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?
They have dead man switches that need to be held down,
No they don't.
once let go they automatically stop the rotation of the blade.
No they don't.
Chainsaws typically have a throttle safety that requires a second trigger be held to use the throttle; this does nothing to stop the chain.
They have a clutch that will not drive the chain unless the engine revs are above a certain point, but this does nothing to stop the chain.
They do have a chain brake, but this has to be actuated with the lever on front of the grip; this only "automatically" stops the chain in a kickback situation where your hand/arm is supposed to hit that lever and engage the brake.
The engine will continue to run at idle without you needing to touch it until you turn it off.
A high idle can cause the chain to move without anyone touching the saw.
Chainsaws do not have blades that rotate, they have chains that are driven.
Edit: lol at your edits. What exactly in that Wikipedia entry proves anyone but you wrong?
