Abstract
A saw assembly (10) for sawing portions of a floor (24) adjacent to a vertical wall (26) and below and overhang (28) including a blade driving subassembly (12) having housing (30) with a forward extending, low profile saw arm (52). The housing holds a trigger switch (36), an electric motor (32) and a drive shaft (34) with a threaded saw attachment end (62). The saw attachment end (62) extends beyond a rest ting (56) on the distal end of the saw arm (52). The electric motor (32) drives a blade subassembly (12) including a circular blade (66), a blade collar (65), and a locking nut (64) which are attached to the saw attachment end (62). The blade driving subassembly (14) is attached to a floor plate subassembly (18). A blade guard (22) covers a portion of the circular saw (66) exposing a downwardly extending cutting portion (76). An outrigger subassembly (16) includes two outrigger arms (116) which lock into an outwardly extending position, contacting a floor (24). The outrigger subassembly (16) resists any rotational movement translated to the blade driving subassembly (14) by torque generated from cutting resistance to the circular blade (66).
