Jigsaw

摘要

A jigsaw (100) that uses a cutting blade (114) generally includes a housing (102) containing a motor (108) activated by a trigger assembly (110). A blade storage compartment (604) is recessed in the housing (102). A platform (608) is provided in the blade storage compartment (604) having a first edge (652) that at least partially defines a first recess (650) that extends further into the housing (102) beyond the platform (608). A member is connected to the platform that produces a magnetic field (622) that releasably secures the cutting blade (114) to the platform (608). The magnetic field is configured to permit a user to tilt the cutting blade about the first edge (652) of the platform into the first recess (650) to overcome the magnetic field and remove the cutting blade (114) from the storage compartment (604).
