    The product, in the report: Ryobi circular saw, CS0847 56595. Model CSB142LZK It is blue and yellow

    I have a Ryobi circular saw, CS0847 56595, Model CSB142LZK I purchased this about 7 years ago for a project. I have used it several times since then. I would say this gets little to moderate use. I was cutting a 2x6 when it began making an unusual noise. I stopped it, and noticed the blade was hitting the lower, movable blade guard. I too the blade off. The blade guard was completely loose. It is designed to sit on a round hard rubber piece that has a groove around it. A flat, circular spring is meant to hold the guard in place. The spring was off. I re-installed the spring, it worked a few times, and the same thing occurred. This is not a worn-out issue, it is a safety issue. I believe the saw should be recalled.

    The product, in the report: Ryobi 7 1/2” Circular Power Saw purchased at Home Depot

    This particular model has a plastic handle and metal base plate and blade guard. I was cutting a piece of wood when I touched the metal portion of the saw. I received quite a shock that knocked me over causing the saw to come into contact with my water heater causing a very large spark. It seems that whenever the saw is activated, line voltage is present on the metal parts of the saw.

    The product, in the report: 120v. 12 amp 4600rpm

    I just purchased a RYOBI circular saw at Home Depot. Model # CSB 123 U.S. 720-623 I am very surprised to find that it does not have a safety switch that must be used before the trigger will activate the motor. I believe that this is dangerous because this tool is always picked up by the handle and it is very easy to inadvertently pull the trigger when picking up the saw. Please note that I am not reporting an incident, but that field is required, so the date I entered represents the purchase date.
