Abstract: A cutting tool is provided having a marking feature to facilitate the cutting of materials at desired lengths. The tool includes a laser that provides a beam for marking the material at a determined length based on the angle that the beam forms with the cutting axis of the tool. The tool may be configured so that the beam can be emitted on either side of the tool. The tool may be reconfigured so that the angle of the beam relative to the cutting axis of the tool is selectively adjustable.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display device oon a power saw (2) comprising a saw blade (3) as a tool, a handle (4) as an extension of the tool, and a grip (6) which is used for holding the power saw (2) and is disposed essentially perpendicular to the tool. The inventive display device is provided with a laser (8) having a laser beam that can be activated. The display device is arranged at the end of the tool, which is located opposite the tool and/or below the handle (4) in such a way that the laser beam on the power saw (2) is oriented at an angle (a) of more tha 0° and less than 90°, preferably less than 45°, relative to the tool axis (10) while the laser beam and/or the laser (8) is/are optionally directed to one side of the tool axis (10) or the other.
