A power-driven hedge trimmer includes an engine housing (10) which is attached to a base (11) having a cutting tool (12) and a front handle (13) at one end and a rear handle (14) including a gas control (17) at its other end. The rear handle is rotatable relative to the base to enable adjustment to different operating positions. The axis of rotation of the rear handle is inclined at an angle of about 25.degree. relative to the longitudinal axis of the cutting tool (12). The rear handle can be latched in three predetermined operating positions by a latch device (19, 21, 22, 24). The gas control is connected to a rotatable pawl (19) cooperating with the latch device in order to prevent releasing thereof during actuation of the gas control and to prevent actuation of the gas control during adjustment of the rear handle.
