Abstract: A power tool (e.g. a laminate trimmer 10) includes an adjustable support for setting the position of the motor unit (16). The support includes a first collar element (24) secured to the motor and a support upright (14). A stud (32) threadedly secured to the collar is slidable in a slot (28) and co-operates with the slot (28) to maintain confronting surfaces (14a and 26a) of the elements in face to face engagement. The elements are thus constrained to slide only in a direction parallel to the upright (14). A clamping screw (36) threadedly engaged in the stud can be tightened to lock the adjustable support at a desired position. The arrangement provides high stability to permit adjustment of the motor position even when the motor is operating.
