Abstract: Permanent magnets are pre-positioned around an injection molded magnet carrier, and the magnet carrier together with the magnets is inserted through one end of a motor housing. Locating features of the magnet carrier position the magnets within the housing. Mounting features of the magnet carrier secure the magnets in place. Other features, including an end cap, can be appended to the magnet carrier to further aid assembly of the motor housing.

Abstract: Adjustable handles for road surface cutting saws are disclosed. The handles are elongated tubular members projecting rearwardly from opposite side edge sections of a generally vertically disposed housing. The handles are independently adjustable, forwardly and rearwardly in the longitudinal direction and angularly about a transverse horizontal axis, to position hand grips on the handles in optimum position for operator control of the saw, operator access to the saw controls and storage of the handles in a forwardmost position to enable the saw to be stored in a compact condition. A pair of substantially identical clamp assemblies including inner and outer clamp elements are mounted on the inside of the side walls adjacent the rear of the housing and clampingly hold the handles in the selected longitudinal and angular positions.
