Description
The saws are used for the removal of floors or cutting flooring in the toe kick area under cabinets. Only Model 795, which has a blue handle and motor housing, is included in this recall. "Model 795" and "Crain Toe-Kick Saw" are printed on a label on the blue motor housing.
Hazard
The saw's plastic handle can break, causing the user to lose control of the saw, which could kick back and present a laceration hazard, if the blade is in motion.

Consumers should immediately stop using the saws and contact any Crain distributor for a free repair, or contact Crain Cutter Co. Inc. for a free repair kit.
Incidents and injuries
Crain Cutter received reports of 25 incidents of the saw's handle breaking and one report of a laceration, in which a user's leg and torso were cut.
