I have a Black and Decker electric chainsaw - dn 404 B and the chain wont turn. It might be the clutch but I need instruction on how to do this. I can't find the clutch parts online so they might not sell them anymore.

Not familiar with the saw type- but if it has a chain brake fitted- is that engaged?

Failing that, wear/damage to the drive sprocket or bar nose sprocket can stop the chain rotating- or if the drive sprocket has damaged the drive links of the can they can become jammed in the bar rails.
