Zusammenfassung:A power tool, such as a reciprocating saw (10), including a spindle for supporting a tool element, a body (14) defining a pivot axis (P) and housing a motor (30) and a drive mechanism driven by the motor (30), the drive mechanism driving the spindle, the body (14) having a forward end (16) supporting the spindle and a rearward end (18), and a grip (22) connected to the rearward end (18) of the body (14) for pivoting movement about the pivot axis (P). The reciprocating saw (10) may include a locking assembly (78) for locking the grip (22) in a pivoted position relative to the body (14) and a switch assembly (64) at least partially supported on the grip (22). The switch assembly (64) is preferably inoperable when the locking assembly (78) is in an unlocked condition, and the locking asembly (78) preferably cannot be moved to the unlocked condition when the switch assembly (64) is in an operating condition. Also, the reciprocating saw (10) may include a grip portion (34) provided by the body (14) and engageable by the operator's other hand. In addition, the reciprocating saw (10) may include a pivot-limiting assembly (98) for limiting pivoting movement of the grip (22) relative to the body (14) beyond a pivoted position.
