A hand tool includes a replaceable cutting portion having an elongate cutting surface, a body and a handle. The body receives displaceable protecting apparatus for shielding the cutting surface of the cutting portion when not in use. A forward distal end of the protecting apparatus contacts a portion of the surface of the object to be cut such that when pressure is applied against the object surface displacement of the protecting apparatus relative to the replaceable cutting portion is effected to expose only as much of the cutting surface as needed to effect the required cut. Alignment means maintain alignment of the replaceable cutting portion relative to the protecting apparatus throughout the cutting. When the cutting action is completed resilience means facilitates return of the protecting apparatus so the cutting surface is no longer exposed.

Fanned air generated by a fan to cool a motor is discharged from a housing through fanned air discharge ports toward an opening formed in a base. The fanned air discharged toward the opening is then introduced into a groove in fluid communication with the opening. The groove is formed in a bottom surface of the base and has an open side at a front side of the base. The fanned air is then discharged from the front side of the base, blowing off saw dust on a cutting object so as to prevent dust from accumulating on a marking line on the cutting object.

The invention relates to a power tool (1), especially in the form of a hand-held jigsaw (2). In order to allow for a semi-autonomous operation which assists the user to guide the tool, the tool is provided with a sensor system (27) for observing a detection surface (31, 43) within which the desired working direction is detected as a path default (23) for the saw blade (8) serving as the tool (7) with respect to its alignment relative to the jigsaw (2), the detected path default being intended for downstream control means (26). Said control means align the saw blade (8) relative to the path default (23) by rotating it about its longitudinal axis (25) so that the user guiding the saw blade (2) only has to make sure that the path default (23) extends inside the detection surface (31, 43).

Hand-held appliance for preparation of an excised skin graft, that is placed upon a plane surface, by tangential excision of tissue below the epidermis to produce a trimmed skin graft of desired remaining tissue layers and thickness with a blade that is held between two holding rods, that can be placed on a plane surface and that is held in a height-adjustable axis parallel to the surface. The end regions of the rods are shaped so that the distance between the axis and the contact surface of the edge of the end regions to the surface changes at least by sections, while the minimal distance and the maximal distance define the lowest and the highest cutting plane, respectively, so that the distance of the cutting plane is defined by the operating angle between the plane of the rods and the surface.

The reciprocating saw has a main body, a support member, a guide shoe, a locking member and an engaging member. The support member can be slid relative to the main body. The guide shoe is attached to an anterior end of the support member. The locking member can be switched between a state allowing the support member to be slid relative to the main body and a state not allowing the sliding. The engaging member is energized towards the support member. The engaging member and the support member engage or release their engagement, while the support member is being slid relative to the main body across a location allowing locking and a location not allowing locking.

The present invention discloses an adjustable base for a portable saw and a portable saw therefore. The base includes a longitudinal shell secured to the housing, and mounted to a baseplate. A shaft is mounted to the housing extending through a slot formed in the shell. A collar is connected to the shaft and has a first cam surface cooperating with a corresponding second cam surface of the housing. Rotation of the collar in an unlocked direction extends the shaft away from the housing. A clamp member is received within a shell inner region and cooperates with the shaft. The shaft is threadably engaged to one of the collar, the housing or the clamp member so that rotation of the collar in the unlocked direction either extends the shaft further away from the housing or extends the clamp member along the shaft away from the housing.

A battery-operated hand power tool (10), in particular a power saw (101), having a housing (12) into which a battery pack (28) can be detachably inserted in captive fashion, and between the battery pack (28) and the housing (12), an elongated auxiliary tool (38) is stored, in particular for releasing the tool, preferably the saw blade, is made more secure and convenient to manipulate by disposing the auxiliary tool (38) in such a way that it is visible from outside and is easy to feel, and in particular can be reached through.

A circular saw has a housing, a direct current motor, a battery assembly, a handle having first and second ends, a circular saw blade and a base plate. The motor is located outside of an area defined by the radius of the circular blade and between the first and second ends of the handle and the blade is laterally aligned with the handle. The circular saw also has a center of gravity which lies close to the plane defined by the saw blade, is below the handle and is within the length of the base plate. As a result of this arrangement, the circular saw of the present invention reduces the influence of the torque created during a cutting operation and improves the balance and operation of the circular saw.

A circular saw (1) includes a base (2) and a main body (3) mounted on the base and provided with an upper blade guard (7). Disposed behind the upper blade guard (7) is a stopper (22) which includes an upper curved portion (23) and an lower portion (24) coupled to the curved portion (23). One end of the lower portion (24) is attached to the main body (3) with a pivot screw (25) behind the blade guard (7) so as to permit the stopper to pivot on the screw (25) in parallel with a circular blade (5). Additionally, the curved portion (23) includes an arcuate guide slot (26). The stopper (22) further includes a fixing bolt (27) screwed in a boss (29) formed on the rear surface of the blade guard. The bolt (27) includes a lever (30) to be manually operated to selectively secure the curved portion to the bolt and release the curved portion therefrom. When the curved portion (23) is released, its pivotal position relative to the main body towards the base can be manually changed. Provided on the base is a projection (32) which is abutted by the stopper (22) when the main body (3) is lowered toward the base (2). When the curved portion (23) abuts the projection's upper surface (33), the amount of the blade (5) projecting below the base (i.e., the depth of cut) corresponds to the aforementioned relative position of the curved portion (23) with respect to the base (2).
