Title:
CLAMPING ARRANGEMENT FOR RECEIVING A SAW BLADE IN MULTIPHE ORIENTATIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004062862
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A saw blade clamping arrangement (500) for a power tool includes a clamp support (502), a biasing member (524) and an actuation member (504). The clamp support (502) is interconnected with the drive shaft (30) for reciprocating motion with the drive shaft (30) relative to a housing (20) of the power tool (10). The clamp support (502) is configured to selectively receive a saw blade (38) of the power tool (10) in various orientations. A release lever (532) is carried by the housing (20) and is manually rotated to move a control member (524) between a first position in which the saw blade (38) is coupled to the drive shaft (30) and a second position in which the saw blade may be displaced from the drive shaft. In at least one of the orientations, the saw blade (38) is positioned offset from the drive shaft and proximate one of the side walls of the tool housing to allow for flush cutting of a work piece.
