Quickstop Plus Chain
Brake System
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."
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

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:
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).
