Bosch Recalls Circular Saws
6/29/2005
 About 69,000 Bosch circular saws are being recalled because the lower blade guard can malfunction and create a risk of serious injury, including amputation.
So far, there have been three reports of malfunctioning lower guards, including one incident that resulted in an amputation, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The recalled saws, which use a 7 1/4-inch blade, include the BOSCH CS10, CS20 and CS20-XC models. They can be identified by looking at the product nameplate on top of the motor housing. The recalled models do not have an asterisk in the serial number box.
The saws were sold nationwide from February 2004 to April 2005 for between $120 and $150. Consumers should stop using these saws and contact Robert Bosch Tool Corp. of Mount Prospect, Ill. to receive a repair kit, which includes hardware and instructions for installation.
Contact the company at 1-800-856-9683 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
