The product, in the report: Homelite 18 volt electric pole saw
Homelite 18 volt electric pole saw model #UT 34020 handle started getting hot & I smelled something burning, so I took it apart to see what was wrong. Half the wire & all of the coiled wire had cracked off the insulation. I’ve never seen anything like that.
Seems like to me a recall is in order since this might could cause the battery to explode.
Also a better design would be two power strips inside the pole where the power rails would remain in contact with each other.
