A hedge trimmer may include a housing provided with a handle configured to be gripped by a user, a pair of shear blades extending forward from the housing; a motor housed in the housing and configured to drive at least one of the pair of shear blades; and an electric circuit unit housed in the housing and configured to control power supplied to the motor. The handle may be provided at an upper portion of the housing in rear of the motor, and the electric circuit unit may be located under the handle in the rear of the motor.

A power tool includes an inner housing () at least partially housed within and spaced from an outer housing (). The inner housing supports a tool (), such as a pair of shear blades, and houses a motor () that drives the tool. The outer housing includes a grip () to be grasped by a user. At least one vibration insulator (-) can be disposed between the inner housing and the outer housing and in a manner such that the vibration insulator(s) is(are) protected by the outer housing. An intake opening () and exhaust opening () can be formed in the inner housing and can be shielded by respective portions of an inner surface of the outer housing.

It is an object of the invention to provide a dust collecting circular saw in which cooling air to cool the motor can be further effectively utilized. According to the present invention, a representative dust collecting circular saw may comprise a blade, a motor, a cooling fan, a dust case, a dust case cover and an air space between the dust case cover and the dust case. The cooling air to cool the motor is designed to be introduced into the air space. Therefore, according to the invention, heat of the dust case caused by hot chips collected within the dust case can be prevented from being transferred from the dust case to the dust case cover by the air space into which the cooling air is introduced. Thus, the user of the circular saw can securely be escaped from contacting any circular saw members heated by the hot chips within the dust case.

A cutting tool that improves operability by facilitating operation of a lever for operating a clamp mechanism of a guide member is provided. A clamp mechanism is constituted by a clamp pin that protrudes its distal end to the outside of the blade case while penetrating a depth guide and the blade case, a first lever that is connected to the distal end of the clamp pin and directly moves the clamp pin in the axial direction, and a second lever that is connected to the upper portion of the first lever through a connecting pin and has a cam lever. When the second lever is rotated toward the blade case, the cam lever presses the connecting pin to tilt the first lever, whereby the clamp pin is pulled outward. As a result, the depth guide is pressed to the inner surface of the blade case and clamped.
