I have exactly the same problem. I can't turn the motor by hand (having removed the blade) and I have tried to push back fairly hard on the guard but it is totally stuck and doesn't move in either direction ( no play at all)
Please,some advice will be very much appreciated.

Your prob sounds like the safety brake! Push the guard back toward the front handle with a bit of force. You will hear a click when it is reset. Frankster016Your prob sounds like the safety brake!

The chain could be on backwards or too tight. The chain should turn freely by hand (with gloves). If not these, could be an internal issue with the saw.
I recommend contacting your local authorized service center for assistance.
You may contact the manufacturer, download manuals, check fuel/oil ratios, order parts, find your local service center, and view other resources using these links:
In front of the handle on top of the saw is a hand guard. If in the course of cutting wood you hit it or pushed it forward, it will lock up the chain drive system. It should pull back towards the handle until it again clicks to release the chain. It's designed to lock up the chain drive and stop the chain when the saw kicks back.
Remove the cover on the right hand side of the saw and remove the bar and chain. Clean the oil port holes in the bar and the body of the saw. They get clogged with sawdust and chips. Also clean the groove in the bar and the sprocket at the end of the bar. Always use proper chainsaw bar oil.
1. The kickback brake, if equipped, was triggered to stop the chain. 2. The chain is jammed with saw dust/debris (it doesn't take much) 3. the bar sprocket is damaged. 4. The chain guide teeth are damaged and not sliding through the bar guide groove smoothly 5. The chain is adjusted too tightly. 6. You are out of bar oil and friction has stopped it/damaged the bar and/or chain 7. The motor sprocket clutch is damaged.
From the Makita manual: If the saw does not start when the ON/OFF switch (1) is actuated, it will be necessary to release the chain brake. - Pull the hand guard (6) firmly in the direction of the arrow until you feel it catch. electric motor does not function no power supply cable defective chain brake actuated Mains fuse blown HTH Lou If these don't work return it, maybe it is defective. Test the new one in the store.
