It says it has an anti kickback function. Its also made by Oregon just like most of these cheaper leccy jobs. I think Aldi had an Oregon a while back. I got one from B&Q (own brand) a few years ago (looks the same but different colour). Works well and stops dead if you want it to.
PS I am typing this with 10 fingers so it can't be that bad
I don't think it is legal to make them without the chain brake and anti kickback..
PS if you are not a competent power tool user check out chainsaw injuries on the net, not your average level of diy disaster, lots of technique and care needed to keep yourself in one piece!
Used one as a cheap and nasty home bucking option for 5 years plus, when petrol is too loud.
Cons: oiler will break at some point and parts are non-existent. Standard for cruddy Chinese tat.
Pros: safety features are actually good; instant chain stop on throttle down, decent chain brake. Plenty of torque.
Low cutting speed, as per for cheap electric. Bury the entire bar and the auto over-heat cut-out will often fire, but you just throttle down and carry on.
Oleo Mac or Efco 2000 watter isn't much more and is far better, but this isn't a bad option considering 2 year warranty.

Ps: I have used chain saws for many many years....................Best electric up to now Black & Decker.
