Chainsaw

[keithkarl2007]

Just broke the anti-kickback handle on my Husqvarna chainsaw. Was the first time i really used it. I locked it when i left it down still running and when i went to unlock it it broke leaving the brake still on the blade. Will it be a big job to get a new handle and get it fixed. Still can't believe how easily it broke.

There's not much to a chain saw. I would get out the wrenches and start breaking it down. How hard could it be? What's the worse that can happen...you put all the parts into a box and take the saw to a repair shop. I do that with my car all the time..try and fix it, I make the problem worse, then I need a tow truck! But..the mechanic seems to have no problem sorting out the bins of parts I took off.

when i do that i always wind up with "bonus parts".

Most saws are coming with more and more plastic parts on them. The handle should not be a problem, and a good repair shop may actually have one in stock. If not, it should not be that major of a problem, unless the user is not mechanically inclined.....The part probably can be ordered and replaced.

If it's new it should still have a warranty on it. Husky is usually pretty good about their stuff....at least here in the states.

Definitely contact the Husky manufactur and see if they are having similar problems with that model.
