Abstract
A power tool includes a grip portion having a vertically extending axis; a main body provided at a top end of the grip portion and having an axis intersecting the vertical axis; a motor; an output portion projecting from the grip portion and rotatingly driven by the motor; a trigger provided for movement along a trigger moving zone; a stopper portion accommodated in the grip portion for protrusion and retraction into and from the trigger moving zone, the stopper portion adapted to selectively make contact with the trigger to thereby limit the maximum pulling amount of the trigger; and a stopper operating portion for operating the stopper portion. The stopper portion is protruded into or retracted from the trigger moving zone by slidingly actuating the stopper operating portion in a crosswise direction perpendicularly intersecting the axis of the main body as viewed from the top.
