Hurt, no treatment Made Sep 1, 2016, sent to the company Sep 12, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 26, 2016
The product, in the report: Kobalt, 7 inch sliding tile saw model #KWS S7-06 made by Lowes kobalttools.com
We recently bought this saw from Lowes and the first time my son-in-law tried to use it he receive a very stong shock when he tried to turn off the saw. My son-in-law, daughter and myself all checked the manual and no where in there was a warning not to turn the saw off with wet hands. Since it is a water saw for tile. When you are using it the way it is mean to be used, your hands are going to get wet. There were all kinds of warning about the plug getting wet, but no mention not to touch the on off switch with wet hands. There fore he received a server shock. Again since this is a water saw and ment to used with water, this really needs to be a warning. he did not have get medical attention, but it should never have happen and there should be warning in the manual.
