26 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday June 7, 2006 SAFETY RECALL MASTERCRAFT MITRE SAW, MITRE SAW WITH LASER LINE AND MITRE SAW WITH STAND Canadian Tire is voluntarily recalling two Mastercraft 10" Compound Mitre Saws, two Mastercraft 10" Compound Mitre Saws with Laser Line and Mastercraft 10" Compound Mitre Saw with Stand (Canadian Tire product numbers 55-6802, 55-6895, 55-6893, 55-6821 and 99-7599) due to a potential safety concern. It has been determined that due to a manufacturing defect, the aluminium cast pivot joint that connects the base of the saw and the head assembly (containing the blade) may crack under extreme pressure or force causing a potential safety concern. While Canadian Tire is not aware of any incidents causing injury, there have been 13 in which the aluminium cast joint pivot cracked. In four of these instances, the pivot head broke causing the head to detach from the base. Canadian Tire is asking customers to discontinue the use of these products immediately and to return the products to Canadian Tire for a refund. How the unit can be identified: The saws contain a Blue label on the motor housing of the units. Products included in this recall will have one of five Canadian Tire product numbers, 55-6802, 55-6895, 55-6893, 55-6821 or 99-7599, followed by a serial number that begins with the letter `W' (highlighted in White or Yellow). Only those saws containing one of the five product numbers, as well as the letter `W' are included in this recall.
