kmmcrafts Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 This was actually posted down in the "Deals" section of the village over a month ago.. I just seen it last night and checked this morning and my saw is one in the recall group. I bought my saw based on reviews from asking here so I know many of you own the same models of saw.. I thought it might get seen more if I posted this up here in the general forum section. Here is a link to the recall info: https://www.dewalt.com/miter-saw-recall I just filled out the info in the link and they are sending me a new guard with replacement instructions..

rustynail Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Funny you posted this today as I just got my replacement part in the mail today. It took almost 1 1/2 month to get. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 My replacement parts have been on order for about 1 1/2 months. Maybe it will arrive soon. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 Yeah, I wondered how well they'll handle this as far as how fast they'll get the parts out.. They say not to use it until the issue is repaired.. but who's gonna wait 2 + weeks let alone 6-8 weeks.. I don't use mine daily for the most part but I do use it a couple times a week.. some weeks a lot of use and others maybe not at all.. But if I need to use it I'm going to use it..

Everything in life is a gamble so we each have to choose the risks. I used mine twice since the recall and I'll use it again as soon as my bum arm heals.

Oldmansbike Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have been using mine since the original part broke about a year ago. I tried to order it when it broke and it wasn't available anywhere. So I wonder if they were aware of the problem back then but didn't have a fix for it yet.

Just be careful as you are not covered once they warned you. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 Thank I hadn't seen or heard of this going on. I will check but I do not think it affects my model. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted September 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I got a email saying I should receive it in about 4 weeks. We’ll see about that. I’ll try to remember to update this as it moves forward. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted October 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Just wanted to update and say that my part showed up today.. maybe they had a huge amount of them at first to mail out because mine showed up much faster than what others have mentioned. Now to find time to get it installed.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
