Abstract: A power tool includes a handle including a support portion movably supportable on a housing portion and extending substantially about the circumference of the housing portion. The support portion may include a second end movable relative to a first end such that the support portion selectively applies a force to the housing portion. The tool may include a bevel angle detent mechanism in which one of the detent member and the recess is angularly adjustable relative to the associated one of the detent support and the recess support to adjust the predetermined bevel angle position. A bevel angle detent mechanism may include an engagement operating assembly operable between a detent engagement-enabled condition, in which the detent member is engageable in the recess, and a detent engagement-prevention condition, in which the detent member is prevented from engaging the recess. The tool may include a spindle lock assembly.

Abstract: A cam drive hammer mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a drive mechanism housing connectable to the housing of the power tool, a first cam member, a second cam member and a gear assembly for drivingly connecting the first cam member and the second cam member to the drive shaft for counter-rotation. The first cam member and the second cam member each have at least one of cam surface, the cam surfaces being oriented at a steep angle with respect to the axis of the tool element, each of the cam surfaces being complementary and engageable with one another. The second cam member includes an impacting surface for engaging the tool element to provide an impact. As the cam members counter-rotate, the cam surfaces engage so that the second cam member is axially moved in a direction relative to the first cam member.
