Abstract
A circular power saw includes a housing enclosing a motor and a circular saw blade rotatably driven by the motor. The housing is pivotally mounted to a base so that the saw blade may be positioned in a plurality of cutting planes. An adjustment member is mounted to the base and connected to the housing to releasably retain the housing in a plurality of positions corresponding to the different cutting planes. The adjustment member has first and second stops that correspond to first and second planar positions of the cutting blade and a stop engagement member is adapted to engage the first and second stops. The stop engagement member has a first configuration wherein the first and second positions planar positions define the limits of the planar positioning of the blade. The stop engagement member has a second configuration where at least one planar position different than the first and second planar positions defines a limit of planar positioning of the blade. In the preferred embodiment with the engagement member in its second configuration third and fourth planar positions define the limits of planar positioning of the blade. The engagement member is selectively adjustable between…
