Abstract
A power tool includes a motor and a switch device for starting and stopping the motor. The switch device includes an operation member and an on-operation prevention device. The operation member can pivot about a pivotal axis between an on position and an off position and has an on-operation arm and an off-operation arm on either side of the pivotal axis for operation by an operator. The on-operation prevention device serves to prevent the operation member from moving from the off position to the on position and to permit the operation member to move from the off position to the on position.
