Milwaukee Tool, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling a subset of M18 FUEL 12-inch and 14-inch Top Handle Chainsaws (category number 2826-20) due to a potential chain-brake issue.

On some saws (units with the fourth character of the serial number “A”), the chain brake may not prevent the chain from moving when the brake is engaged. Failure of the brake could pose a laceration risk should the chain be contacted by the operator.

• Cat.No: 2826-20C, 2826-22T, 2826-21T, 2826-20T

• Affected Serial numbers: Units where the fourth character of the serial number is “A.”

• The ONLY affected saw is the M18 FUEL Top Handle Chainsaw

If users have an affected saw:  

• Stop using the saw immediately and arrange for free repair by:
  • Utilizing the eService portal
  • Or by calling (833) 953-2012 (7 a.m. to 4:30p.m. Central Standard Time Monday through Friday)
