Plain-English summary
DEWALT Industrial Tool Co. is recalling approximately 13,000 10-inch DW744 jobsite table saws. The recall involves saws with date codes 200715 through 200740. The saws are yellow and black, and the model number and date code are located on the name plate on the front of the saw. Table saws with an "X" stamped on the name plate by the date code are not included in this recall.
The pivot bracket on the saw can separate, which can misalign the blade and the fence and cause kickback. This poses a laceration hazard to consumers. DEWALT has received one reported incident of the table saw’s blade misaligning, but no injuries have been reported.
The table saws were sold at major home centers and hardware stores nationwide from April 2007 through January 2008 for about $500. 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. For additional information, consumers can 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 website at www.dewalt.com.
