摘要:
A rip guide (10) for a circular saw (14). The circular saw includes a housing (18) including a shoe plate (40) for supporting the circular saw on a workpiece (W). The circular saw also includes a motor supported by the housing and a saw blade (22) rotatably driven by the motor about an axis (26). The saw blade is operable to cut the workpiece in a cutting direction. The guide comprises a support member (96) supported on the housing; an arm (104) supported by the support member and extending from the housing in the cutting direction; and a guide member (108) supported by the arm so that the guide member is pivotally supported by the support member. The guide member extends from the housing in the cutting direction. The guide member includes first (112) and second (124) guide surfaces for selectively guiding the circular saw relative to first (120) and second (132) edges, respectively, of the workpiece. The guide member is pivotable between a working position and a stored position. As the saw blade cuts the workpiece with the guide member in the working position, the guide member does not cause the saw blade to bind on the workpiece and does not obscure the operator's vision of the saw blade.

An improved blade guard stop for a circular saw (10). The circular saw (10) includes a saw blade (38) driven by a motor for rotation about an axis (34), a blade guard (58) rotatable about the axis between a covered position, in which the saw blade is covered, and an uncovered position, in which the saw blade is exposed, a biasing member (62) biasing the blade guard (58) toward the covered position, and a flexible spring member (66) to absorb the rotational force of the blade guard and to absorb the biasing force of said biasing member. In the preferred embodiment, the spring member (66) is a leaf spring. Additionally, the circular saw includes an adjustable shoe plate (46) which changes the direction of impact of the blade guard on the spring member. The spring member absorbs the rotational force each adjusted direction. Also, the spring member and the blade guard are constructed of low friction materials so that movement of the blade guard against the spring member does not impede adjustment of the shoe plate of the circular saw.

A reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw includes a reciprocable spindle for supporting a saw blade for reciprocating sawing movement, a body housing a motor and a drive mechanism driven by the motor, the drive mechanism being operably connected to the spindle for causing reciprocation of the spindle, the body having a forward end supporting the spindle and a rearward end, and a hand grip (22) connected to the rearward end of the body, the hand grip being supported for movement relative to the body. Preferably, the hand grip is pivotable relative to the body.

摘要:
A power tool, such as a reciprocating saw (10), including a spindle for supporting a tool element, a body (14) defining a pivot axis (P) and housing a motor (30) and a drive mechanism driven by the motor (30), the drive mechanism driving the spindle, the body (14) having a forward end (16) supporting the spindle and a rearward end (18), and a grip (22) connected to the rearward end (18) of the body (14) for pivoting movement about the pivot axis (P). The reciprocating saw (10) may include a locking assembly (78) for locking the grip (22) in a pivoted position relative to the body (14) and a switch assembly (64) at least partially supported on the grip (22). The switch assembly (64) is preferably inoperable when the locking assembly (78) is in an unlocked condition, and the locking asembly (78) preferably cannot be moved to the unlocked condition when the switch assembly (64) is in an operating condition. Also, the reciprocating saw (10) may include a grip portion (34) provided by the body (14) and engageable by the operator's other hand. In addition, the reciprocating saw (10) may include a pivot-limiting assembly (98) for limiting pivoting movement of the grip (22) relative to the body (14) beyond a pivoted position.
