Thank you for this very informative video. I have a Greenworks and this is what happened to me. I can now go out today and cut down a few small trees and cut up a broken limb that I planned to get out of my pasture. Well explained and to the point, which are the best videos!
Very good , I was doing same mistake. I thought my chainsaws not working but when I pulled hand Protection it started working thanks for your instructions.
I had no idea it did this. I have a craftsman electric chain saw and it too did this and I was clueless until I watched your video. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, today, in July of 2021. I have a different brand, a 10-year-old Poulan electric, and I experienced the same thing. Your video is thoughtful and helpful. God bless!
Wow!! It also was the same puzzle to me with this brand new Milwaukee M18. I was getting ready to drive 85 miles to nearest dealer. Thank you so much, sir. IT WORKS!!!! So grateful you posted this!
I just got an electric chainsaw today. I’ve never used a chainsaw even though I grew up in “the sticks” and we used firewood all winter long (I guess my dad didn’t think is was right for a girl to operate one. Both my brothers learned 😕). I was so disappointed when I pushed the safty and the trigger and NOTHING HAPPENED! Thought dad was right😢. Couldn’t fine any reference to my problem until I found this! Watch out trees! I’m coming for you 😂 Thanks so much!!!
I was having issues with my Craftsman 18" electric chainsaw not starting. After viewing your video, I followed your guideline about the handle being in the safety position. After pulling it back, the chainsaw started. Thank you for helping me out.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! This was the only video I found that explained what was going on with the almost new makita electric chainsaw I have!
Never commanded on RU-vid before, but I really need to thank you for the info lol. We bought one from FB market place and we couldn’t make it work until I found your video.
Mate, thanks a million. I actually had the issue years back and forgot about the fix when my chainsaw would not start today. I also have a Ryobi! God bless you
I felt like you just saved the planet!!! I just made a purchase and thought I had a defective one. I came on RU-vid to figure out how to take it apart since it was allegedly ready to use. I have a WORX and I was like is it this simple since your Ryobi looks similar to mines. I had tried to move the handle but couldn't so my Dad had to show me how to hit it with just a bit more force to loosen it's grip since it was new. Worked like a charm. Now I feel like I didn't make a bad purchase. He always answers my prayers!
Thank you for creating this video! You saved me from making an embarrassing return trip to home depot! I bougjt a newer model and the manual does not mention the hand protector "lockout". I was going nuts! Works fine now...thanks again!
Thankyou so much for this video. Just opened my chainsaw which I brought ages ago but never used it. It had the same issue as you perfectly described. I was thinking of buying a new one but Im glad i found your video. Hope you get many more likes and views.
Thank you! I have a greenworks electric chainsaw and have operated it many times. Yesterday it stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. Apparently I've just always left the safety guard in the on position so had forgotten all about it. I must have bumped it into the locked position. Yay, now I can go back to spring clean up!
Omg- can’t thank you enough🙏🏽 I was about to dispose my electric chain saw as I assumed it was not working but after seeing your video, it was a revaluation. Even though it was a different model, the concept was the same.
Hey bro! You're a godsend! Same problem with a Trimtech 2000W! I had literally forgotten about that feature - haven't used the saw in years! Thanks so much - your video saved me tons of trouble!
LOL, Thank you for your video. I had my chainsaw for a year and it always started up. Yesterday I was cutting down a branch and my chainsaw stopped working. Somehow this safety hand protector had moved on me without me knowing. I was getting ready to buy a new chainsaw now I don't have too.
Mate you just saved me lots of time and money as I was about to open the chainsaw to see what the problem is. I just pulled the protector and work as it should. thanks for that.
Yea my black and decker electric chain saw wouldn't start this morning after watching your video it started up right away man I feel so stupid but thank you anyway.
Wow..wow...thanks for the brief but SOOOOO important video..it actually saved me from calling athe seller and giving him a piece of my uneducated immature mind!!!
Thank you so much. Ive been trying to get the motor running on my chainsaw and couldnt work it out. I work at a diy shop so l can put my customers right if its mentioned.
Hey thanks sooo much!! My Black & Decker fell to the ground in the garden and I was like - I've barely used it and its broken!! Goodled and your vid came up. Many thanks!!!
Thanks a million for posting this. I think the same thing happened to me about 7 years ago, when I last used my chainsaw 😬, but I’d forgotten the solution. Will try not to forget this time!
