Patent

CA 2476086

There is disclosed a power tool comprising a housing (3), a motor provided in the housing and having a rotary output shaft, a reciprocating output shaft adapted to be caused by the motor to execute reciprocating motion to actuate a blade assembly, and a handle assembly (2, 102) comprising a front handle (6, 106) and a rear handle (7, 107) integral with the front handle. The handle assembly (2, 102) is pivotably mounted to the housing of the power tool and is adapted to be fixed in a plurality of orientations relative to the housing. By providing a handle assembly with integrally formed front and rear handles that is pivotable relative to the body of the power tool, this provides the advantage of avoiding the need for a user to hold the tool upside down when using the blade assembly to perform high-up horizontal cutting, instead of holding the tool above the user's head. The present invention also provides the advantage of reducing the extent to which a user must bend down when using the blade assembly to perform low-down horizontal cutting. The power tool may also comprise fixing means adapted to releasably retain the handle assembly (2, 102) in a plurality of orientations relative to the housing (3).
