About 2,800 STIHL MSA 300 battery-powered chain saws are being recalled because the chain can take longer to brake than expected. These gray and orange saws feature "STIHL" and "MSA 300" on the side, with the serial number found on the rear hand guard. Owners should stop using the recalled saws immediately and return them to an authorized dealer for a free replacement of the brake drum and brake band.
The chain saw's braking system may fail to stop the chain as quickly as required, posing a serious laceration hazard to the user. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled STIHL MSA 300 chain saw and bring it to an authorized STIHL servicing dealer for the free replacement of the brake drum and brake band.
The serial number is located on a label on the rear hand guard.
