  • Patent number: 6442841
    Abstract: A device in connection with a hand-operated working machine with a water flow directed to the working tool comprises a first control which is a control (15) for a drive motor (3) for the tool, and a second control which is a control (17) for the water supply to the tool. A water control valve (45) in a water supply conduit (14) can be adjusted to adopt chosen opening positions, and is arranged constantly to be kept open in any chosen opening position when the motor is running the tool under influence of the drive motor control. The chosen opening positions are adjustable, i.e. the through opening of the valve can be increased or decreased by using water supply control (17).

  • Patent number: 6374501
    Abstract: A portable, combustion engine powered cutting or sawing machine comprises a rear part (1) with a motor housing (3) with a combustion engine (4), an engine block (5) with a crank house, and a front part (2) with an annular blade (30) and a blade holder (31). The blade is provided in/or adjacent to a center blade (37) of the machine. The engine block forms a central body in the machine, including portions of said body on both sides of said center plane, and the blade holder comprises a blade holder chassis (35), which is provided substantially on a first side of said center plane. The blade holder chassis is fixedly connected on one hand with the portion of the engine block, which is located on said first side of the center blade, and on the other hand with a portion which is located on a second, opposite side of the center plane.

  • Patent number: 6336273
    Abstract: A device in connection with a cutting machine with an annular saw blade and with a driving mechanism for off-center drive of the blade. The device includes two first rollers arranged to contact and roll against the web of the saw blade on one side of the blade and two second rollers arranged to contact and roll against the web of the blade on the other, opposite side of the blade. The first rollers are mounted on a first shaft, which is movable along a path against the plane of the saw blade, perpendicularly to the centerline of the shaft, for pressing the first rollers with a certain desired force against the blade web under counter force by the second rollers on the opposite side of the blade.
