Dash-dot laser cutting guide tiltable from a housing for battery replacement

摘要

A jigsaw (10) generally includes a housing (12) that contains a motor (18) activated by a trigger assembly (20). A reciprocating shaft (24) is connected to the motor (18) that extends from the housing (12) toward a cutting area. A laser module (100) is contained with a housing (120) operable to produce a laser light pattern forward of the cutting area. An upper connection portion (122) releaseably connects the housing (120) of the laser module (100) to the housing (12) of the jigsaw. A lower connection portion (124) pivotally couples the housing (120) of the laser module to the housing (12) of the jigsaw to permit the housing of the laser module to tilt away from the housing of the jigsaw to provide access to a rear area of the laser module.
