Top handle saws move the rear mounted right hand position up to the top

Here's the type of saw I'm talking about. Ask Stihl where the brake
controls are. You can work out the rest of the terminology yourself.

I don't understand Andy. From the picture (I looked at the MS200T) it
certainly looks like there is a left hand grip wrapping down the left side
of the saw. The chain brake - unless there's something new that is not even
mentioned in the product description is not operated by the operator of the
saw. It's an automatic function if the chain breaks and starts to fly back
toward the operator. Unless you know something that is not highlighted in
the product brief on the web site, there are no brake controls. Clue me in?
