standards does not automatically mean that in a real life kickback the bar and saw chain will rotate at most 45°. WARNING In order for chain saws to comply with the computed kickback angle requirements of the chain saw kickback standards use only the following cutting attachments: - bar and saw chain combinations listed as complying in the "Specifications" section of the instruction manual or - other replacement bar and saw chain combinations marked in accordance with the standards for use on the chain saw or - replacement saw chain designated "low kickback saw chain.'' See the section on "Low Kickback Saw Chain and Reduced Kickback Bars." Devices for Reducing the Risk of Kickback Injury STIHL Quickstop Chain Brake 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. STIHL recommends the use of the STIHL Quickstop chain brake on your chain saw with green labeled reduced kickback bars and low kickback saw chains. WARNING To reduce the risk of injury, never use a saw if the chain brake does not function properly. Take the saw to your local STIHL servicing dealer. Do not use the saw until the problem has been rectified. English There are two mechanisms for activating the chain brake if it is in a properly maintained condition: - manual activation: If a kickback occurs, the chain saw moves upwards towards the user in a rotating motion around the front handle. The brake is designed to engage if the left hand contacts the front guard, which is the activation lever for the brake, and pushes it forward. - inertia activation: All STIHL chain saws are equipped with an interia Quickstop chain brake. If the kickback impulse is strong enough, this alone is sufficient to engage the brake even without contacting the front hand guard. 001BA174 KN MSA 160 C, MSA 200 C 13

STIHL Quickstop Chain Brake
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.
There are two mechanisms for activating
the chain brake if it is in a properly
maintained condition:
–
manual activation: If a kickback
occurs, the chain saw moves
upwards towards the user in a
rotating motion around the front
handle. The brake is designed to
engage if the left hand contacts the
front guard, which is the activation
lever for the brake, and pushes it
forward.
–
inertia activation: All STIHL chain
saws are equipped with an interia
Quickstop chain brake. If the
kickback impulse is strong enough,
this alone is sufficient to engage the
brake even without contacting the
front hand guard.
