Default chain saw v. trimmer - urgent!

The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

There is a principle known as the conservation of angular momentum,
which you may have forgotten after all those years!


Which is taken out on the teeth if the chain suddenly stops because of a
nail, etc.

That either results in bent or chipped teeth (on the chain), or a lot of heat.
