A reciprocating saw comprises a housing, a blade assembly, a reciprocating rod assembly, a driving assembly and an operation mechanism. The blade assembly extends forward from one side of the housing, and comprises a positioning structure. The reciprocating rod assembly is detachably connected with the blade assembly and comprises a blade fixing structure and an unlocking component matched with the positioning structures. The driving assembly is accommodated in the housing, and drives the reciprocating rod assembly to drive the blade assembly to perform reciprocating motion. The operation mechanism is installed on the housing and moves between a locking position and an unlocking position and comprises an operation button, a drive cam matched with the unlocking components and an elastic reset component for resetting the operation button.

A hanger for suspending a chainsaw in a display is provided. The display may include a bar assembly that includes two parallel bars that project substantially parallel to each other. The hanger may include a first interface portion disposed at a first end of the body, and the first interface portion may include a first aperture and a second aperture. The hanger may additionally include a second interface portion disposed proximate to a second end, and a portion of the first face of the body may extend along a guide bar of the chainsaw. The second interface portion may align with a receiving orifice formed in the guide bar to enable a releasable fastener to operably couple the guide bar to the hanger. The first and second apertures may be configured to slidingly engage with the bars of the bar assembly to suspend the chainsaw from the bar assembly.

The present invention provides a handheld electric tool and a motor assembly for a handheld electric tool. The handheld electric tool of the present invention comprises a housing, a working member, a motor and a motor support. The motor support comprises a first part positioned at a far-side end of the motor and fixedly connected to the housing, and a second part extending from the first part into the interior of the motor and fixedly connected to a stator of the motor. The second part is provided with a first through-hole for a rotor shaft of the motor to pass through, and an output end of the rotor shaft extends through the first through-hole and drives the working member to move. The handheld electric tool provided in the present invention can prevent excessive transmission of motor vibration to the housing, and can pump fluid through the motor to cool components in the housing. Furthermore, the motor assembly of the present invention has an ingenious layout, making the machine as a whole smaller and more lightweight.

A method for identifying a log of origin of a first board, comprising an identification step, during which a second board (12) is identified which was obtained from the same log (2) as the first board (11) was obtained from, a studying step, during which identifying features of the second board (12) are identified, and a recognition step during which the log (2) of origin of the first board (11) is recognised, among a plurality of known logs (2) about which saved information is available, and this is done by identifying the log of origin of the second board (12), using the identifying features of the second board (12) itself.

Machines with safety systems are disclosed. The machine may take the form of woodworking machines including table saws, band saws, miter saws, hand-held circular saws, pneumatic chop saws, radial-arm saws, jointers, planars, routers and shapers. The machines may include an operative structure configured to perform a task, where the operative structure includes a cutting tool adapted to move in at least one motion, and a safety system adapted to detect the occurrence of an unsafe condition between a person and the cutting tool and for mitigating the unsafe condition. The safety system may include a detection subsystem and a reaction subsystem. The machine may also include a bypass or override mode where in an injury mitigation system is disabled for certain cuts.

Method, apparatus, and system for operation of a timber-working device configured to perform at least one operation having an associated hazard zone. At least one signal from at least one orientation sensor associated with the timber-working head may indicate whether a predetermined location is within the hazard zone based on the orientation of the timber-working head. Operation of the timber-working head can be controlled based on the signal.
