The CPSC data does not provide a discrete model-number list for this record. Compare the product description and identification details on the official notice.
The model number is written on a black label on the motor housing.
Why it was recalled
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.
Incidents and injuries
WMH is aware of four reports of cracked pivot housings, one of which resulted in the separation of the saw blade from the base. No injuries have been reported relating to this hazard.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using these saws, destroy and discard them. The firm is out of business. No remedy is available.
