<p>A power tool 10, preferably a circular saw, comprises a housing 14, a motor (Figure 1, 18) operable to drive a tool element (Figure 1, 22) relative to a first axis and a handle 66, mounted on the housing 14 and capable of movement relative thereto. There is preferably a switch 142, mounted on the handle 66, capable of forming a connection between the motor and an electrical power source, the means for connecting the switch to the motor being adapted to accomodate the relative movement between the handle and the housing. The handle may also comprise a locking assembly 82, for locking the position of the handle relative to the housing, preferably, when the locking assembly is disengaged (ie when movement of the handle relative to the body is permitted), the switch is unable to make an electrical connection.</p> |
