[Stubby]

The brake is there for safety in kickback situations isn't it ?

Chain brake got knocked on when I was snedding a big hairy Sitka earlier..... Annoyed the poop out of me 😠

What is the reason people keep putting the brake on so often? Is it lack of confidence or what, or is it that what they are told to do, myself i never put it on, only time it comes on is when kick back occurs, slamming the brake on is like driving flat out and pulling up the handbrake which locks up the whole mechanism, if i want to slow down or stop the chain i gently dig the saw into the the tree.

Exactly the same as me. Imagine if you're running as fast as you can and stop suddenly on the spot, think of the strain that will put on your ankles, knees and hips. It works the same way with a saw.
