- 15. The power tool assembly of claim 9, wherein:
said work piece contacting member includes a first side surface, and at least a portion of said first side surface is free of said layer of luminescent material.
- 16. The power tool assembly of claim 9, wherein said layer of luminescent material is applied to a side surface of said work piece contacting member to form lettering thereon.
- 17. The power tool assembly of claim 9, wherein said layer of luminescent material is applied to a side surface of said work piece contacting member to form at least one symbol thereon.
- 18. The power saw assembly of claim 9, wherein said luminescent material is a phosphorescent material.
- 19. The power tool assembly of claim 9, wherein said luminescent material is a super-phosphorescent material.
- 20. The power tool assembly of claim 9, wherein said luminescent material is a fluorescent material.
- 21. A method of using a power saw assembly in a rescue situation, comprising the steps of:
providing said power saw assembly having (i) a power saw operable to reciprocate a power saw coupling, (ii) a saw blade attached to said power saw coupling, said saw blade having cutting teeth, and (iii) a layer of luminescent material applied to said saw blade; and operating said power saw assembly in a light deprived location so as to free a victim trapped in a damaged structure.
- 22. The method of claim 21, further comprising the step of storing said saw blade in a location that is maintained in a lit condition on a twenty-four hour per day basis prior to said operating step.
- 23. A method of using a power tool assembly in a rescue situation, comprising the steps of:
providing said power tool assembly having (i) a workpiece contacting member, (ii) a power tool operable to move said workpiece contacting member in a repeating pattern, and (iii) a layer of luminescent material applied to said work piece contacting member; and operating said power tool assembly in a light deprived location so as to free a victim trapped in a damaged structure.
- 24. The method of claim 23, further comprising the step of storing at least said workpiece contacting portion of said power saw assembly in a location that is maintained in a lit condition on a twenty-four hour per day basis prior to said operating step.
- 25. A power tool assembly, comprising:
a workpiece contacting member; a power tool operable to move said workpiece contacting member in a repeating pattern; and a layer of luminescent material applied to said work piece contacting member.
- 26. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein:
said workpiece contacting member includes a first side surface and a second side surface, and said layer of luminescent material is applied to the entirety of both said first side surface and said second side surface.
- 27. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein:
said workpiece contacting member includes a first side surface, and at least a portion of said first side surface is free of said layer of luminescent material.
- 28. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein said layer of luminescent material is applied to a side surface of said workpiece contacting member to form lettering thereon.
- 29. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein said layer of luminescent material is applied to a side surface of said workpiece contacting member to form at least one symbol thereon.
- 30. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein said luminescent material is a phosphorescent material.
- 31. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein said luminescent material is a super-phosphorescent material.
- 32. The power tool assembly of claim 25, wherein said luminescent material is a fluorescent material.
