    What to do if my Kobalt Pole Saw chain rotates but doesn't cut?

      If the motor of your Kobalt Pole Saw is running and the chain is rotating but not cutting, the issue might be a dull chain. Try replacing or sharpening the chain. Another possibility is that the chain is installed backwards. In this case, reinstall the chain, reversing its direction.

      If the motor of your Kobalt Pole Saw runs but the chain doesn't rotate, it might be that the chain isn't engaging the drive sprocket. Reinstall the chain, ensuring the drive links are fully seated on the drive sprocket. Another potential cause is that the chain tension is too tight. Re-tension the chain.
