    Made Feb 8, 2023, sent to the company Mar 13, 2023, published by CPSC Mar 27, 2023

    The product, in the report: Large Echo Chainsaw Handle

    Caller is reporting the potential lack of safety of a chainsaw handle. His chainsaw is missing a rivet at this time he believes because it was riveted and not welded. With this riveted situation the handle of the very large and heavy chainsaw becomes a two part handle and not a one part handle. This chainsaw is a beast at 32 inches wide chain and 7 Horse Power it is one of the largest chainsaws made and needs to have the one part welded handle, however this one is about 74% welded and 26% riveted. The saw has plastic coupler which is not sufficient for a saw this large. Bottom portion of rivet is still in saw handle, top portion is nowhere to be found. This leaves him thinking that this is another safety issue with small parts possibly going through the air. Safety issue being reported is a potential for losing control of saw while in use due to use of riveted and plastic parts. Chainsaw is not in use He still has the saw with the broken rivet. He is trying to obtain a replacement handle He will keep the handle for 30 + days whether he receives a new one or not
