    [REDACTED] waited some time, then plugged the battery in. The motor did not start. [REDACTED] hit the start button, then lifted the bail lever. The motor started. Later, [REDACTED] released the bail lever. The motor shut off.

    Apparently, when cold, the motor controls do not operate safely. Should there be a safety recall for this product?
