Porter-Cable
Hazard: The motor can overheat, creating a fire hazard.
Black+Decker portable
Hazard: The table saw stand can collapse unexpectedly, posing laceration and impact injury hazards to the operator.
Craftsman portable
Hazard: The table saw's stand can collapse unexpectedly, posing laceration and impact injury hazards to the operator.
Grizzly
Hazard: The motor pulley can come loose and hit the table saw blade, causing the blade teeth to break into flying metal fragments, posing a risk of laceration or impact injury to consumers.
Ryobi
Hazard: The saw blade on the motor carriage could be misaligned, posing a laceration hazard.
Ridgid
Hazard: The table saw's arbor shaft can fail when used with a stacked blade set (commonly known as a "stacked dado set"), which is used to cut grooves. The stacked blade set can be ejected from the saw, posing a potential laceration hazard to consumers.
DEWALT
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.
Rexon Industrial
Hazard: The rip fence - a metal guide that keeps material being sawed from shifting side to side as it passes through the cutting blade - can come loose. This could result in kickback of the material being sawed and possible injury to the operator.
Skil
Hazard: The blade drive mechanism may loosen or the motor can separate from the tool. Loosening of the blade drive mechanism can result in kickback of the item being sawed, resulting in possible laceration. Motor unit separation can cause the coasting saw blade to damage the saw wiring resulting in possible electric shock, or the separated motor could strike the user and cause injury.
Black and Decker
Hazard: The motor housing on the saw may crack, posing a risk of electric shock to consumers.
Ryobi
