QuickStop Super Chain Brake (Q)

The chain stops in seconds whenever the user lets go of the rear handle and whenever there is sufficiently strong kickback or when the front hand guard is activated. This unique safety feature ensures even more user protection in all working positions.

Operating handle

Two-handled operation
The ergonomically shaped handle and rear control handle with comfortable soft-grip component ensure safe working in all operating positions.
