POWER TOOL DEBRIS MANAGEMENT

A power tool including a rotatable support for supporting at least one cutting disc and being configured to be rotatably driven by an electric motor; a shroud for restricting the path of debris generated and defining a shroud outlet opening through which debris can be sucked by a vacuum device; a sub-volume within the shroud， an outlet from the sub-volume in fluid communication with the shroud outlet opening and an inlet thereto distal to the shroud outlet opening in fluid communication with remaining volume in the shroud. The inlet to the sub-volume and the outlet from the sub-volume extend along first and second axes in different planes. A conduit defining the sub-volume is configured so debris sucked through the sub-volume undergoes a change in direction by riding along a curved wall of the conduit providing that debris exits the sub-volume travelling along a direction substantially parallel with the second axis.
