Hazard

The product presents a serious risk of injuries because the guard does not automatically stop the cutting chain when it comes into contact with an object. As a result, users may be exposed to the moving chain, increasing the risk of cuts and lacerations. In addition, the product is fitted with a non-compliant plug, which could expose users to live parts and result in an electric shock. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 or the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994.

Remedy

The import has been rejected at the border.
