This STIHL chain saw is equipped with a
chain brake system that can be
activated in three different ways. As
before, the chain brake can be activated
by the inertia of the front hand guard in
certain kickback situations or manually
by pushing the front hand guard toward
the bar nose. In both of these cases the
brake, once activated, is designed to
bring the chain to a standstill within
fractions of a second. In addition, there
is a secondary system (STIHL
Quickstop Plus) that is designed to stop
chain rotation within a second of the
operator fully releasing the rear handle.
The locked chain is not released again
until you press down the throttle trigger
lockout to operate the throttle.
The chain brake can be activated in
three ways:
1 By inertia in certain kickback
situations
2 Manually via the front hand guard
3 Manually by fully releasing the rear
handle, including the throttle trigger
and throttle trigger lockout.
The activating mechanism for the STIHL
Quickstop Plus chain brake system is
integrated in the throttle trigger lockout
(rear handle). One of the big advantages
of this system is that the saw chain is
automatically locked in position when
carrying the running saw by the front
handle (with the rear handle fully
released).
To reduce the risk of personal injury or
property damage during cutting,
observe the characteristics that make
this saw different from saws not
equipped with a STIHL Quickstop Plus
chain brake system. Before operating
the chain saw for the first time, make
sure you are familiar with how the rear-
handle activation works. Pay special
attention to the chapter "Chain Brake."
