A panel cutter has a clamping mechanism positioned adjacent to the cutting path to hold the panel material in position during the cutting process. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping bar which is removably coupled to a pair of lever mechanisms which are rotatably coupled to the framework of the panel cutter. An actuator bar having cams at both ends is also coupled to the framework and position adjacent to the lever arms, wherein movement of the actuator bar causes movement of the lever arms. Based upon the configuration and positioning of these components, movement of the lever arms causes the clamping bar to move between a locked position and an unlocked position.

A rail system for a power tool has a base defining a work surface for supporting a workpiece, a support mounted to the base, a number of elongated rails slidably supported by the support for movement relative thereto, a yoke engaged to the number of elongated rails for movement with the elongated rails, and a power tool assembly supported by a yoke for performing an operation on the workpiece. A rail stop is movably mounted to one of the support and the yoke, the rail stop including a stop surface adapted to abut the other of the support and the yoke when the rail stop is in a first position between the yoke and the support. The rail stop is movable to a second position different from the first position.

A chainsaw 1 (electric-power-driven working device) comprises a body case 10, a cutting attachment 20 (work tool), a motor 30 and a battery 90. A front portion 11a of the body case 10 houses the motor 30 and a battery mount-and-release portion 12 is formed on a rear portion 11b of the body case 10. The battery 90 mounted on the battery mount-and-release portion 12 extends in an upper-lower direction across and over a middle portion in a height direction of the rear portion 11b of the body case 10. The side handle 50 arranged to a side face of the body case 10 extends from the front portion 11a to the rear portion 11b of the body case 10. A rear end portion 52 of the side handle is disposed rearward of and below an output shaft 31 of the motor 30.

A power tool includes a motor; a fan configured to be rotated by the motor to generate a cooling air; a housing accommodating therein the motor and the fan and defusing an air passage for the cooling air; an output shaft rotatable by the motor; and a transmission mechanism configured to transmit rotation of the motor to the output shaft. An end bit being attachable to and detachable from the output shaft. The transmission mechanism includes an intermediate shaft provided in the housing, a first belt transmitting a rotational force of the motor to the intermediate shaft, a second belt transmitting a rotational force of the intermediate shaft to the output shaft, and a rotation member transmitting a rotational force of the second belt to the output shaft. The first belt and the second belt are positioned inside a space through which the cooling air passes.
