Why is my GreenWorks GS 180 bar and chain running hot and smoking?
Your GreenWorks Chainsaw bar and chain might be running hot and smoking due to a chain tension that is too tight or because the chain oil tank is empty. Check the chain tension and loosen it if necessary. Also, check the oil tank and refill if needed.
What to do if my GreenWorks Chainsaw motor runs, but the chain is not rotating?
If the motor of your GreenWorks Chainsaw runs but the chain doesn't rotate, it could be due to several reasons. The chain tension might be too tight. Also, inspect the guide bar and chain assembly for damage. Remove the battery, side cover, bar, and chain to clean any debris. Then, reinsert the battery to check if the sprocket is spinning. If not, contact customer service at 1-855-470-4267.
Why my GreenWorks GS 180 does not start?
Your GreenWorks Chainsaw might not start because the battery is not charged. Place the battery in the charger for up to 1 hour (2Ah) or 2 hours (4Ah). If charging the battery doesn't resolve the issue, the switch may be defective. In this case, call customer service at 1-855-470-4267 for assistance with a service dealer or replacement parts.
What to do if my GreenWorks GS 180 motor runs, chain rotates but does not cut?
If your GreenWorks Chainsaw's motor runs and the chain rotates, but it doesn't cut, the chain may be dull and needs sharpening. Alternatively, the chain might be on backwards, so reverse its direction.
