No Quickstop or other chain brake
device prevents kickback. These devices
are designed to reduce the risk of
kickback injury, if activated, in certain
kickback situations. In order for the
Quickstop to reduce the risk of kickback
injury, it must be properly maintained
and in good working order. See the
chapter entitled " Chain Brake " and
"Maintenance, Repair and Storing" of
your Owner’s Manual. In addition, there
must be enough distance between the
bar and the operator to ensure that the
Quickstop has sufficient time to activate
and stop the chain before potential
contact with the operator.
STIHL has developed a chain stopping
system designed to reduce the risk of
injury in certain kickback situations.
It is called a "Quickstop" chain brake.
The Quickstop is available as standard
equipment on your Stihl chain saw.
When a kickback occurs, the guidebar
may rotate around the front handle.
If the cutting position is such that the
operator’s left hand ist gripping the front
handle behind the hand guard, and if the
left hand rotates around the front handle
and pushes forward the front hand
guard, which is the Quickstop activating
lever, this contact will activate the Quick-
stop. The chain brake on most new
model STIHL chain saws can also be
activated by inertia. On QS" models, the
interlock lever and the throttle trigger on
the rear handle act as a third means of
activation. See the chapter entitled
chain brake" of your owners manual.

An improperly maintained chain brake
may increase the time needed to stop
the chain after activation, or may not
activate at all.

STIHL recommends the use of the STIHL
Quickstop chain brake on your power-
head with green labeled reduced kick-
back bars and low kickback chains.

See the chapter entitled "Chain Brake"
of your Owner’s Manual.
Never run the chain saw above idle
speed for more than 3 seconds when
the chain brake is engaged or the chain
is pinched or otherwise caught in the cut.
Clutch slippage can cause excessive
heat, leading to severe damage of the
motor housing, clutch and oiler compo-
nent and may interfere with the operation
of the chain brake. If clutch slippage in
excess of 3 seconds has occured, allow
the motor housing to cool before pro-
ceeding and check the operation of your
chain brake as described in the chapter

To reduce the risc of enjury, stop using
the saw immediately if the chain brake
does not function properly.

Never operate your chain saw without a
front hand guard. In a kickback situation
this guard helps protect your left hand or
other parts of your body. In addition,
removal of the hand guard on a saw
equipped with a chain brake will deactivate
the chain brake.
Risk of injury! Take the saw to your local
STIHL Service Centre! Do not use the
saw until the fault has been rectified
(see the section "Chain Brake")
