DeWALT is recalling about 8,500 of its DWCS600 Type 1 18-inch 15-amp corded chain saws because the saw may continue running after being switched off or turn on unexpectedly when plugged into a power source. The affected units are yellow with a black handle and motor cover. These saws were sold at hardware and tool supply stores nationwide from June 2021 through November 2021. Consumers can contact DeWALT to receive a free replacement chain saw.
The chain saw can remain running when the switch is in the off position or start up automatically when plugged in, posing a serious cutting and injury hazard to the user.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chain saws and contact DEWALT to receive a pre-paid shipping label to return the product directly to DEWALT in order to receive a free replacement chain saw.
The date code is stamped on the bottom of the chain saw, behind the chain/bar. 'DeWALT' and '18-in.' are written on the blade.
