ADJUSTABLE SHOE ASSEMBLY FOR A RECIPROCATING SAW

摘要

A reciprocating saw includes a locking mechanism for a shoe of the reciprocating saw. The mechanism includes a lever mounted on the saw body movable to a first position where the saw blade is clamped in place. It also includes a lock pin with a body, a reduced circumference section, and a pin shoulder adjacent the reduced circumference section. The pin has a locked position where the pin shoulder abuts the shoe shoulder whereby the pin locks the shoe in place and an unlocked position where the shoe shoulder may translate through the clearance defined by the reduced circumference section. The lever urges the pin toward the locked position when the lever is in the first position.
