  If your Remington chainsaw motor doesn't run when you squeeze the trigger, there are several potential causes: 1. Ensure the switch lockout is fully pushed forward to release the trigger. 2. Check the extension cord connections to make sure they are secure. 3. Inspect the line fuse or circuit breaker. 4. Worn out motor brushes may be the reason. Please, see authorized service center. 5. There may be an open wiring circuit on the saw. Please, see authorized service center.
