Reason the product is recalled
Ridge Tool Australia recently determined that the setscrews that retain the brush holders in these motors may not be properly tightened. This could allow the brush holder to back out and the brush lead to contact the motor housing. If a machine in this condition is used with an improperly grounded power supply, this could result in an electrical shock or fire hazard which could cause serious injury or death.
The hazards to consumers
Electric shock and fire.
What consumers should do
