Husqvarna's TrioBrake system: "the ABS of the chainsaw"

Because needs are constantly evolving, and because 3 levels of safety are better than one, Husqvarna has equipped 3 of its chainsaws with its exclusive TrioBrake system: a chain brake mechanism that can be activated in 3 different ways.
In addition to the chain brake that is triggered by inertia or by the action of the left wrist, a chain brake located on the rear handle can be activated with the right wrist. The result: chainsaws that offer more protection and more comfort.

Combining passive safety (inertia chain brake and mechanical chain brake) with an active safety system (chain brake on the rear handle), Husqvarna's "TrioBrake" system reportedly offers the following advantages:

- It would make it safer for non-professional users, who generally try to engage the chain brake with the right hand, thereby putting themselves at risk. With the exclusive TrioBrake system, the user easily and safely triggers the chain brake with the right wrist.

- In terms of user comfort, Husqvarna's exclusive TrioBrake system would encourage better posture, as it is impossible to work with a hunched back (the posture generally adopted by occasional users).

- It would also be the only system that protects against small kickbacks during limbing/delimbing.

- For professionals, Husqvarna's TrioBrake system would bring greater productivity.

Indeed, for total safety when limbing a felled tree, the operator and the machine must work on opposite sides of the trunk, and the chain brake must be engaged. With the chain brake on the rear handle, the operation is faster, resulting in appreciable time savings.

Already available on machines designed for professionals and heavy-duty users, the TrioBrake system will soon be fitted to machines intended for private individuals.
