I bought a Craftman electric chain saw about 3 years ago and have used it a couple of times each summer...maybe 5-10 hours of use in all. I was cutting up a tree in the back yard today when the saw just stopped cold. It was like the chain brake had engaged, but it hadn't. Nothing happens when I hit the switch, and the chain sprocket won't rotate at all. It's out of warranty, so before I bring it to Sears and have them tell me it will cost more to fix than I want to pay, I thought I'd ask for suggestions about how to fix it myself. Does someone have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!!
