Everyone has to start somewhere . Mechanical sympathy prevents me from starting a saw with the brake on .  There wern't any chain brakes when I first picked up a saw so don't use it anyway . 

I started in the early 70s with a Stihl 08s without a chain brake Mr Stubby so we may have started around the same time. I don’t abide by all the teaching, rules and regs either as the day would not be so productive.

I don't need to pass a course and I like my saw enough to not torture it. The OP will learn from his mistake and if he has any common sense he will not cut off any body parts in the process. He now has enough experience not to run the saw hard with the brake on so he can choose his own course of action.

so the OP now as enough experience having read a dozen posts on a forum does he/ she?🤔I think not.

So you think the OP is not intelligent enough to realise what caused the damage and to avoid doing it in the future, you have a low opinion of him in my view Hoss.
