STIHL Quickstop Plus chain brake
system
Standard STIHL Quickstop chain
brake
High revs with the chain brake engaged
(chain locked) will quickly damage the
powerhead and chain drive (clutch,
chain brake).
Activating
Activating
The chain brake is designed to be
activated also by the inertia of the
front hand guard
If the forces are sufficiently high, the
hand guard is accelerated toward the
bar nose – even if your left hand is not
behind the hand guard, e.g. during a
felling cut. The chain brake will operate
correctly only if it has been properly
maintained and the hand guard has not
been modified in any way.
N
When you fully release the rear
handle, including the throttle trigger
and throttle trigger lockout.
N
When the hand guard is pushed
toward the bar nose by the left hand
or by inertia in certain kickback
situations.
Disengaging
Check operation of STIHL Quickstop
Plus chain brake
The chain is brought to a standstill and
locked in position.
Disengaging
Before starting work: Open the throttle
fully and then fully release the rear
handle. The chain must stop moving
within a second.
Check operation of STIHL Quickstop
chain brake
N
Press down the throttle trigger
lockout. This releases the clutch
drum and allows the chain to rotate.
Before starting work: Run engine at idle
speed, engage the chain brake (push
hand guard toward bar nose). Open the
throttle wide for no more than 3 seconds.
The chain must not rotate. The hand
guard must be free from dirt and move
freely.
N
Pull the hand guard toward the front
handle.
Always disengage chain brake
before accelerating engine and
before starting cutting work. The
only exception to this rule is when
you check operation of the chain
brake.
In case of any doubt about the above
functions, contact your STIHL dealer for
assistance.
