    Scored a few logs of sweet gum. I was cutting them up with my electric chain saw and I think it busted.

    The chain or the motor?

    Not the chain or motor. It sounds like the motor still spins, but the chain stops moving once I try to cut. Something in the drivetrain, maybe? I haven't taken it apart. It's more than a year old, so I assume the warranty is expired.

    Edit: It's a two year warranty, but I can't find the receipt.

    Is there a safety brake that needs to be reset? Seems an unlikely thing in an electric, but I've never used one so I don't know.

    Had to break out my chainsaw over the weekend to modify a cork oak. I hate cutting down trees, but cork oaks sure are neat inside. If you end up replacing it, I've been very happy with my gas Poulon... it's been very reliable and wasn't all that expensive.

    I got a 16"... chainsaw. I took it apart and easily spotted the problem. The plastic drive gear is completely stripped. Seems to me like a terrible design flaw to use a plastic part in a place that will get hot.

    Yeah, I've got two cheapie 'Remington' chainsaws like that. If the oil isn't feeding and you're working it hard, those things will disintegrate themselves immediately.
