CPSC, S-B Power Tool Company Alert Owners of Bosch
Mini-Grinder
WASHINGTON, D.C. CPSC and S-B Power Tool Company are
alerting 150 owners of portable Bosch Mini-Grinders that the
wrong wheel guard was sold with the grinders. If the
misfitting wheel guard loosens and touches the high-speed
grinding wheel, consumers could be injured by parts of the
shattered wheel.
S-B Power Tool urges recent purchasers of portable
Bosch Mini-Grinders, models 1347A and 1347AK, to check the
inside of the wheel guard collar for a metal bump that
would prevent the guard from being clamped on the grinder
securely. These guards should be removed and returned for
the correct-fitting guards.
S-B Power Tool has sold 150 portable Bosch Mini-Grinders
with the wrong wheel guard since August 1996 in mass
merchandise stores nationwide for about $150. No injuries
have been reported. However, the company is alerting
customers to check for and replace the misfitting guard to
prevent potential serious injuries.
Consumers should call (800) 301-8255, Ext. 3300 between
8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CST for a correct-fitting guard free
of charge, if their guard has the metal bump. Or consumers
may take the wrong guard to the nearest authorized
Skil-Bosch Service Center for the correct-fitting guard.
