               22.  A portable cutter for cutting conduit comprising, in              
          combination, a housing, a carriage slidably mounted on said                 
          housing for sliding movement relative thereto, a saw blade                  
          rotatably supported on said carriage, a motor mounted on said               
          carriage and operatively connected to said saw blade for                    
          rotating said saw blade, a battery supported by said housing                
          and connected to said motor for supplying power to said motor,              
          gripping members carried on said housing and movable between                
          an open position and a closed position for firmly gripping an               
          object to be cut, means for actuating said gripping members to              
          closed positions where they firmly grip said object to be cut,              
          and a manually operable actuator carried by said housing and                
          operatively connected with said carriage for moving said                    
          carriage from a retracted inoperative position to an advanced               
          operative position where said saw blade is moved into cutting               
          engagement with an object held by said gripping members.
