So here's the story with the saw..... It's only about 2 months old and was only used about 2 days and the chain stopped moving! The saw started and reved but the chain wouldn't budge but it never bogged down. I asked my son who was using it last and he said I dunno what happened??? I checked the brake and it wasn't on so I finally just had to split it and find out what was wrong with it.


I ended up finding that the wire was broke where it was soldered to the motor. I fixed it and it worked GREAT after it was all said and done.

Here is a pic of my youngest chopping down a tree in the back yard, even though he has a bad habit of holding his left hand on the bar.
