Sheesh... The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning consumers not to use the Black and Decker pole saw because the device can start up without warning. The agency warns issues with the pole saws have already caused lacerations to some who’ve used them. Those who bought a Black and Decker Craftsman pole saw should contact the company, which is offering free repair kits, before using again, the agency further advised in the alert. While it remains unclear what’s causing the issue with Black and Decker pole saw, BGR.com reports it has been repeated enough to prompt the alert.
I love how they talk about a Black and Decker or Fiskars recall and show a picture of Stihl saws. .Good heads up though.
They are offering free repair kits despite not knowing what is causing the start-up problem. The free repair kits don't have the same unknown problem ?
