The present invention is an attachable rolling plate assembly which can be attached as a single unit to a portable cutting tool to facilitate the safe rolling movement of the portable cutting tool on the workpiece. The invention comprises a frame assembly formed from a single piece of molded material such as fiber enriched plastic having a pair of oppositely disposed longitudinal sidewalls with stabilizer ribs extending therefrom, and a flat base portion having and opening through which a saw of a power saw extends. The plate has front and rear fastening members to retain a plate of a power cutting saw onto the rolling plate assembly. The invention also includes a cutting guide assembly to facilitate a straight cut, reduce torsional rotation of the saw blade and reduce kickback of the saw.

A working machine includes: an output shaft to which a tip tool is attachable; a housing rotatably supporting the output shaft; and a protection cover attached to the housing so as to cover an outer periphery of the tip tool which is attached to the output shaft. The protection cover is configured to be displaceable between a processing position to expose a part of the outer periphery of the tip tool to thereby allow cutting of a workpiece, and a protecting position to cover the outer periphery of the tip tool more than in the processing position, and is biased by a biasing member to be displaced from the processing position to the protecting position.

To provide a cutting machine that suppresses swinging of the cutting portion when the battery pack is attached or detached, the cutting machine includes a cutting portion, a base, and a swing support mechanism. The cutting portion includes: a motor, a motor housing accommodating the motor, an output shaft configured to be rotated upon rotation of the motor, a battery pack serving as a power source of the motor, and a battery pack attaching portion including a pair of rail portions with which the battery pack is engageable, where a cutting blade is configured to be detachably attached to the output shaft. The base has a contact surface on which a workpiece is configured to be placed. The swing support mechanism is connected to the base and the cutting portion and includes a swing shaft extending in parallel to the output shaft. The swing support mechanism supporting the cutting portion such that the cutting portion is swingable about the swing shaft between a top dead center and a bottom dead center in a direction parallel to a side surface of the cutting blade. The pair of rail portions extend in a direction crossing the side surface of the cutting blade.

A power tool includes a housing and a hook assembly. The hook assembly includes a hook support and a hook member. The hook support is rotatably attached to the housing for rotation about a first axis. The hook member has a shank portion and a hook portion. The shank portion defines a second axis that is transverse to the first axis and is configured to rotate with respect to the hook support about the second axis.

A power tool and a detection method for the power tool. The detection method includes collecting acceleration data, via use of an acceleration sensor of the power tool, along a tangential direction of a rotation axis of a working portion of the power tool, determining whether a proportion of the collected acceleration data that exceeds a first acceleration threshold in a preset time window exceeds a preset value, and determining that a kickback occurs in the power tool when the proportion exceeds the preset value.

A circular saw, in particular hand circular saw, is disclosed. The circular saw has a workpiece support surface, a saw blade and a protective cover, which covers the saw blade in a region above a workpiece to be processed. The protective cover has such a geometry and position with respect to the saw blade that a straight line, which originates from the first deflection of a tangent applied at the intersection of the saw blade circumference with the workpiece support surface from the protective cover encloses an angle of up to 30, in particular up to 20, with a line perpendicular to the workpiece support surface.

A saw machine system includes a modular saw machine and a plurality of saw machine implements, wherein the modular saw machine is selectively coupled to the saw machine implements to transform one type of saw machine to another saw machine. By selectively coupling the modular saw machine to the saw machine implement, the saw machine system becomes one of a portable hand-held saw machine, a fixed cutting-head saw machine, and a cutting-head guide-by-rail saw machine.
