kansas,
don't listen to those guys, they either don't know what their talking about or their trying to make fun of you..
it's a simple process that should only take 5 minutes or so..... i'll walk you through it....
1-remove bar nuts, side cover (white),bar and chain
2-remove flywheel cover white with little slots), starter wrope assembly (note the little black box with wires coming out for future reference)
3-remove rear plastic cover orange, the one that covers the air filter)
4-remove sparkplug wire (black) from sparkplug
now your ready to go, to reset the onboard computer (remember the little black box?) you simply pull the throttle trigger 3 times (only 3)..
now, you should be able to grasp the brake handle firmly and pull to the rear of the saw, and yes you should hear a snap..if you do you've been successful,
now you can reassemble everything, but, you must make sure to do it in exactly the opposite order as you disassembled them..... this is the correct procedure to not cause future damage to you saw, the other guys left out some VERY important steps.......
good luck, and happy cutting....
edit;;; think of it as rebooting your wireless router or your vonage device, important steps must be taken
