Patent ID: 7302879

Claim:
Manual miter saw with an angular adjustment mechanism, comprising: a carrier, a turntable which is rotatable relative to the carrier and which forms a workpiece support surface, a first turntable fixing device cooperating with a plurality of catch elements for selectively and releasably fixing the turntable relative to the carrier in one of a plurality of structurally defined angular positions, and a second turntable fixing device for selectively and releasably fixing the turntable relative to the carrier in one angular position within a working range of possible angular positions, wherein the second turntable fixing device enables adjustment of the one angular position of the turntable relative to the carrier in the working range of possible angular positions in a manner which is continuously and mechanically structurally reproducible; wherein the second turntable fixing device comprises a base which is pivotally supported on the carrier and is fixable relative to the carrier in a selected angular position in a range of continuously adjustable angular positions, wherein the turntable is rotatable relative to the base, and wherein the turntable is releasably connected to the base in said selected angular position of said base corresponding to said one angular position via a locking means.
