Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is about flail mowers, trimmers and brush cutters with chain blades. The chains are held on by bolts or rivets that may break.

What's happening? If the bolts or rivets break, the chains can come off while you are using the machine. The flying chains could hit and hurt you.

Does this affect me? Anyone in Poland or Slovenia who owns or uses one of these machines could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using the machine right away. Ask a repair shop or your dealer what to do next.
