Harbor Freight Tools
Hazard: The recalled replacement lower blade guards do not sufficiently cover the saw blade and can break when making a cut, posing an injury hazard to the user.
DeWALT
Hazard: The miter saw's rear safety guard can break or detach, posing an injury hazard due to projectiles that can strike the user and bystanders and a laceration hazard to the user who could come into direct contact with the saw blade.
Robert Bosch Tool
Hazard: The lower guard can break and contact the blade during use, posing a laceration hazard to users.
Performax and Wilton
Hazard: The saw handle's switch can fail, causing the saw to smoke, spark, and trip circuit breakers, and disable the safety brake. The saw also can keep operating unless the unit is unplugged, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
Wilton Mitre
Hazard: The aluminum cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw to the head assembly (which contains the saw blade) can crack under extreme pressure or force, causing the blade assembly to unexpectedly break free from the stationary base. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers.
DEWALT
Hazard: Bolts on the saws can loosen and the blade could detach, posing a risk of lacerations to consumers.
