Chainsaw

Requirements breached

Certain components of the clutch do not have sufficient play. When the engine is switched on, the increase in temperature causes these components to expand, and if they come into contact they could cause the chain to rotate unintentionally. This problem only occurs at the lowest engine speed. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive
