Requirements breached
Owing to the inadequate performance of the non-manually-activated chain brake, kickback may result in the user suffering serious injuries to the neck and/or upper body. In addition, if force is exerted on the rear handgrip its inadequate mechanical strength may result in it breaking off, together with the petrol tank, which may lead to burns. The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 11681.
