Real voices
“I have an electric Milwaukee chainsaw. The blade began to get pinched in between a log and I pulled it backwards to get it “unstuck.” It sounded like I was turning the electric motor backwards with a decent amount of force. My question is could this damage my chainsaw doing this repeatedly?”
