Totally saved my day!! First the chain came off. then I thought I messed up the brake was so frustrated I was getting ready to bring it to the repair shop..I owe you buddy!!!
The directions say nothing of what you described. Thank you so much for showing this. I went back to the saw and it did exactly what you demonstrated. Thank you again.
Two year old video, and still useful ☺️👍 Thank you for the video. I just bought an 18" Ryobi chainsaw and chopped down a tree. Whilst cleaning up the branches, the brake self activated. You saved me a trip to the big box store 😉👍 Thank you
My refurb unit came with the bar detached. I didn't notice that the break was engaged. I took the cover off to attach the bar but then the cover wouldn't go back on. Your short video saved me. Thanks !
Yeah, I have not used my chainsaw for about 2 years. I remember I struggled when I first got it but could not remember how to release the brake clutch. You were a big help, thank you.
My mother in law just gave me her Ryobi 3716, i had it running last weekend but niw it won't start. I think I have to replace the hand break bcuz it's stuck. Luckily Amazon has a lot of replacement parts for the Ryobi gas powered chainsaws
Never start your chain saw with your brake pushed backwards. As in a spinning chainsaw. Think of it as starting your lawn mower with your pto on. It won’t.
Thank you big time. I just bought my first ever chainsaw and it's used and I could not figure out why the chain was not moving when I gave it gas. I came across your video and now the chain moves Lol 😂. Beginners mistake
I did the same thing trying to take off the plate on the hot saw not a good idea. Then I had to watch the video because the manual was written be a moron. It said to look up the chain break under troubleshooting
OMG, thank you so much. Just screwed around with my same exact issue for about 15 minutes. I couldn't figure out why the brake was stuck.
Was going to carry my pretty new saw to the service center and this video saved me. Just add to add a little extra force and that's it. Thanks.

Jill Samer - you're welcome. The lack of understanding the owners manual is what lead me to make the video.
J G I thought the same thing Jill did. The instructions did not make this clear. Thank you for sharing.

Same here. Thank you.

The round brake thing to tight
This helped! I was banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out
I was getting ready to take it apart myself until I saw your video. Thanks for saving me a bunch of time!
Thank you! You probably save me a bunch of undoing nuts and bolts and things for nothing
this DID help. Showed I had to just use a little more force. Chainsaw now back in operation. Thanks
Saved me the effort of trying to disassemble! Thank you 🎉
JG! You're the man!! You just saved me a lot of time and headache with the 18" Ryobi C4618. Thanks!!
Thank you! I just got one and I felt like I was gonna break it if I pushed or pulled too hard on the brake lever piece. This video was very helpful!
Me too

Ha put you're purse down. That's exactly what I had to do. Thanks for the video man
Exactly what just happened to me and I took off the cover..... then youtube.... Thanks!
You’re supposed to engage the brake each time you put down the saw for safety.
You don't know what you don't know until you know.

Mines been stuck. I can’t figure out if it’s a bad clutch or the brake just won’t disengage
Have y’all never used a chain saw before ?? 😂😂
Thank you for the comment and view. That was my 1st time using one, and apparently, this video has helped out a few others.
Thanks
