Abstract
A housing for a power tool has an integral molded air channel or duct. The air channel surrounds the flywheel rotor of the power tool engine. The air channel is able to capture air pushed by the spinning flywheel rotor and direct the air directly towards the muffler of the engine. The air mixes with the exhaust gases from the muffler to reduce the temperature of the gases as they leave the housing.
