Abstract: In a power tool, particularly a saber saw having a cutting blade, a combination comprises a handheld housing having an upper and a lower portion and an end portion formed with an elongated bore which extends downwardly from the upper portion towards the lower portion. A cutting element is mounted at a lower region of the end portion of the housing. A guide handle has a hand-held head portion mounted at the upper portion of the housing, and an elongated shaft portion received in and mounted for turning movement relative to the elongated bore in either circumferential direction thereof so that the housing can be turned with respect to the handle during cutting for positioning the cutting element in a plurality of different cutting positions. The handle is mounted and de-mounted on the housing with a snap-type action. A locking bolt prevents the handle from being undesirably withdrawn from the bore without authorization.
