JIGSAW

A jigsaw (10) including a housing (14), a handle (18) extending transverse from the housing (14) in a direction of a handle axis, a battery (22) selectively coupled to the handle (18), a foot plate (26) coupled to the housing (14) and configured to contact a workpiece, and a drive assembly (34) powered by the battery (22). The drive assembly (34) includes a motor (66), a fan (102), a transmission (70) driven by the motor (66), and an output spindle (72) driven by the transmission (70) and coupled to a cutting blade (30). The jigsaw (10) also includes a frame (74) supported within the housing (14) which supports the motor (66) and the transmission (70). The frame (74) includes a shroud (98) surrounding at least a portion of the fan (102) and an air chute (100) in fluid communication with the shroud (98) that together direct an airflow produced by the fan (102) toward a cutting area (103) adjacent the cutting blade (30). The jigsaw (10) also includes a baffle (105) that is selectively moveable into the air chute (100) to redirect the airflow away from the cutting blade (30).
