Milwaukee Tool is recalling approximately 90,860 M18 FUEL 14-inch and 12-inch Top Handle Chainsaws. The chain brake on these battery-operated saws may not activate as intended, which can lead to serious injury. The firm has received two reports of the brake failing, including one incident resulting in a lacerated finger.
The chain brake may fail to engage during use, preventing the chain from stopping and posing a severe laceration hazard to the operator. One finger injury has already been reported due to this defect.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chainsaw and contact Milwaukee Tool for a free repair. Consumers should register their product at https://service.milwaukeetool.com/support/eservice to receive a prepaid shipping label to return their product to Milwaukee Tool for repair.
The catalog number is on the upper right of the nameplate; the serial number is on the upper left. Affected units have 'A' as the 4th character of the serial number.
