Abstract
Upon a kick-back of a motor saw, energy is transferred from the rotating parts of the engine into energy which generates the kick-back. This causes a tremendous decrease of the r.p.m. of the engine. In the saw there is an electronic control comprising a timer which measures the r.p.m. of the engine. During certain intervals the difference in r.p.m. is computed with respect to previous intervals and if the r.p.m. has decreased more than a predetermined value, a sensor in the electronic control emits a signal which releases an electrically controlled chain brake for stopping the chain.
