NAC Electric chainsaw — cuts & injuries risk
Photos from the official notice: EU Safety Gate (European Commission) · image rights
Hazard
The front handle is placed above the motor body and attached directly to the side of the body above the guide axis. This solution causes the lack of the required clearance between the handle and the side of the motor body and makes it impossible to hold the saw securely when it is controlled during horizontal cutting. The user may suffer cuts or injuries. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the relevant European Standard EN 60745-2-13.
