Saw having a tiltable base

A saw comprising:

• a base;
• a supporting member for supporting the base above ground, with the base being pivotally attached to the supporting member;
• a blade holder pivotally mounted on the base;
• a blade rotationally attached to the blade holder, with the base comprising a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and a third side between the first side and the second side, with the supporting member being a substantially U-shaped member having two limbs and an intermediate section, with the supporting member surrounding the first side, the second side, and the third side of the base;
• a fixing member for each said limb, with each said fixing member comprising a first end pivotally connected to an associated one of the first side and the second side of the base, with each said fixing member further comprising a second end for holding an associated one of the limbs, wherein each of the first side and the second side of the base comprises a screw hole in an end thereof;
• two guide plates respectively mounted to the first side and the second side of the base, with each said guide plate comprising a first portion having a slot and a second portion for holding the associated one of the limbs;
• and
• two locking members respectively mounted to the first side and the second side of the base, with each said locking member comprising a threaded stem extending therefrom, each said threaded stem being extended through the slot of an associated one of the guide plates into the screw hole in an associated one of the screw holes of the base, each said locking member being slidable in the slot of the associated guide plate when the locking member does not press against the associated guide plate, thereby allowing pivotal movement of the base relative to the supporting member, each said locking member being locked in place when the locking member presses against the associated guide plate, thereby locking the base in place relative to the supporting member.
