The chain brake is a safety feature in chainsaws that stops the rotation of the cutting chain in the event of a kickback or any sudden movement, which could cause injury to the user. The chain brake is principally operated by the top-hand guard being pushed forward to engage the brake, and pulled back to disengage. The spring-loaded action allows powerful braking under emergency conditions and can halt a chain under full power in a fraction of a second.
