Greenworks 40V Chainsaw 40cm 1.8kW Gen II
Battery, compatible battery platform
Overview
The GD40CS18 is Greenworks' larger 40V domestic chainsaw, combining a 40cm bar with a 1.8kW brushless motor and 20m/s chain speed. It is better matched to regularly larger timber than the brand's 30–35cm options. The 180ml automatic-oiling reservoir supports longer work between refills. Greenworks sells both tool-only and battery-package versions, allowing existing 40V owners to avoid buying redundant batteries.
Best For
- Larger logs, substantial fallen branches and regular firewood processing at ground level.
