Why won’t the chain move when the chainsaw is running?

While using your chainsaw, you may experience the chain not moving.

The most common causes for this issue are:

• The chainsaw chain brake is activated.
• The chain has been lubricated incorrectly, e.g. too much oil, wrong type of oil.
• The chainsaw chain might be jammed.
