Portable Cutting Device With Blade Guard

摘要

A portable cutting device having a cutting tool for cutting a material. The cutting device includes a motor driving the cutting tool and a shroud at least partially enclosing the cutting tool. The shroud defines a debris accumulation chamber for gathering debris created by the cutting tool cutting the material. An impeller is operatively coupled to the motor and driven by the motor to create suction pressure to draw the debris out of the debris accumulation chamber and into a collection bag.

主权项

1. A cutting device comprising:
a motor for driving a cutting blade to cut material; a shroud configured to at least partially enclose the cutting blade, said shroud defining a debris chamber into which material debris generated by the cutting blade during cutting is received; a source of vacuum in fluid communication with said debris chamber; a vacuum conduit defining a vacuum path extending between said debris chamber and said source of vacuum; and a blade guard rotatable relative to said shroud from an extended position outside of said shroud to a retracted position inside of said shroud, said blade guard defining an opening configured to provide communication between said debris chamber and said vacuum conduit.
