[QUOTE="Philbert, post: 7530313, member: 12609"] Most have electrical disconnects or electric brakes. I have had other electric tools fail in the ‘On’ position, due to very fine sawdust in the contacts. On good quality tools. In fairness, I know of a couple of STIHL, gas, chainsaws that would not shut off, and had to be ‘choked out’ to stop. Part of working safely is to wait for the chain to stop, and not just assume that it will when you release the trigger. Philbert [/QUOTE]
