Brake not releasing 14inch ryobi
saw
First try cleaning it. Begin by removing the spark plug wire. Then remove the housing and inspect the chain break for broken chain brake parts such as the spring. If all appears intact clean away saw dust, sticks or other debris. Otherwise, the chain break may be simply wore out and need replacing.

Remove the side cover, bar, and chain. You should be able to observe the action of the brake at this point. Other than sawdust/dirt blocking the action, the brake band which encircles the clutch drum must not be bent or otherwise damaged. Try blowing the whole area clean with compressed air. Check the action of the drum, which should turn freely when the brake is off. Hope this helps!
