Incident: On the 5th use, the table saw began smoking, while I was cutting 1/2 plywood, the saw was working fine up to the point of smoking, noticed flames licking up from under the top of the saw, unplugged it and threw it outside to be extinguished with the hose, saw was hardly used and never abused before the fire. Shirt got melted from fire but was uninjured and responded quickly enough to prevent damage to building. Porter Cable is offering a partial refund only, buyer beware.
