Abstract
A hand-held drive apparatus comprises an apparatus main body including a pruner and a handle rotatably connected to the apparatus main body and including a rotation lock mechanism and a drive operation mechanism. The rotation lock mechanism includes a rotation lock lever movable to a rotation prevention position where the handle is prevented from rotating, and to a rotation allowance position where the handle is allowed to rotate. The drive operation mechanism includes a switch configured to control activation of the pruner and a throttle lever movable to a contact position where the throttle lever pushes the switch and to a non-contact position where the throttle lever is separated from the switch. The throttle lever contacts the rotation lock lever at the rotation allowance position to maintain the non-contact position, and is, when the rotation lock lever is at the rotation prevention position, allowed to move to the contact position.
