A device may include a transmission including: a master gear configured to engage the first pinion and the second pinion, an input pulley coupled to the master gear, the input pulley having a first diameter, and an output pulley coupled to an output shaft configured to rotate a saw blade, the output pulley having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus is provided including a housing, at least one battery receptacle for receiving at least one removable battery pack, an inverter that converts a direct-current (DC) signal from the at least one battery pack to an alternating-current (AC) signal, and a controller that applies a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal to the inverter to shape the AC signal with a lower harmonic distortion relative to a square wave. For each full cycle of the AC signal, the controller sets the duty cycle to approximately 100% within a first period corresponding to a peak area of the AC signal, to less than approximately 100% but greater than approximately 0% within a second period in which the AC signal transitions from the peak to a zero-cross following the first period, and to 0% within a third period corresponding to the zero-cross of the AC signal following the second period.
