let the revs drop and click it on. i even 'slow' the chain speed down on a bit of wood before engaging it. thats not to say in an emergency i wouldn't slam it on, but why put all that undue stress through the clutch?

You should always "check" that the chain brake works at full revs EVERY time you warm a saw up, surely. Thats what its there for, its a safety feature.??????

I was tought that you do a chain brake test every day when you first start the saw.... as described above but then after that you never knock the brake on at full revs.
