DEWALT Recalls Table Saws Due to Laceration Hazard

Laceration

The hazard

The pivot bracket on the saw can separate, which can misalign the blade and the fence and cause kick back. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.

Incidents reported: DEWALT has received one reported incident of the table saw’s blade misaligning. No injuries have been reported.

What to do now

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled table saws and contact DEWALT for the location of a service center to obtain a free replacement table saw.

Contact: For additional information, contact DEWALT toll-free at (888) 742-9178 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.dewalt.com
