Abstract
A power tool includes a table structure having a work surface and a motor assembly having an output drive positioned under the work surface. The motor assembly is adjustable relative to the work surface between a first position that is close to the work surface and a second position that is further from the work surface. A fan member is coupled to the motor assembly to generate an airflow. A blade case is positioned under the work surface including a first sidewall and an opposing second sidewall, and an air guide configured to channel the airflow into the blade case through an opening in the first sidewall. The air guide is further configured to move with the motor assembly between the first position and the second position. The air guide covers the opening in both the first position and the second position.
