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

While using your Husqvarna 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.
