Power tool kickbacks
A kickback is a sudden upward movement that can occur if the tool or material being worked on binds or pinches unexpectedly. Such a rapid tool reaction could lead to potential serious injuries or worse.
The best way to avoid kickbacks is to follow standard practice when setting up your working environment and tool. Never use the tool in the kickback zone, and always refer to the operator's manual for proper operation.
X-Halt™ Blade Brake Operation
The Husqvarna X-Halt™ blade brake function is an electronic braking system capable of stopping the rotation of the blade within a fraction of a second. If the X-Halt™ algorithm detects abnormal blade speed, the software signals the motor to shut down.
Remember: X-Halt™ cannot fully prevent personal injury. Only a safe working technique can.
PRIME™ products access the X-Halt™ function by connecting to the PP 8 or PP 70 power pack (with update). X-Halt™ is included with the following PRIME™ products: K 7000, K 7000 Ring, K 7000 Flushcut Chain and K 7000 Chain.
The K 1 PACE high-power battery cutter and the K 540i feature the same X-Halt™ blade brake function.
