Abstract
A lockout mechanism for use with a saw, the lockout mechanism including a lockout actuator, a lever, and a pin. The lockout actuator is movable between a safety position in which the lockout actuator inhibits actuation of a trigger and a use position in which the lockout actuator permits actuation of the trigger. The lever is coupled to and movable with the lockout actuator and the pin. The pin is movable between a first position and a second position. The first and second positions correspond with the safety position and use position, respectively. In the first position, the pin is configured to inhibit a motor housing from being moved from a raised position toward a plunged position. In the second position, the pin is configured to permit the motor housing to be moved from the raised position toward the plunged position.
