Abstract

Handheld power tools with kickback detection and methods of detecting a kickback condition of a handheld power tool are disclosed herein. The methods include moving an implement of the handheld power tool within an implement motion plane and in detecting motion of the handheld power tool. The methods also include determining that the kickback condition exists based, at least in part, on the motion of the handheld power tool. In some embodiments, the handheld power tool is a circular saw that includes a user-actuated assembly. The user-actuated assembly includes a motion sensor, a controller, and a motor. The circular saw also includes a workpiece support and a pivot. The motion sensor is configured to detect acceleration along an acceleration detection axis that extends a threshold pivot axis-acceleration axis distance of at most 4 cm from a pivot axis of the pivot.

Abstract

The invention relates to a portable circular saw (10) comprising a sawblade holder (33) which is designed to secure a sawblade (30) and which can be rotated about a drive axis (34) by means of a drive assembly (20). A protective cover (24) is provided which surrounds a chip-guiding area (24.11), within which a sawblade receiving region (24.12) is formed which is arranged and designed to receive the sawblade (30) in a working position, wherein the protective cover (24) has a lateral outer wall (24.6) which delimits the chip-guiding area (24.11) on the face facing away from the drive assembly (20), and a lighting assembly (70) with at least one lighting element (71) is provided in order to illuminate the cutting region of the portable circular saw (10) at least in some regions. The lighting element (71) is arranged behind the sawblade receiving region (24.12) in the advancing direction (V) of the portable circular saw (10). In order to improve the operating comfort, the invention proposes that the lighting assembly (70) is arranged and designed such that light emitted by the lighting element (71) is emitted largely in the advancing direction (V) of the portable circular saw (10), in particular without producing glare for a user of the portable circular saw (10), and light emitted by the lighting element (71) runs in a light-guiding region (24.13) at least in some regions, preferably completely in the light-guiding region, said light-guiding region being separated from the dust-guiding region of the chip-guiding area (24.11).

The methods include moving an implement of the handheld power tool (8) within an implement motion plane and detecting motion of the handheld power tool (8). The methods also include determining that the kickback condition exists based, at least in part, on the motion of the handheld power tool (8). In some embodiments, the handheld power tool (8) is a circular saw (10) that includes a user-actuated assembly. The user-actuated assembly includes a motion sensor (110), a controller (120), and a motor (150). The circular saw (10) also includes a workpiece support (40) and a pivot (50). The motion sensor (110) is configured to detect acceleration along an acceleration detection axis (206) that extends a threshold pivot (50) axis-acceleration axis distance (56, 57, 59) of at most 4 cm from a pivot axis (52) of the pivot (50).

Abstract

Circular saws are disclosed herein. The circular saws include a cutting assembly, a base plate, a pivot assembly, and a pivot bias mechanism. The cutting assembly includes a motor and an arbor. The base plate defines an assembly-facing side and an assembly-opposed side. The pivot assembly operatively attaches the cutting assembly to the base plate. The cutting assembly and the base plate are configured to operatively rotate, relative to one another and about a pivot axis of the pivot assembly, to selectively vary a region of the circular saw blade that extends on the assembly-opposed side of the base plate. The pivot bias mechanism is configured to apply a linear force between the cutting assembly and the base plate in a linear bias direction that urges the cutting assembly and the base plate in opposed directions along the pivot axis.
