Abstract
An electric-powered cutting machine includes a reciprocable plunger held by and protruding outward from a housing; an operation member capable of being pivoted on the housing; and a blade holding mechanism disposed at a tip end portion of the plunger, the blade holding mechanism causing a blade to be detachably attached to the plunger. The operation member includes an operation portion and an abutting portion, wherein a distance from the operation portion to a rotating fulcrum is longer than a distance from the abutting portion to the rotating fulcrum. The blade holding mechanism is biased and is capable of swinging, and the blade holding mechanism includes a rotating member capable of being pressed against a side of the blade, wherein the abutting portion abuts against the rotating member when the operating member swings, and wherein the blade is detachably attached to the plunger by swinging of the rotating member.
