Company recalling circular hand saws due to problem with blades

WASHINGTON -- A Baltimore company is recalling about 55,000 circular hand saws because a problem can cause their blades to hit the lower guards and slip.

DeWALT Industrial Tool Co. has received one report of a blade slipping and a consumer receiving minor scratches to his hand, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

The recall involves 71/4-inch circular saws with model numbers DW368, DW368K or DW369CSK. The model number is on a black label near the handle of the saw or on a yellow sticker on the carrying case. The yellow saws have date codes 200128-F through 200152-F stamped on the bottom of the motor case.
