My one Husqvarna 395xp will break the rope or the spool almost every time if you don't hold the rope out on power down once it exploded the recoil cover, my other 395 is less compression and don't do it as bad. I have a pioneer that's bad about it too. I just do it on. All saws as a habit now. It don't hurt to do it on the saws that it's not necessary.
Yes, that's what I said too.
If that was true, than your ratchet/rewind would blow up the second you start the saw. Every type of pawls in the rewind starter mechanisms engage only in one direction.
It’s obvious you didn’t read or possibly understand anything about what we said. The pawls on recent Stihls are in the recoil. When you pull the rope out, the pawls extend. If the saw were to reverse when it shut off, you would actually be forcing the pawls into the flywheel. If you didn’t pull the rope out, there would be nothing for the flywheel to catch. But by all means, feel free do it to all saws
Even if they would catch, but they dont, you absorb kick back with your hand, so no harm.It’s obvious you didn’t read or possibly understand anything about what we said.

If they catch when you pull the handle out, they catch the flywheel when the motor reverses. Doesn’t matter though. They don’t have big enough flywheels today for it to make a difference.
