Abstract: An electric work machine (1) includes a motor (1), a manipulatable part (9), a control part (20) configured to perform a first braking control and a second braking control that differ from each other, and a kickback-detection part (20, S30) that detects whether kickback has occurred. The control part energizes the motor in response to detection of user-manipulation of the manipulatable part. In response to detection of kickback, the control part performs the first braking control and thereby causes the motor to generate a first braking force. In response to detection of a state change of the manipulatable part to an unmanipulated or OFF state, the control part performs the second braking control and thereby causes the motor to generate a second braking force, which is weaker than the first braking force.
