Chainsaw blade not turning

Hello there,

I’ve had my Dolmar PS-510 for just under a year now and the blade belt has stopped turning when the engine is on. Is this a major mechanical fault?

Hi Roland,

If you are able to start the engine without much problem and are only facing an issue when it comes to the chain not turning, it is almost certainly a problem with the clutch. Check your clutch pads for wear and if they have worn out, replace them with new ones and everything should be back to normal
