Abstract: A cart for carrying a saw having a saw blade, a motor drivably coupled to the saw blade, a saw control unit to selectively activate the motor in response to a first input control signal from a trigger, and a first connector in communication with the saw control unit. The cart includes a remote actuation system having a cart control unit, a throttle configured to provide an input to the cart control unit, and a second connector configured to connect with the first connector of the saw. The cart also includes a wire interconnecting the cart control unit and the first connector. The wire configured to transmit a second input control signal from the cart control unit to the saw control unit upon receiving the input from the throttle, via the first and second connectors, to selectively activate and vary a rotational speed of the motor and the saw blade.
