STIHL recommends the use of the STIHL Quickstop chain brake on your powerhead with green labeled reduced kickback bars and low kickback chains. To reduce the risc of enjury, stop using the saw immediately if the chain brake does not function properly. 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") 001BA036 LA 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 Quickstop. 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. See the chapter entitled "Chain Brake" of your Owner's Manual. 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. 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. An improperly maintained chain brake may increase the time needed to stop the chain after activation, or may not activate at all. 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 component 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 proceeding and check the operation of your chain brake as described in the chapter

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.
See the chapter entitled "Chain Brake"
of your Owner’s Manual.

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.

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.
