The Hazard!
The automatic chain brake activation is not smooth and when a kickback occurs the chain brake may not stop the chain as expected.
A rotating chain after kickback poses an injury hazard to users. (No injuries have been reported).

Stop using your chainsaw if it is identified below and take it to the store you bought it from or to the nearest Makita Authorised Service Agent.
