Description
The rip fence on these saws is made of silver extruded aluminum, is 31inches in length, and has an over-locking handle with a black die-cast aluminum head. They were included with Craftsman table saw model number 137.21830.
Hazard
The rip fence - a metal guide that keeps material being sawed from shifting side to side as it passes through the cutting blade - can come loose. This could result in kickback of the material being sawed and possible injury to the operator.
Remedy
The firm will provide free replacement parts with instructions to consumers.
Incidents and injuries
Rexon, on behalf of Sears, has received 230 reports of the rip fence bracket coming loose. No injuries were reported.
