If your Kobalt Chainsaw isn't working, it could be due to several reasons: a low battery capacity, in which case you should charge the battery pack; the chain brake may be engaged, so pull the chain kickback brake paddle backward toward the front handle; or the battery may be overheating, so wait for the battery to cool down before attempting to start the tool again.
Why does my Kobalt KCS 1040B-03 motor run but the chain does not rotate?
If the motor of your Kobalt Chainsaw runs but the chain doesn't rotate, it may be because the chain does not engage the drive sprocket. Reinstall the chain, ensuring that the drive links on the chain are fully seated on the sprocket. Alternatively, the chain tension might be too tight. In this case, re-tension the chain.
What to do if my Kobalt KCS 1040B-03 Chainsaw motor runs, chain rotates but does not cut?
If the motor of your Kobalt Chainsaw runs and the chain rotates but does not cut, it may be due to a dull chain. Replace or sharpen the chain. Another possibility is that the chain is on backwards. Reinstall the chain to reverse the direction of the chain.
What to do if the chain brake does not engage on my Kobalt KCS 1040B-03 Chainsaw?
If the chain brake on your Kobalt Chainsaw does not engage, it could be due to debris preventing full movement of the chain kickback brake paddle. Clean any debris from the external chain brake mechanism.
