<p>A saw comprising: a base assembly (102, 104) connected to a mounting portion (110); a motor unit (118) which is pivotally mounted on the mounting portion (110) to allow the motor unit (118) to pivot towards or away from the base assembly (2, 4) to perform chop cuts; the motor unit (118) having an output drive spindle (289) upon which a circular saw blade (120) can be rigidly mounted to be rotationally driven by the motor unit (118); a pivotal locking mechanism (500) which is capable of locking the motor unit (118) in its lowest pivotal position; table (114) mounted on the motor unit (118) to enable the saw to act as a table saw, a table height adjustment mechanism which is capable of adjusting the height of the table (114) above the motor unit (118);.characterised in that the pivotal locking mechanism and table (114) interact with each other to ensure that the table (114) is in its highest position when the motor unit (118) is not locked in its lowest position.</p> |
