Mitre saw with bench
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The Mader Excel Mitre Saw with Bench (Model MEX-92501, 1560W-250MM) poses serious injury risks due to multiple defective guards and design flaws. The plastic guards are fragile and defective, breaking easily during normal use. In mitre mode, the upper guard allows finger contact with the saw blade teeth, the lower guard fastening breaks without effort, and the rear guard has manufacturing defects that cause it to break when the disc is fitted, exposing approximately 5 centimeters of blade teeth. Additionally, the cutting disc can be fitted in an off-center position because it lacks proper clamp flanges and guide mechanisms, causing dangerous vibrations, resonant noise, and potential blade loosening during operation. The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive or European standard EN 12100.
Authorities have ordered a sales ban and withdrawal of this product from the market. According to the recall record, no specific remedy or consumer action steps are specified.

The product poses a serious risk of injuries because: - the plastics of the guards are defective,- the guards are fragile,- in mitre mode the fixed upper guard allows the test finger to come into contact with the teeth of the cutting disc,- the fastening anchorage of the lower protector in mitre mode is too fragile, it breaks without any effort in attempting to fit it, and cannot therefore be used,- the rear guard of the cutting disc in the mitre position is plastic with manufacturing defects which make it very fragile, it breaks when the disc is fitted, leaving a great number of cutting disc teeth (approximately 5 cm) exposed (para.s 1.4.1/2/3),- the cutting disc can be fitted in a very eccentric position in its housing because it does not have clamp flanges, an effective guide for the disc or if the spindle is too small for the disc supplied. When the disc is off-centre it causes strong vibrations when starting up and stopping. It also causes resonance at maximum power which causes a loud, piercing noise and could cause the flanges to loosen, leaving the cutting disc loose.The product does not comply with Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 12100.
