Cutterless Chain for Service
For any chain saw, to properly tune the carb or verify running
RPM at idle and wide open throttle a bar and chain should be
installed
Cutterless chains are available to provide a safe way for the
service technician to do this without fear of the chain coming
into contact with anything

All Current Models of STIHL Chain Saws are Equipped with
the STIHL Quickstop® Chain Braking System
The chain is stopped and locked when the hand guard is
pushed toward the guide bar nose by the left hand – or when
the brake is activated by enough inertia in certain kickback
situations
