adjust, and is FUN to use. For the price you cannot beat this machine.

WORKX WG309 Electric Pole Saw

Fantastic performance! Wow, had to cut a bunch of tree limbs from some very large trees. Worried that the chainsaw would be unable to cut completely through some 6 - 7 inch diameter branches - wow was I wrong. It cut through like a knife through warm butter. When using fully extended on the pole - it's surprisingly sturdy, making it easy to pin-point the branches I want to cut down. It is heavy. After cutting 1- or 12 branches that were right at 10 feet above the ground, I could feel the weight. This saw is very nicely built, easy to set up and use, and balances nicely when cutting. Highly recommended.

Way better than I expected.

So I put this little saw through its paces and it definitely works well. In 1day I used it to take out some overgrown evergreen shrubs then trimmed some pine trees, cut down a pesky birch tree and finished with some super tuff oak and maple limbs. The saw does need chain oil which is not included. The chain needs to be tightened before the first use, simply turn the bright orange knob and you're good. The chain did come off once but it was due to hard wet oak and all that was needed was to loosen the tension, reseat the chain and tighten again. The instruction book could have been easier to understand. The saw is very easy to use and figure out but the book was a little confusing. Yes the saw is top heavy on the poll. Anyone who understands physics should know an 8 pound saw on an 8 foot poll is going to be heavy. However the saw's own weght can push it down through the limbs. Just be careful to know your limits and not let the saw fall when it cuts through. I had it on and off the poll all day with jo major issues. It paid for itself already.

Amazing pole saw/chain saw!

This thing is awesome... Regardless of what people say I have extended this thing to its fullest length with no issues. While it is "heavy" at that length, it still works. Few things: 1. BUY CHAIN OIL... It does not include it, and don't expect it to. Without it things will get clogged quickly! 2. Make sure you cut properly. Improper cutting will make the chain come off. Even still it can be placed back on without to many issues. 3. Extension cords... Ive got a big property... I had to chain up a few extension cords to get to my corners of my lot... Seriously though this thing is worth its weight in gold. With what I have already cut and trimmed, and TIMBER! It has payed for itself at least 5 times over. Now to look into a chipper... Because I got some big piles of limbs and leaves!
