Abstract
A circular saw having a cantilever beam 12 which is adapted to be lifted and on which a sawing carriage including a saw blade 2 is guided for horizontal movement, comprises a sound protection hood 5 adapted to be lifted together with the cantilever beam 12. At its lower edge the sound protection hood 5 has a flexible crush-proof apron 49 which is made of a sound dampening flexible material and enters into sound-proof engagement with the table top 8 of the circular saw when the cantilever beam 12 with the sound protection hood 5 are lowered into the operating position. Hold down devices 40, 41, 42 mounted on the sound protection hood firmly hold the material 7 to be sawed on the table top 8 during the sawing process by means of strips 55, 72 which are of sound dampening material. The hold down devices are guided in parallel by a parallel guide means including racks and pinions so as to be biased 'passively' with respect to the sound protection hood 5 by means of pneumatic cylinders 43. The measures described effectively prevent undesired sound projection, particularly from the noiseful sawing process.
