Replacement Oregon Chain for GreenWorks 20312 DigiPro G-MAX 40V Li-Ion 16-Inch Cordless Chainsaw (9056)

Greenworks only seems to sell the replacement chain for the 20312 together with the bar. It took a little digging on Amazon but glad I found this replacement chain deal. I had used the original chain through 3 quarts of oil, sharpened it almost a dozen times. It finally gave out on me when I was being lazy and used the chainsaw on some exposed roots instead of grabbing my sawzall. Lesson learned, dirt will dull and misalign your chain just as quickly as hitting a rock.Thankfully I had the replacement chain on hand. Went on without a hitch. Nothing like cutting into wood with a new chain, so smooth. Took apart some fallen branches and still felt sharp. I decided to sharpen it anyway. Alignment was consistent, material took the edge well, very happy with this buy, will pick up another spare for when I inevitably do something to mess up this chain.

This little chain saw blade is an excellent choice for your GreenWorks battery-powered saw. Oregon has been in business for quite some time and is well known for manufacturing tree cutting products.This chain fits my GreenWorks saw perfectly. It stays sharp if used properly (keep away from rocks and dirt if you want it to stay sharp). Like all chain saw blades it stretches when new. Keep a sharp eye on the tension of the blade when sawing (especially during first use). You can either sharpen the blade yourself or have it done by a commercial hardware store or shop that sharpens saw blades. Make sure your saw is filled with chain oil, otherwise the chain will burn-through wood and dull very fast.

I thought I’d save a few bucks and buy the Oregon chain and not the one from Greenworks - big mistake. The chain wouldn’t fit into the slot on the blade in a couple of places. Turns out the were burs on the metal pieces that ride in the slot that were preventing it from fitting. I had to hand file several of them in order to get it to work, which was no easy feat.Once on it works fine and it’s good and sharp, it just required a lot of unnecessary of work to get it installed.Spend the extra money and buy the Greenworks chain.

Got this so I could sharpen two chains at once. Takes longer to drag out the HF electric grinder than to sharpen a chain. I can remove the lower limbs of about a dozen pinon before I have to resharpen.The first photo shows the chain on the Harbor Freight grinder and the second the chain case and cover before swapping chains. The chip accumulation is from one tank of chain oil. To date I've gone through over one gallon of chain oil.

The replacement chain fit perfectly in my Greenworks 20312 40v chainsaw. My old chain was getting dull and I noticed that it was having trouble cutting through wood. After I replaced it with this new chain, it was sharp like new again. Took about 10 minutes to change and I was ready to go.
