Circular saw base plate

A circular saw including a base defining a longitudinal axis. The circular saw further includes a front bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a front end of the base and a rear bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a rear end of the base. The circular saw further includes a saw unit coupled to the base via the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. The circular saw further comprises a first fastener extending through a first elongated slot in one of the base or the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and a second fastener extending through a second elongated slot in one of the base or the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. Each of the first and second elongated slots extends along a lateral axis oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base to permit lateral adjustment of the saw unit relative to the base.

Circular saw with adjustable base

A portable circular saw including a housing that has a first housing side, a second housing side coupled to the second side, and a lower housing portion spanning the first housing side and the second housing side. The saw also includes a battery receptacle that is formed in the housing, and the battery receptacle extends partially into the first housing side and partially into the second housing side. The battery receptacle includes a bottom plate that is spaced apart from the lower housing portion to form an interior cavity within the housing. A drain feature extends between the bottom plate of the battery receptacle and the lower housing portion, and the drain feature defines an outlet for fluid in the battery receptacle.

Circular saw with drain feature

A circular saw includes a base with an opening therethrough, a blade guard coupled to the base, and a saw blade at least partially positioned within the blade guard and extending through the opening of the base. The saw blade and the blade guard are pivotable relative to the base to adjust a bevel angle of the saw blade relative to the base. The circular saw also includes a housing supported by the blade guard, a motor positioned within the housing that is operable to rotate the saw blade, and a bevel angle guide coupled between the base and the blade guard. The bevel angle guide configured to indicate the bevel angle at which the saw blade is adjusted. The bevel angle guide is integrally formed with the base as a single piece.

Circular saw

A power tool includes a housing having a motor housing portion and a handle portion coupled thereto, an arbor supported by the housing, a working element attachable to the arbor for movement therewith, a motor positioned within the motor housing portion and configured to drive the arbor, a first lighting element positioned proximate an end of the handle portion, and a second lighting element positioned on the motor housing portion. The first lighting element is configured to illuminate a workpiece behind the working element and the second lighting element is configured to illuminate the workpiece in front of the working element.

Compact multi-material cut-off tool

Circular saw shoe

A method of aligning a saw unit and a base. The saw unit further includes a front bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a front end of the base and a rear bevel angle adjustment bracket proximate a rear end of the base. The saw unit further comprises a first fastener extending through a first elongated slot in one of the base or the front bevel angle adjustment bracket and a second fastener extending through a second elongated slot in one of the base or the rear bevel angle adjustment bracket. Each of the first and second elongated slots extends along a lateral axis oriented transverse to the longitudinal axis of the base to permit lateral adjustment of the saw unit relative to the base.

A compact multi-material cut-off tool includes a housing, and an arbor rotatably supported by the housing upon which a cutting disk is attachable for co-rotation therewith. A motor is coupled to the arbor to provide torque thereto. A controller is operable to selectively drive the motor in a first rotational direction and an opposite, second rotational direction. A first lighting element is coupled to a first portion of the housing, and a second lighting element is coupled to a second portion of the housing. One of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the first rotational direction. The other of the first lighting element and the second lighting element is configured to be activated by the controller in response to the motor being driven in the second rotational direction.

A power tool includes a housing and an electric motor assembly supported in the housing. The electric motor assembly includes a stator core and a circuit board proximate an end of the stator core. The circuit board includes a heat-generating component facing away from the stator core. The electric motor assembly also includes an end cap coupled to the stator core and in thermal contact with the heat-generating component as a heat sink to remove thermal energy from the heat-generating component.

Electric motor assembly including end cap having heat sink for heat-generating electrical component

A power tool including a power base and a tool head. The power base includes a trigger and a motor such that the trigger actuatable to drive the motor. The tool head is driven by the motor, and includes a lockout mechanism that inhibits actuation of the trigger in a locked. The lockout mechanism is manually rotatable from the locked position to an unlocked position in which the trigger is actuatable to drive the motor.
