Abstract: A saw assembly and saw blade housing are disclosed. The housing includes a pocket portion configured to expose a portion of the saw blade for cutting of material. The housing includes an enclosure portion configured to enclose a portion of the saw blade that is not exposed by the pocket portion. The housing includes an entrance region through which the saw teeth pass during operation of the saw blade in order to enter the enclosure portion from the pocket portion. The housing includes an exhaust vent located within the enclosure portion of the housing and downstream of the entrance region, from the perspective of the operational rotation of the saw blade. The exhaust vent is configured to redirect debris material entering the enclosure portion of the housing via the entrance region, the debris material being redirected in a forward direction from the perspective of a cutting operation utilizing the saw blade.

Abstract: An air precleaner includes a housing defining an air chamber with a downwardly opening outlet and a pair of side inlets. A plurality of vanes in the air chamber define two pathways for intake air to flow from the inlet openings around bends of more than 90 degrees to the outlet opening. The pathways initially narrow to increase the velocity of air in the bends. An ejection compartment between the pathways includes two ejection openings at the ends of the bends for receiving contaminants transferred to an outer layer of the air by centrifugal force. The collected contaminants exit the housing through an evacuation opening. Downstream of the ejection openings, the pathways gradually widen to decrease the velocity of the precleaned air prior to reaching the outlet opening. The precleaner may be applied to an engine intake air cleaner or to the intake air of a cooling package.
