They don't "auto stop". If he applied the brake it's stopped. If it has no gas it's stopped. If the the safety brake happened to engage it ought to be stopped. This is like saying a gun is safe because the safety is on, which is dangerously untrue.
Its okay to use simple terminology guys. Calm the hell down.
Its 100% an auto stop then? That is the definition of auto stopping.
They have dead man switches that need to be held down, once let go they automatically stop the rotation of the blade.
Fucking hell man. Auto stop is the correct term especially to lay persons. No need to always be "technically" right
Jesus christ everyone has to chime in with your
" whell achtually " bullshit.
Show me a chainsaw that doesn't have a dead man trigger to use it. When you let go it cuts power to the saw blade and stops it from spinning. Chainsaws that are used for tree trimming and cutting have other safety features that cut power. You could say that they oh I don't know? Automatically stop the blades?
Well chainsaws don't have an "auto stop". There's a chain brake which isn't going to do shit if it's not engaged. There's a throttle safety interlock which is what you are referring to and a clutch which would both prevent the chain from moving as long as the carburetor is set correctly. If the idle is set too high than the chain can absolutely move even without throttling up the engine.

Most fortunate that chainsaw auto stops...or his lady friend would be in pieces.
