| Description | March 27, 1996 Release # 96-088 WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Ryobi America Corporation of Anderson, S.C., is announcing a recall to repair approximately 150,000 10-inch table saws. On some saws, the power switch lock-off mechanism may not work, and as a result, children and others who should not have access to the saw could be injured by the moving blade.Ryobi has not received reports of any injuries associated with this problem. All table saws which may have this problem have large rectangular ON/OFF buttons.In order to turn the saw on, a switch lock-off key (referred to in the owner's manual as a key plate) must be in place around the ON button. In some cases, if the OFF button is not completely depressed, consumers may be able to restart the table saw without the key. As a result, consumers could be accidentally cut or injured.The saws, weighing 75 pounds each, have a 10-inch blade and a sliding miter table.The table saws were sold under the brand names and model numbers "Ryobi BT3000" and "Sears Craftsman Model 315.22185." Various home centers and hardware stores sold the Ryobi saws nationwide starting in May 1991.… |
