A cut off saw including a housing; a motor; a gear case, the gear case having an end face which extends from the side of the housing; an output spindle for a cutting blade which passes through and extends from the end face of the gear case which is rotationally driven by the motor when the motor is activated; a guard rotatably mounted on the end face of the gear case and which surrounds at least part of the periphery of a cutting blade when the cutting blade is mounted on the output spindle; a side wall of the guard faces the end face and includes a series of recesses which face towards the end face; the end face facing towards the side wall of the guard includes a series of projections which are capable of aligning with and engaging with the recesses.

A power tool assembly including a cut off saw and a shroud wherein, when the shroud is mounted on the cut off saw, the guard of the cut off saw is located within the shroud trough section of the shroud and the shroud is locked to the guard by locating the engagement section under one of the lower front edge or lower rear edge of the guard and by pivoting the switch lever to its first position to locate the peg under the other of the lower front edge or lower rear edge of the guard.

A saw guard for attachment to a riving knife of a table saw includes a body portion having an elongated shape. The body portions defines a guard portion configured to cover a portion of a saw blade and an attachment portion. The attachment portion extends from the guard portion and defines a slot configured to receive the riving knife. The saw guard further includes an anchor piece connected to the body portion and arranged at least partially in the slot. The saw guard further includes an attachment assembly connected to the body portion and arranged at least partially in the slot and separated from the anchor piece. In a first configuration, the anchor piece and the attachment assembly may define a two-point attachment between the saw guard and the riving knife. In a second configuration, the attachment assembly may permit release of the saw guard from the riving knife.

A power tool with a rotatable tool designed as a saw blade or a milling cutter, including a sensor device for detecting a mechanical quantity, the mechanical quantity having a force, an acceleration, a velocity, a deflection, a deformation and/or a mechanical stress, and the mechanical quantity being dependent on a force emanating from the tool, and a control device communicatively coupled to the sensor device, which control device is adapted to recognize a kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity, where the control device is adapted to selectively determine a first recognition function or a second recognition function different from the first recognition function based on a function determination information, and to perform the recognition of the kickback event based on the detected mechanical quantity using the determined recognition function.

A power tool, including a support structure, a pivot bearing arranged on the support structure, a shaft mounted on the support structure via the pivot bearing, a rotatable tool coupled to the shaft, in particular a saw blade, milling cutter or grinding wheel, a strain gauge arrangement for detecting a mechanical quantity which depends on a force emanating from the tool, and a control device which is adapted to recognize an event and/or a state of the power tool according to the detected mechanical quantity. The strain gauge arrangement is arranged on a stationary structure section coupled in a force-transmitting manner to the pivot bearing and is not arranged on the pivot bearing.

A self-dust extraction dustless miter saw includes a pedestal, a disc mounted on the pedestal, and a sawing mechanism installed above the disc, the sawing mechanism includes a saw blade, a blade guard installed above the saw blade, and an upper dust extraction channel; the upper dust extraction channel is arranged at a lower rear of the blade guard and is configured to extract a dust carried by the saw blade while cutting; the self-dust extraction dustless miter saw further includes a lower dust extraction channel, the lower dust extraction channel is mounted to a rear of the disc, a first end of the lower dust extraction is connected with the disc, and a second end of the lower dust extraction channel is connected with a self-dust extraction device of the self-dust extraction dustless miter saw through a pipe.

A saw guard for attachment to a riving knife of a table saw includes a body portion having an elongated shape. The body portions defines a guard portion configured to cover a portion of a saw blade and an attachment portion. The attachment portion extends from the guard portion and defines a slot configured to receive the riving knife. The saw guard further includes an anchor piece connected to the body portion and arranged at least partially in the slot. The saw guard further includes an attachment assembly connected to the body portion and arranged at least partially in the slot and separated from the anchor piece. In a first configuration, the anchor piece and the attachment assembly may define a two-point attachment between the saw guard and the riving knife. In a second configuration, the attachment assembly may permit release of the saw guard from the riving knife.
