Dorset residents are being warned about door-to-door chainsaw sellers
Neil Martin, trading standards officer at Dorset County Council, said: "Chainsaws are potentially dangerous unless used by experienced operators. We are also concerned that equipment like this has been offered for sale around Dorset without required safety warnings and user manuals with appropriate instructions for use.
"We are currently trying to track down the original source of some of the chainsaws being sold door-to-door, and we are warning potential consumers to stick to trusted suppliers and known outlets."
