Panasonic has recalled two metal cutter saw models: the EY3530NQMKW 15.6V Cordless Metal Cutter Kit and the EYC136NQK 15.6V Cordless Metal Cutter Combo Kit. The circular saws, which are approximately 13 inches long and weigh 6.7 pounds, have a defective lower blade guard that can become stuck in the fully retracted position and fail to automatically cover the blade, creating a laceration hazard to users. The recalled saws feature "Panasonic" printed in white letters on the upper blade guard, with "15.6 V" and "Metal Cutter Saw" printed in black letters with yellow highlights. Affected units have specific date codes printed on the bottom of the lower support between the battery and blade, ranging from 3120001–3120030, 4010001–4010030, 4030001–4030030, 4080001–4080060, and 5010001–5010060.
According to the recall, consumers who own these saws should immediately stop using them and contact Panasonic to request a return prepaid shipping label. Once Panasonic receives the recalled saw, the company will replace the safety guard and return the saw to the consumer.
