Help with my Craftsman 16" 3.5 HP electric chainsaw?

My chainsaw motor runs and the blade turns but when I start to cut the blade stops and the motor keeps going. I apply very little pressure while cutting and the blade still stops. This is my father-in-laws chainsaw and it is the first time i have used the thing. Did I just break it? Please help with any suggestions.
