This power tool has no safety switch. Also the way to hold the product does not provide a trustworthy way to keep held where the blade won't hurt an operator There were no injuries but only because I caught it almost happen Tool Shop 6-Amp Corded Reciprocating Saw Model Number: MRS600SE Menards SKU: 2419865

Reciprocating saw has a failure, power does not disable after the safety button is released. Caller stated that she could not get the power to turn off when she took her hand off the trigger. The saw kept running and was extremely dangerous. Caller stated that the saw is a replacement (62370) for the original (65570) which had a failure in not working. Caller stated that she informed the store managers about the issue she was having but they were unwilling to assist her in replacing it or refunding it. Caller feels that this saw is unsafe and should be recalled.

My left index finger was crushed by DeWalt DCS369 reciprocating saw while cutting 2x4. Fingers were nearly crushed several times before and after this incident. Blade release tab on reciprocating piston crushed finger against saw body. Tab is unguarded and located adjacent to area used to leverage cut. I have photos that better explain. I contacted DeWalt 18 Nov 21 and was told I would be contacted. I am still awaiting contact. [REDACTED]

The 10Amp Bauer 1975E-B Reciprocating Saw is extremely dangerous, and based on my most recent personal experience I believe that the position of the large, protruding, auto-lock button right next to the trigger has the potential to be a deadly design flaw. No other brands of [REDACTED]’s that I had seen put a lock button next to the trigger that can easily be pressed accidentally and unknowingly with only the palm of your hand. In fact, not even all of the models of Harbor Freight reciprocating saws are designed this way. After further research, I only found the [REDACTED] to have a similar large button and placement. Many saws do not even have this auto-lock button, and the ones that do have one, have it as a small button (half the size or smaller than the button Bauer model 1975E-B) placed above the trigger—completely out of the way of the natural hand placement for holding the saw. has the potential to be a deadly design flaw.

Despite working with power tools from a young age, I have never had any injury that required a visit to the hospital —even through decades of working with various power tools. That changed on the afternoon of October 6, 2023, because I had a terrifying experience that I hope no one else will ever have to face that was caused by this dangerous auto-lock feature.
