The body comprising a shell, a motor fixed in the shell and an impeller fixed to an axle or shaft of the motor. The shell is provided with a plurality of air outlets at a position corresponding to the impeller, the impeller being able to rotate with the axle of the motor to produce an air current to cool the motor. An enclosure of the battery is provided with a plurality of through holes. An air current channel is formed inside the handle and the body and connected to the environment via the through holes of the battery enclosure. A heat dissipating device is located in the air current channel and contacts the switch. A part of the cooling air current passes through the air current channel to cool the battery before getting to the motor.
