I have a echo 590 that I have had 4 years and no problems until now. Whe. I get the bar slightly stuck in a cut and I pull it back to get it out and the saw flexes at the joints it dies but once out it starts right back up. Can anyone tell me what to look for before I tear into it to see what's going on?
