Most likely a bad switch, easily jumped oiut to check and look for a
overheat swictch breaker...
Probably not worth spending much money to fix. I buy my electric
chansaws at garage sales flea market. 10 bucks can get you a nice one.
I I try and buy several of the exact same model for easy parts
interchangeability.
When chainsawing stuff I want to cut and NOT spend time messing with
saw.
With more than one hitting a nail in a tree means I just swap saws and
keep going, no next hour getting a chain.
I LOVE REDUNDANCY, plus I am always cutting with a sharp chain!
