<p>A saw (10) comprises a housing (23), a drive spindle (20) rotatably mounted in the housing and a circular saw blade (72) adapted to be releasably mounted on one end of the spindle. The blade fits over the threaded end (25) of the spindle and a nut (26) clamps the blade to the spindle. The spindle is in the form of a sleeve and is rotatable about a shaft (22) fixed in the housing. The bore (30) through the end of the spindle is of hexagonal section and corresponds with a bore (32) formed in the end of the shaft. A wrench (40) is used to remove the blade and has a socket (48) to engage the nut and a freely rotatable pin (50) which also has a hexagonal section and which is adapted to fit in the bores (30,32) when the socket is on the nut and lock the spindle to the shaft. <IMAGE></p> |
