Shut down, none that I know of. Metal cases, most all pro grade saws. Husqvarna 550,562,572,372,365,390,395,3120 and others.It is possible it never got out of the starting throttle mode (high idle?)-it was difficult to tell if the master control lever was fully in the "normal run position" or "starting throttle position" after I blipped it-it was kind of between the lines. I have never heard this saw startup before so I wasn't familiar with the throttling startup sounds it should or should not be making.
I see nowhere in the manual mention of the term "high idle". It seems to me if you have a time bomb in your hands when the master control lever is in the starting throttle position (high idle?), and if it isn't crystal clear when it is in the normal operating position, they should either tell you not to startup with the chain brake on or at least give some type of warning in the manual that you have a time bomb in your hands that is melting down unless you are successful in getting it out of throttle mode within a minute or so if the chainbrake is on.
Does anyone know of a saw in the $400 range that will shut itself down when it hits a critical temperature so it doesn't catastrophically fail, or is made of metal instead of plastic?
