Question about Makita Uc3541a

I bought this chainsaw new. Unfortunately, the RCD fuse always blows when I leave the chainsaw running. Sometimes it runs for a moment until the fuse blows. I have also tried another socket in the house but with the same result. What could be the problem? Is the chainsaw possibly defective? Thanks for any advice/experience

You're right, it's not the RCD but the fuse. I have all S161 L10A fuses. Do you think it's also due to what you had in my house?

Another question: are you sure it's the RCD? I had the same problem, but it wasn't the RCD that blew, but the fuse. The problem: I had a 13 amp fuse with tripping characteristic B. And the chainsaw has too high a starting current for type B fuses. I had to change to a type C circuit breaker. If the RCD really blows --> warranty case

If the RCD blows, there is a short circuit in the appliance and if it is still under warranty, I would send it back.
Thank goodness mine runs perfectly
