The clutch!?!?! You need to look at some chainsaw anatomy bud. 🤣 The centrifugal clutch on a chainsaw is under a panel on the side. You don’t touch the clutch ever, at least not when the saw is running.

Almost every single chainsaw I’ve ever used the chain will free spin at start. Unless you have the chain lock engaged.

He doesn’t have a hand on the trigger, but it doesn’t really matter with “ol buzzy” when she first fires up.
