h) Deleted the terms and definitions of "high chainsaw" (see 2.2.1.3 of the 2012 edition).
This document is equivalent to ISO 6531:2017 "Vocabulary of Portable Chain Saws for Forestry Machinery".
The following minimal editorial changes have been made to this document.
--- In order to coordinate with existing standards, change the name of the standard to "Portable Chainsaw Vocabulary".
---Terms "saw chain brake handle", "throttle trigger", "idle speed regulator", "low speed mixture regulator", "high speed mixture regulator" added Note;
--- Added index.
