Abstract
A reciprocating saw includes a housing, a motor positioned within the housing, and a shoe coupled to the housing. The shoe is configured to engage a workpiece. The reciprocating saw also includes a proximity sensor configured to detect the workpiece when engaged with the shoe. In response to the proximity sensor detecting formation of a gap between the shoe and the workpiece, the proximity sensor is operable to deactivate the motor.
