blade 70 has one end formed with a steppedclamping plate 75 inserted into the steppedclamping slit 63 of thefixing rod 60 and formed with athrough hole 71. Anurging screw 65 is screwed into theannular sleeve 64 and thefixing rod 60, and is extended through the throughhole 71 of thestepped clamping plate 75 of theblade 70, so as to lock theannular sleeve 64, thefixing rod 60 andblade 70 by theurging screw 65. - In operation, referring to FIGS.1-5, the
rotation ring 36 of the ratchet structure 3 is rotated to match the angle scales 25 of thepivot seat 20, so that therotation ring 36 of the ratchet structure 3 is moved from the position as shown in FIG. 4 where thepositioning ball 37 is locked in themiddle positioning recess 360 of therotation ring 36 to the position as shown in FIG. 5 where thepositioning ball 37 is locked in theside positioning recess 360A of therotation ring 36. Thus, thetoothed ratchet block 35 at one side of the positioningmember 30 and theratchet teeth 41 of theratchet rod 40 are disposed at an idle state. Thus, as shown in FIG. 6, the angle of theblade 70 relative to the handle may be adjusted arbitrarily by rotating theblade 70 relative to the handle, without having to change and adjust the angle of the handle, thereby facilitating the user operating the handle, and thereby preventing the user's wrist from being hurt. In addition, the angle of theblade 70 relative to the handle may be adjusted arbitrarily so as to match the direction of the workpiece, so that theblade 70 is used to saw the workpiece in the right direction, thereby preventing theblade 70 from being broken, and thereby increasing the lifetime of theblade 70. - As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the
push block 15 on thebody 10 is pushed backward, to detach the protruding lockingportion 150 of thepush block 15 from one of the locking recesses 23 of thepivot block 21 of thepivot seat 20, so that thepivot seat 20 is pivoted relative to thebody 10, so as to adjust the angle of thepivot seat 20 relative to thebody 10. After adjustment, thepush block 15 is released, and is returned to its original position by the restoring force of the restoringspring 16, so that the protruding lockingportion 150 of thepush block 15 is locked in one of the locking recesses 23 of thepivot block 21 of thepivot seat 20, thereby fixing thepivot seat 20 on thebody 10. - As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the
push ring 50 on theratchet rod 40 is pushed backward, so that the retainingball 46 of theratchet rod 40 is received in theannular groove 53 of thepush ring 50, and is detached from theannular retaining groove 62 of the fixingrod 60. Thus, the fixingrod 60 is detached from theratchet rod 40, thereby facilitating the user replacing theblade 70. - While the preferred embodiment(s) of the present invention has been shown and described, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made in the embodiment(s) without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Such modifications are all within the scope of the present invention.
