A lawnmower is a machine that needs to be operated with care. Things get bad when it doesn't work properly.
The power tool manufacturer Dewalt is currently informing about a safety recall of certain lawn mowers. Water could penetrate the control panel and cause a short circuit, writes Dewalt: “This can in turn lead to the lawn mower no longer being able to be turned off or switching on unintentionally when the operator presses the start button, which poses a risk of injury.”
According to the information, lawn mowers with the model numbers listed below that were manufactured in 2023 or before week 14 of 2024 are affected. According to the manufacturer, they should no longer be used “with immediate effect”.
These Dewalt lawn mowers are affected:
