The brake is released and it's the original bar and chain.
I tried again but there is no movement at all even with the chain off I can't move the drive sprocket at all.
so thanks for your replies at least I know it's probably most if not all electric chainsaws will be the same.
I suppose...
I have a Makita UC3020A electric Chain saw.
My chain does not move freely on the bar so to sharpen it I have to remove it.
Is this normal for an electric corded Chain saw or is there something wrong?
It's a pain having to remove the chain to sharpen it.
Thanks for your help
Mike
