Hazard

The main switch on the recalled chainsaws and pole saws can fail, allowing the saws to continue to run even after the switch is released, posing a laceration hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Positec for a pre-paid shipping label, and a new box as needed, to return the units free of charge. Positec will provide a free replacement chainsaw or pole saw upon receipt of the recalled product.
