WMH Tool Group Inc. Recalls Wilton Mitre Saws for Laceration Hazard
07025 · Recalled 2006-11-08 · CPSC page
Description
The recall involves all Wilton-brand, 10-inch Compound Mitre Saws, including models with the Laser Line feature with model numbers 99164 and 99192. The model number is written on a black label on the motor housing.
Hazards
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.
Reported 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.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using these saws, destroy and discard them. The firm is out of business. No remedy is available.
