Abstract
A bush cutting machine comprises a clutch case attached to a front part of an engine, an operation rod extending forwardly from the clutch case and having a brake lever, a cutting blade provided at a distal end of the operation rod, and a transmission shaft passing through the operation rod for transmitting drive power to the cutting blade. A brake drum is housed in the clutch case for braking the rotation of the cutting blade. A brake arm is swingably attached to a front wall of the clutch case closely to the brake drum. The brake arm carries at one end thereof a brake shoe for press contacting an outer peripheral surface of the brake drum. A brake wire is mounted between the brake lever and brake arm. The brake wire is disposed to extend along either external surface of the operation rod.
