Abstract
A hand-held power tool, such as a rotary cutting tool, allows for improved operator control and visibility. The power tool includes a housing and a motor provided in the housing. A cutting accessory is coupled to the motor and is adapted to cut a workpiece at a point of cut. At least one light emitting diode is coupled to the housing and configured to direct light toward the point of cut.
Claims58
A hand-held cutting tool comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor provided in the housing;
- a cutting accessory coupled to the motor, the cutting accessory being adapted to cut a workpiece at a point of cut;
- and
- at least one light emitting diode coupled to the housing and configured to direct light toward the point of cut.
A cutting tool comprising:
- a housing enclosing a motor;
- cutting means coupled to the motor and configured to form cuts in a workpiece at a point of cut;
- and
- a plurality of light emitting diodes provided on the cutting tool, each of the light emitting diodes directing a beam of light away from the housing and toward the point of cut.
A hand-held power tool comprising:
- a housing having a motor provided therein;
- a shaft extending from a first end of the housing along an axis of the housing, the shaft being coupled to the motor;
- a light emitting diode provided in the first end of the housing to direct light away from the first end of the housing substantially along the axis of the housing;
- and
- an electrical cord coupled to the motor for providing power to the hand-held power tool.
A power tool having an electrical cord for transmitting power to the power tool, the power tool comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor provided in the housing;
- a tool bit coupled to the motor;
- and
- a plurality of high-output light emitting diodes coupled to the housing and configured to illuminate at least a portion of the tool bit at a point of cut;
- wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes each emit light when the motor is activated.
A hand-held power tool having an electrical cord for providing power to the power tool, the power tool comprising:
- a housing;
- a motor provided in the housing;
- a tool bit coupled to the motor, the tool bit being adapted to cut a workpiece at a point of cut;
- a depth guide provided on the housing for altering the depth of cut of the tool bit into a workpiece between a first position and a second position;
- a plurality of high-output light emitting diodes coupled to the housing and configured to illuminate at least a portion of the tool bit at a point of cut between the first and second positions of the depth guide;
- wherein the plurality of light emitting diodes each emit light when the motor is activated.
