Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is a small orange circular saw blade made for carving wood. It has 13 teeth and is 4.5 inches wide.

What's happening? The blade can be put on a power tool called an angle grinder. This is not how it should be used. Using it this way can cause the tool to kick back or slip, leading to injuries.

Does this affect me? If you own or use this blade in Germany, you may be at risk of injury.

What should I do? Stop using the blade right away. Ask a hardware store worker or a tool expert for safe ways to use it. Talk to your doctor if you get hurt.
