Just what we've all been saying all along about these saws. No doubt they were destined to turn up on eBay:

:thumbdown:Far to easy to get your hands on these with some unaware of the risks...

I saw some sold by someone of no fixed abode the other day;

 

honestly they said 'CHAINSAW 999' on the side, wish I had got a photo

 

obviously for the UK domestic market...

Just so you have the emergency phone number fresh in your mind when all safety features fail and you cut yourself!

I don't believe the country of origin was stated for these items, was that information omitted or are the readers to assume where they came from?. Very please to see that the items were destroyed and not forwarded back to the manufacturer.
