Craftsman Circular Saws
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Sears has recalled certain Craftsman 7-1/4-inch circular saws because the "Craftsman" logo label on the upper blade guard can partially detach and interfere with the lower blade guard's operation, which leaves the saw blade exposed and creates a risk of laceration. The affected models are 172.108550, 172.108560, 172.108650, and 172.108660, which can be identified by checking the model number on the upper motor housing. Models 172.108560 and 172.108650 have gray body housings and gray blade guards, while models 172.108550 and 172.108660 have black body housings and gray blade guards.
According to the recall, affected consumers should immediately remove the Craftsman label from the upper blade guard by following the instructions available at OSH.com on the Product Safety page.
