A front linkage for a construction machine which can uniquely calculate the rotation angle of the work tool relative to the arm and which can prevent the angle detection device from being damaged by contact with the soil during digging. The front linkage has an arm, a first link pivotally connected at one end to the front end side of the arm, and at the other end to one end of a second link, and a work tool which is pivotally connected to the other end of the second link and which is pivotally connected to the arm in a further front end side than the one end portion of the first link. The first link is positioned outward along the outer width of the side wall of the arm. An angle detecting device for detecting the rotation angle of the first link relative to the arm may comprise a magnet disposed on an inner surface of the first link and a magnetic detector disposed on the side wall outer surface of the arm.

Power supply device includes a power supply circuit with a low voltage load circuit and a high voltage load circuit connected to a plurality of batteries connected in series. A power supply circuit includes an equalizer that can prevent uneven consumption of each battery; a disconnect switch that enables the battery on the low voltage side to be electrically cut off; and a disconnect relay that enables the battery on the high voltage side to be electrically cut off. A machine controller starts an engine controller by turning on an engine key relay after turning on the disconnect relay.
