Reported risk: These Homelite brand chainsaws have model number UT10946 and manufacture dates of 11-02 (November 2002) or 12-02 (December 2002). The model numbers and manufacture dates are printed on the lower corners of a black data label located on back side of the chainsaw's engine housing, opposite the on/off trigger.

Hazards: These saws can operate while the engine is at the "idle" setting, posing a risk of serious lacerations to the operator and bystanders.
