A saw including a lockout mechanism having a lever and a plunge stop. The lever has a trigger abutment surface and is movable between a safety position in which the trigger abutment surface inhibits actuation of a trigger and a use position in which the trigger abutment surface permits actuation of the trigger. The plunge stop is coupled to the lever and is movable with the lever between a first position and a second position. The first position corresponds with the safety position of the lever. In the first position, the plunge stop inhibits a motor housing of the saw from being moved from a raised position toward a plunged position. The second position corresponds with the use position of the lever. In the second position, the plunge stop permits the motor housing to be moved from the raised position toward the plunged position.

A circular saw includes a shoe, a shoe plate, a saw unit, and a trim angle adjustment mechanism. The saw unit includes a circular saw blade defining a blade plane, and the saw unit is coupled to the shoe by a shoe plate. The trim angle adjustment mechanism is operable to adjust a trim angle between a trim axis formed at an intersection of the blade plane and the shoe plane and a reference trim axis, the reference trim axis being parallel to a groove in a track along which the circular saw is slidable. The trim angle is adjustable to align the trim axis with the reference trim axis in response to sliding movement of the shoe plate relative to the shoe, the sliding movement caused by adjustment of the trim angle adjustment mechanism.
