Abstract

A saw (10) is provided comprising a frame (20) containing a saw blade (22) and a fluid motor (24), and a handle (28) connected to the frame (22) incorporating means (36b) for connecting to a fluid supply and throttle means for controlling the fluid supply, wherein at least the portion of the handle (28) incorporating the throttle means is releasably connected to the frame (22) or the remainder of the handle so that the throttle means can be relocated elsewhere in the fluid supply. Preferably, the saw (10) further comprises a trolley (40) on which the frame (22) is releasably mountable so that the saw (10) can be operated either as a floor saw or a hand saw. The handle portion (28) can be relocated to the handlebar (50) of the trolley (40) to give the operator direct control over the fluid supply. Alternatively, separate throttle valves can be supplied on the saw (10) and the trolley (40) to achieve the same object.
