Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is recalling approximately 22,149 SkilSaw 10-inch compound miter saws because the lower blade guard can break and contact the spinning blade during use. This defect poses a serious laceration hazard to anyone operating the saw. The affected units were sold at Lowe's Home Centers and OC Tanner between January 2012 and April 2012. Consumers should stop using the saw and contact the company for a free replacement kit.
The saw's lower guard is prone to breaking, which can cause the plastic guard to strike the moving blade, potentially shattering the guard or exposing the operator to the blade. While no injuries have been reported yet, this failure creates a high risk of deep cuts or lacerations.
Consumers should immediately stop using the miter saw and contact Robert Bosch Tool Corporation for a free lower guard replacement kit.
