The model number is located on the circular saw's upper motor housing.
Why it was recalled
The "Craftsman" logo label located on the upper blade guard can become partially detached and interfere with the proper operation of the lower blade guard, exposing the saw's blade and posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
Incidents and injuries
Sears has received two reports of the blade guard catching on the label with one incident resulting in an injury to the user that required 12 stitches.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately remove the Craftsman label from the upper blade guard, according to the instructions. Instructions are available at OSH.com (under the Product Safety page).
