Abstract
Circular saws with lock assemblies are disclosed herein. The circular saws include a motor including a motor shaft configured to rotate about a shaft rotational axis. The circular saws also include an arbor configured to operatively attach a circular saw blade to the circular saw. The circular saws further include a switch configured to selectively apply an electric current to the motor and a switch lever configured to be selectively actuated, by a user of the circular saw and via an actuation force, to actuate the switch and direct the switch to apply the electric current to the motor. The lock assemblies include a switch lock, which defines a switch-locked configuration, in which the switch lock resists actuation of the switch lever by the user, and a switch-unlocked configuration, in which the switch lever is free to be actuated by the user.
