Chain Brake; Rear Handle Activated Chain Braking System; Hand Guard Activated Chain Braking System; Disengaging The Chain Brake - Stihl 036 QS Instruction Manual

&KDLQ %UDNH
Your STIHL 036 QS features an
additional chain braking system. This
system is designed to activate the chain
brake when you remove your right hand
completely from the rear handle.
Since the mechanisms are different for
(1.) inertia or manual activation by
means of the front hand guard and (2.)
activation by means of the rear handle,
there will be a difference in elapsed time
before the chain comes to a stop.
Activation by means of the front hand
guard is designed to stop the chain
within a fraction of a second. The rear
handle activating mechanism, on the
other hand, is designed to stop the rota-
tion of the chain within approximately
one-second after release of the rear
handle.

In order to reduce the risk of personal
injury, make sure you are familiar with
how the additional chain braking system
works before cutting with the 036 QS for
the first time. Observe and become
accustomed to the characteristics that
make this saw different from other saws
that do not have a rear handle braking
system. See also the chapter "Starting"
in this manual.
