A slide-type cutting machine ensures safer operation of cutting wood or the like and can be housed in a compact state. A linear guide unitincludes a slide shaftmoving in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of a cutting section, a first slide holderfor guiding the movement of the slide shaft, and a second slide holderlocated at a lower end of the slide shaftand for restricting the movement of the slide shaftby abutting against the first slide holder. A linkage elementincludes a first linkhaving one end connected to the cutting sectionand the other end connected to the second slide holder, and a second linkhaving one end connected to the first slide holderand the other end connected to the first link

Slide-type cutting machine

Portable electric blower

An air blower/vacuum includes a nozzle, a fan, and a main body. The main body is formed with a vacuum pathway and a blower pathway, located upstream and downstream, respectively, from the fan with respect to the flow of air. The main body is also formed with an attachment hole in fluid communication with both the vacuum pathway and the blower pathway. The attachment hole supports the nozzle rotatable between a vacuum mode orientation and a blower mode orientation. In the vacuum mode orientation, the pathway of the nozzle is in fluid communication with the vacuum pathway. In the blower mode orientation, the pathway of the nozzle is in fluid communication with the blower pathway.
