To answer that question, you must ask yourself the following questions: What Do You Intend to Use the Chainsaw for?

It’s a weird issue, no doubt about it, but there are some explanations for that. Once you find the problem, all you need to do is replace the broken part, and you should be good to go. As you crank your chainsaw, the spark plug produces a spark that starts up the ignition process in the combustion engine inside it. And like any other component in the chainsaw, it can sometimes fail. When that happens, the engine can’t fire up because there’s no spark(duh!).

If it does, press it to reduce pressure in the engine’s combustion chamber. This will make it easier to start the chainsaw.
