1) Manufacturer 

A) The NLC fact sheet has the argument given by manufacturers that “If consumers want to pay extra for safety, they can buy the safe table saw that is now on the market.”

B) The claim is stating that if they want safety then they should pay for it upfront instead of attacking companies.

C) Proposal claim

D) This claim is true in saying they don’t have to put saw stops in their saws if they don’t want to. It’s not their fault these accidents are happening and If the consumers really want the technology it is out there so go buy it.

3) Industrial Spokespeople

A) “SawStop is currently available in the marketplace to any consumer who chooses to purchase it,” says Susan Young, who represents Black & Decker, Bosch, Makita and other power tool companies.

B)Susan young is stating that the technology is out there and it is up to the consumer whether they want to buy it or not.

C)  Proposal claim

D) From an industrial spokesperson position this claim has support to it.The technology is out there and you can buy it if you choose to. It is perfectly reasonable to say that Black and Decker doesn’t have the technology so if you want it go somewhere else.

4) Consumer Safety Advocates

A)The NCL fact sheet  Current table saw safety standards have proven ineffective in protecting consumers.

B) The current safety technology standards for table saws has not reduced the amount of injuries.

C) Definitional

D) People are still getting hurt by table saws with the current safety precautions. This is clearly showing the need for the saw stop technology which they continue to say can reduce injuries.

5) Injured Plaintiffs

A) A man who was cut by a miter saw says Robert Bosch Tool Corp. “colluded with its competitors” and lobbied the Consumer Protection Safety Commission to keep “flesh detection and braking technology” from being required on table saws.

B) This claim insists that the Bosch Tool Corp. and other companies tried to convince the Consumer protection safety Commission to keep the saw stop technology from being required.

C) Casual Claim

D) The man making this claim is making a large accusation against the manufacturers saying that they all conspired for their own benefit over the safety of their consumers. While his claim is believable and logical he doesn’t have factual proof of it which just leaves this as a casual claim. While hes claim is logical and reasonable he could have easily bought a safer saw but ow he is arguing the companies.

6) Personal Injury Lawyers

B) The official tried to get the saw industry to fix the safety issues they are having.

C) Casual

D) The claim shows his effort to change the saw industry by stressing injuries that are occurring everyday. These injuries are true and the safety of these saws needs to change.

8) News Reporters

A) No offense, but I don’t think this is a move by Bosch (or any other tool manufacturer for that matter) to prevent safety devices, but simply a move to prevent the unintended consequences of adding mandatory safety devices that would, in some instances, double the price of entry-level power saws.

B) He is saying that companies don’t oppose the saw stop technology but they rather don’t want their prices and manufacturing costs to go up if it becomes required.

C) Casual claim

D) The writers claim is more of an opinion that has no sound backing but is believable. It is a solid reason for companies to oppose adopting the technology. Most companies aren’t just against safety.
