Thanks for the heads up on this. That could ruin you day if the saw caught on fire with saw dust all around!!
I hope the company sent out recall notices!
Cheers, Jim

Jim,
I, too, hope that companies send out recall notices, but one of the reasons I post these recalls is that not all of us (me included) return the registration/warranty cards that come with our tools which means we don’t get notified of recalls. (I don’t like getting all the junk mail, etc. that is generated from registering products, but I do keep my receipts which means they have to honor my purchase.) With getting recall notifications from cpsc.gov, I figure I’m pretty much covered in the event of a recall. I hope posting them here might be helpful to others who may not register their tools or get notification from cpsc.
