A chain break is exactly what it sounds like, your chain becomes pinched in the wood or overheated due to lack of bar oil and breaks at usually one of the rivets. Easily fixed by your local saw shop.

A chain brake on a chainsaw is a safety feature. The plastic or metal paddle shaped device in front of your upper hand is the lever to engage the brake. It is designed to stop the spinning chain instantly by tightening a band around the flywheel. In the event the tip of the chainsaw bar contacts something hard and throws the spinning chain upwards, your hand, wrist or arm should contact this paddle and engage the brake before he chain is able to strike your upper body and cause injury.
