⚠️ Risk

The throttle, when released, does not always return to the idling position. The fault occurs in particular when the thumb is pressed sharply against the throttle lock before it is removed, after the throttle is released (as one might do unintentionally when throwing the chain saw away in an emergency situation, e.g. on stumbling while cutting branches from a felled tree). This product does not comply with the Machinery Directive and the European Standard.
