A power tool includes a motor disposed in a motor housing, a handle extending downward from the motor housing, a main switch provided on the handle and configured to switch the motor ON and OFF, and a state-changing operation part located on a lower portion of the motor housing or on an upper-end portion of the handle. The state-changing operation part is located upward of the main switch and is configured to effect a change of a rotational state of the motor, other than a direction of rotation of the motor, or an illumination level of a light.

Power tool

An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a motor; a controller for controlling driving of the motor; a first setter; and a second setter. The first setter is operated for setting, as a control method for the motor, which is usable by the controller, one of control methods preliminarily registered. The second setter is operated for setting, as a control method for the motor, which is usable by the controller, at least one of the control methods settable via the first setter.

Electric working machine

An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a motor, a manipulator, a setter, and a controller. The setter sets first control characteristics preliminarily registered. The first control characteristics are set to achieve a rotational speed of the motor from a minimum rotational speed to a maximum rotational speed with a manipulating range of the manipulator, which is 50% or less of an effective manipulating range thereof.

Electric working machine and method for controlling motor of electric working machine

A grinder according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, a housing for housing the motor, a spindle protruding from the housing and configured to be driven to be rotated by the motor, a wheel cover configured to cover a part of a tip end tool attached to the spindle, a detector configured to detect the wheel cover, and a controller configured to stop or restrict the spindle being driven by the motor in response to non-detection of the wheel cover by the detector.

Grinder

A switch device for a power tool includes a switch case and a switch lever. The switch lever extends outwardly from within the switch case. The switch lever has a rotative portion rotatably supported by a support portion of the switch case. A waterproofing member is disposed between the rotative portion and the support portion and provides a waterproof seal therebetween.

Switch devices for power tools

A plurality of components of a power tool are coupled to each other to form a component assembly. Positioning members are disposed within a housing body and resiliently support the component assembly from opposite sides in an axial direction.

Power tools

A switch device includes a switch body and an operation member. The switch body includes a case and a rotary shaft rotatably supported by the case and extending from one end of the case in an axial direction. The operation member is joined to the rotary shaft. The case has a cylindrical outer surface and the operation member has a cylindrical inner surface disposed coaxial with the cylindrical outer surface of the case. A support member is disposed at one of the cylindrical outer surface of the case and the cylindrical inner surface of the operation member and has an edge portion extending linearly along a circumferential direction of the one of the cylindrical outer surface and the cylindrical inner surface, so that the edge portion can slidably contact the other of the cylindrical outer surface of the case and the cylindrical inner surface of the operation member.

Rotating operation member for a switch

In view of the above problem, the present invention is to provide an electrical power tool which enables a user to intuitively grasp a rotation direction and a rotation speed of a tip tool. The electrical power toolcomprises a chuckprovided at a tip of a tool body, and rotatable with a tip tool held, and an operation switchhaving operation protrusionsexposed to both side surfaces of a tool bodyso as to be able to operate, respectively bilaterally symmetrically protruded with a rotation axis of the chucktherebetween, coaxially rotatable with the chuck, and urged so as to be self-restored to a neutral position. The chuckis rotated in a direction according to a rotation direction of the switchat a speed according to a rotation angle from the neutral position of the operation switch

Electrical power tool

One aspect according to the present invention includes a switch device for a power tool. The switch device includes a switch lever operable to move between an ON position for activating the power tool and an OFF position for stopping activation of the power tool. An on-lock mechanism can lock the switch lever in the ON position. An off-lock mechanism can lock the switch lever in the OFF position. The operation for making the on-lock mechanism effective and the operation for releasing the off-lock mechanism are performed by operating an operation member in different directions from each other or by operating two separate operation members.

A power tool includes an air introduction device that can introduce an external air into the casing and can produce a spiral flow of the air within the casing. A motor is disposed within the casing.

In a trigger switch having a normal and reverse switching lever configured to switch the direction of rotation of a motor, a case is formed with a speed control unit storage chamber for storing a speed control unit, a revolving shaft storage chamber for storing a revolving shaft of the switching lever and a contact strip member storage chamber with continuing from the revolving shaft storage chamber through a shielding member therebetween for storing contact strip member of the switching lever, the revolving shaft storage chamber is formed with a revolving shaft engaging hole configured to allow the revolving shaft to be inserted in an engaged state on an upper portion thereof on the side of the trigger lever, and a waterproof device for covering at least a gap between the switching lever and the revolving shaft engaging hole is provided to prevent entry of water therein.
