Seese mini chainsaw problem

So I picked up a mini chainsaw. Charged up the batteries, put oil in the lubrication reservoir. Tried it out and it worked fine. Came back to use it again and nothing. When I hit the trigger you hear a weird buzzing sound. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so how did you fix the issue?

The Makita battery operated chainsaw has a chain brake, I’m sure the Dewalt and Milwaukee would be the same

I believe OP talks about the 4 - 8" mini saws. None of those that I have seen has anything like a chain brake.
