Please don't tell me to get a "Real" chainsaw. The Makita 4030a 16" Electric Chainsaw is regarded to be a good chainsaw. I only use the saw once in a while at home for cutting down bowl blanks for turning, and do not want the maintenance associated with gas motors.
The motor runs, chain is new, on in the right direction, but when you start to cut, the motor keeps running, but the chain stops, like the clutch is slipping.
I am not putting too much pressure, the weight of the saw alone can make it slip.
Is there any simple thing that might be wrong. I see lots of videos and articles about replacing clutch's on gas chainsaws, but none on the Makita 4030a 16" Electric Chainsaw.
Thanks,
Tony
