An easy-handling compound saw
The present invention relates to a compound saw which may be used as a mitre saw or as a table saw, in particular, an easy-handling saw of which the movable legs (308) may be used as handles. The base supporting the saw blade unit comprises a left side frame (32), a right side frame (31), and four independent movable legs (308) also acting as handles. Two sets of leg orientation devices are respectively disposed at the lower end of the left and right side frames, and each set of leg orientation devices respectively includes a vertical orientation slot which extends approximately vertically and a horizontal orientation slot which extends approximately horizontally. The upper ends of the movable legs may be connected to the leg orientation devices by movable locking mechanisms (311) and the movable legs may be restricted inside the vertical orientation slots or the horizontal orientation slots by means of the movable locking mechanisms. It has characteristics such as providing movable legs also acting as handles, light weight, and easy handling, etc, and it solves the problem of awkward, inconvenient handling due to the structure of conventional compound saws.
