    I just recently, had to get a Husqvarna chainsaw to clear vast areas of fallen trees due to the Cyclone storms here in NZ. Due to my inexperience with these awesome machines, I did this mistake while trying to clean & tighten the chainsaw. So! A huge thankyou for your experience & for the very clear & concise description on how to release the brake etc. Looking forwards to learning more from your site.👍

    I’ve been using a chainsaw for years, but never encountered this problem before. I could see what the problem was, but didn’t know how to get the little brake lever back in the other position. I was afraid I might break it. This solution came to mind, but that was when I went looking for help, which confirmed my understanding. 2 minutes later I was back in business!

    Thank you very much for this video. I couldn't get the cover on, so I searched for replacing the chain on a Husqvarna. I watched the manufacturer's video. They said that if you remove the cover with the chain brake forward, you have to take the saw to a dealer. Thankfully, I found your video. Thanks a lot!
