Made the first three-cut of my life today, I'm pretty sure you guys planning on racing in December can go ahead and surrender now.
Enjoy!!
First time I ever started this saw. I bought a 395 to find out what all the fuss is about
This particular model has a problem with the safety switch so you can only pull the throttle trigger when the tip of the bar is pointed down. It wont pull at all with the tip pointed up like you normally would to start a cut in a cant.
I also stuffed the dang dawg in the cant once
Generally awkward and poor technique.
Hopefully my saw and chain can make up for my personal failings
My guess is you have something in the handle (like a piece of plastic or rock) that moves into place to stop the trigger when tilted back. Try shaking the saw to get it loose. The difficult thing to do is get the object out. I had the same problem with a 346. The piece eventually lodged where the trigger was stuck at about 1/4 throttle. I ended up having to replace the tank handle.
