Abstract
A power tool includes a brake assembly including a swing member swingable about a pivot at an axial center decentered from a center of a brake member, a press member held by the swing member to come in contact with the brake member in response to the swing member swinging, and a spring having an axial center at a second decentered position opposite to the pivot with the center of the brake member between the axial center and the pivot. The axial center is on a second line orthogonal to a first line extending through the center of the brake member and the pivot. The spring has an elastic movable end in contact with an end of the swing member to urge the swing member to a position at which the press member is in contact with the brake member with a switch being in an off state.
