      If the chain on your McGREGOR Chainsaw doesn't stop within 2 seconds after switching it off, there are several potential causes. The chain tension might be too slack or too tight, so check and adjust it accordingly. Also, check the oil tank level if the bar/chain appears hot or is smoking. Clean the oil hole and clear the groove around the edge of the chain bar if the oil hole is blocked. Finally, oil the guide bar sprocket nose.
