Patent number: 7497152Abstract: A movable handle and a power tool. The power tool comprises a housing, a motor supported by-the housing and operable to drive a tool element about an axis, and a handle supported by the housing for rotation relative to the housing about the axis. Preferably, the power tool is a circular saw. The circular saw further comprises a switch assembly supported on the handle for movement with the handle and means for connecting the switch to the motor to accommodate movement of the switch relative to the motor. The switch assembly is electrically connectable to the motor and selectively connects the motor to a power source, and the connecting means includes a wiring arrangement. The circular saw further comprises a locking assembly for locking the handle in a position relative to the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Milwaukee Electric Tool CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Michael Zeiler, Scott George Ahlswede, Richard Paul Brault, Jeffrey Scott Holly, Jeffrey Charles Hessenberger, Thomas Paul James
