A portable tool including a frame, a working element on the frame and a power unit for operating the working element. A switch on the frame switches between a first state, e.g., stop operation, and a second state, e.g., running operation. An actuator on the frame is repositionable relative to the frame to selectively change the switch from its first state into its second state and in a first path to change the switch from its first state into its second state. The actuator is mounted for movement relative to the frame in a second path that is different than the first path to change the switch from its first state into its second state.

Control for portable power tool

A portable power unit for operating a tool is provided and includes a frame adapted to be carried on the back of an operator to orient the power unit in a the predetermined operating position with the operator standing upright. The power unit further includes an engine mounted on the frame for powering a tool, a fan mounted between the frame and the engine, a fan intake positioned between the frame and the fan, and structure for attenuating engine and fan generated noise and for inhibiting the emanation of engine and fan generated noise in horizontal directions from the power unit with the power unit in the operating position.
