How to Reset the Chain Brake on a Chainsaw | Husqvarna

[@lyallbaybum69]

Thanks for a quick, no bullshit explanation and demonstration bro.

[@glennvernes8305]

A video on how to modify the scrench tool would be great.

[@zombaezombae1560]

Just cut little notches out with a dremel and metal cutting blade or grind them out with something. Or Just use a screwdriver and pry it down with leverage off of the little inside trim under the piece that is supposed to be down thats what i did.

[@stubby1122]

Thank you , very helpful and yes I took it apart with the brake on.

[@craigphillips9383]

What about on the t540 xp ? They don't have the same mechanism to twist?

[@loveeveryone8057]

Thank you...short.....sweet.....and to the point!!

[@busterservicks726]

Thank you very much, Sir! This is why I love KZbin videos!

[@firefighterexperienc]

Fantastic I had this problem today due to my lack of knowledge and experience... I now see why there are cut outs on the spark plug spanner... so you can rest the brake... thanks again....

[@burtking4270]

Great video -- too bad my pos husqvarna didn't come with that tool.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

Just use a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

[@rhodieranger2874]

@@Steven-gv1keyou saved me some trouble, thank you.

[@83glacius]

yeah!

[@Spiffy35]

​@@Steven-gv1ke I chose the largest tooth. Worked out great! Don't recommend doing this with an open container nearby. Since the cover flew out of my hands after popping in place and spilt my beer!

[@PositiveCraftPA]

@@Steven-gv1keI used a tiny wrench to span the single tooth on the sprocket and got it to work also I chipped the housing with the 9/16 lol oops

[@JohnNyerges]

Thanks, excellent and to the point.

[@annievance8073]

The scrench that came with my dad's 445 doesn't have the grooves in the large end shown in this video. Do you sell these screnches seperately? My dad needs to reset his chain brake but we don't have the tool.

[@RobertResearchRadios]

I converted mine with a file.

[@shannonpeacock3509]

Shouldn’t be showing off with a tool that’s not included. Why aren’t they supplied with the saw.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

​@@RobertResearchRadios you can also just use a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

[@JellyKidBiz]

I used a 9/16" wrench, but I inserted it at an angle and turned. (I found I had to turn mine counter-clockwise to get it unstuck.) It didn't take much pressure at all, and I'm a 124 lb stay-at-home mom. Just popped right out.

[@wildbill-o6o]

Older saws just have a pointed lever. I used needle nose Vise Grip pliers and snapped it back. Thanks!!

[@kennyplay5982]

Awesome thank you. Years ago, this happened, had to take to shop. not anymore

[@robchandler755]

Special tool!

[@RobertResearchRadios]

Please sell the chainsaw with this wrench instead of the one without the grooves to turn the brake reset.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

[@theamerican7080]

Please sell a saw with a proper design brake.

[@kelvinsparks4651]

I just bought a 435 and the tool came with it .

[@casshern86]

Thank You.

[@traylaitken-cade6112]

Awesome 👌 thanks

[@larryhutchens7593]

Hey there lumberjack, really neat idea there and it looks like it works really well but one problem, where the hell does one get that tool?

[@granitegreg7883]

I just inherited my wife’s dad’s old 460 rancher a week ago and the brake won’t engage at all, any tips for fixing that so it works properly?

[@cathjohnstone1658]

Thanks fixed problem

[@posiden3399]

My problem is that I have a Greenworks electric chainsaw. Darn if I can figure out how to get to the chain brake.

[@LuboTaro]

Hello just want to ask I have e240 Husqvarna and clutch cover got bad can I replace for 240clutch cover .Anybody know ?? Thanks for helping !

[@richardhatfield915]

Thank you

[@Steven-gv1ke]

You don't have to have this tool. Just use a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

[@barrellcooper6490]

I need this before I took things apart. LoL Now I'm trying to figure out how to compress the spring and get it back into place.

[@theamerican7080]

@@barrellcooper6490 Throw it out and get a new brake cover before you tear your hair out and throw the saw in the river.

[@jckmisha]

You win the internet today, thank you!!

[@Peter-od7op]

You should make a vdo on this great idea

[@wyliehj]

Make a video for this on the 545 mk2 pls because I can’t figure it out

[@dwarven1]

Would have been nice to mention you had a special wrench for this.

[@topsiekretts1250]

Please, I need help with this thing.

[@jpguzman924]

Echo is impossible to do this with? Great design, echo failed miserably

[@buddybrowne2508]

The cover was stuck & I couldn't get it off with the brake on nor could I get it to unlock conventionally. I want to launch this saw in a trebuchet.

[@robertgaritano7718]

I need that tool. Have a link?

[@Steven-gv1ke]

You don't need that tool. Just use a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

[@robertgaritano7718]

@@Steven-gv1ke I actually bought one on amazon. But yes I was able to use a wrench also.

[@Romans--bo7br]

I just made 3 "cutouts" where each of the three tabs would fit, out of an old, spare chainsaw spark plug tool - works just like what you see here, in the video.

[@kinesislogos3287]

How to do when the lid is still on....?

[@adaptadept]

Mine came with this exact squrench

[@larryhutchens7593]

No one in the state of Oklahoma seems to have that tool, what the hell is the deal? Is this damn thing built in Europe?

[@acavals8080]

Oh god I wish I've seen this video before...

[@islipfdchief]

Part number for that scrench ?

[@bobbybass8915]

Did you ever get the part number ?

[@islipfdchief]

@@bobbybass8915 NO. Custom grind on a regular scrench did the trick. 90 degree needle nose will work if needed. Husqvarna USA just not reading there comments. With only 4 comments from Sept 2020 to January 2021 how could they miss it ? I have more Husqvarna/Partner saws then STIHL. With Stihl I have a Tech Sales Specialist that will get me answers when needed. Husky dealers are good, just no factory support for us out here in the field. As a fire district mechanic parts are a problem for me . Some K650 mark "1" sitting on the shelf because air filters can not be found. Have to buy foam sheets and cut them out by hand. They made great saws, but the USA market is treated like an second class cargo.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

​@@bobbybass8915 all you need is a 9/16" wrench and screwdriver. Take the open end of the wrench, place the jaws over one of the three sprockets, then insert the screwdriver through the closed end of the wrench and twist the wrench with the screwdriver clockwise.

[@cwaldensr8175]

I can't get the cover off. Seems to be locked.

[@Xternal123]

Well..... what if the chain brake sprocket snaps off an arm while trying to reset because it's made of weak aluminum like I had? Shit out of luck......

[@83glacius]

yeah well i dont have that key..thaaa..obvius obviusly that you have to set it back to open spring position..

[@wyliehj]

If only this applies to the 545 mk2 I swear I can’t find anything on this saw

[@topsiekretts1250]

The break thing won't turn. I can't reset it

[@ccampy1323]

You have to take the cover off the reset it seems a stupid design

[@noahschmartz2354]

yeah thats the bit people couldnt figure out, how to twist it back !!!! really , dont u think mentioning how to make or buy the tool might be why most people came here ?

[@aglight63]

“Why isn’t that tool included with the saw” because you’re supposed to read the owner’s manual before operating! I don’t read them completely either, but that’s because, I’m a man. Don’t normally read instructions before trying to assemble kids swing set or IKEA furniture either

[@shartne]

Worst chainsaw I have ever owned.120 husky couldn not fix it, spent a lot of money on parts. Do not do the 120.

[@83glacius]

thunbs down from me ..i used my angle grinder to modify it..wish you were in my place last night with a simple key in the middle of the forest ..had to take the spring out and use it without a block safety because Husqvarna is too dumb to give you a proper key like in this video

[@ncironhorse8367]

completely useless video

[@mattdias8051]

My brother pulled my saw apart with chain break on. So I can't blout it back together. This doesn't apply to my saw, my chainsaw wrench doesn't fit on my chainsaw sprocket.

[@soilentgreen85]

You don`t need the stupid tool. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqLIZqeMpat8nLM the best video to solve the problem.

[@suekotchevar2765]

Stihl you just reset the guard no need to take anything apart

[@bimbo-yw6ny]

you forgot to say you had a special tool
