Chainsaw was running fine. chain not cutting wood easily, tree stump is smouldering. . sees as if blade is not lubricating. I have check oil level, the saw is less than 10 Hrs old !

The safety switch/cut out on top of the chain saw is not activating correctly. In order to make the chain rotate I am having to physically hold the safety back. As far as I can tell there is no adjustment on this switch. Any ideas?

maybe the engine needs a darn good reving.

Assuming the saw was cutting OK before, you have one of two problems:
1. Chain lubrication. running free, you should see oil in the chain slot on the bar. If not, remove the chain and bar and clean ALL the sawdust out of the area around the sprocket. It will probably be packed full. clean the slot in the bar, too.
2. Nothing dulls a chain faster than contacting the ground. If the stump is smoking, the chain is not cutting. you may have hit the ground or an embedded rock.
My guess is you have both problems. clean the saw and sharpen the chain. Use a proper chain sharpener, don't go sawing away with a file freehand. or just replace the chain.
