The Hang Hook Is Loose, Bent, Cracked, Or Will Not Stow Securely

The integrated hang hook moves unexpectedly, is visibly deformed or cracked, interferes with handling, or will not support the saw on a suitable stable structure between uses.

• Hook was overloaded, used for tethering, body carry, overhead suspension, or impact loading
• Hook pivot or attachment is loose, worn, or damaged
• Hook is bent into the housing or operating area
• Structure chosen for hanging is unsuitable or unstable Bright inspection light; no owner repair consumables unless an official external procedure for the exact type is available.

1. The hook is for a suitable stable structure between uses only. Keep the area below clear and never use it for fall protection, tethering, or body carry. The hook stows without interference and, only when authorized safe, supports the unpowered saw securely on a suitable stable structure between uses.

1. Remove the battery and place the saw on a stable surface instead of hanging it.
2. Inspect the hook, pivot, attachment, surrounding housing, and stowed position for bend, crack, looseness, interference, or missing hardware.
3. Do not bend the hook back, improvise hardware, tether the tool, hang it from a person, or suspend it or another object overhead.
4. Have the exact hook and attachment restored by authorized service, or keep the hook out of use and store the saw on a stable surface.
