    It was lucky that the guy that borrowed it could not get it to work. If he didn't know enough to release the brake, then he didn't know enough to use the damn thing. If he got it to work it's likely he would have cut more than just wood and I doubt a styptic stick would have been sufficient to stop the bleeding.

    I couldnt agree more! He should have been smart enough to at least read the operators manual, if he doesnt know how to start it he shouldnt operate it. A good saw will cut wood like it was warm butter what it will do to a leg is something you'd rather not see.

    Guys don't be to hard on this guy. I've used three different brands of saw in the last decade, and a verifiable antirque one as well. This is the first time I've ever heard of a chain brake. He could be a professional logger and never have used a saw with one.
