  • Publication number: 20230201934
    Abstract: Provided is a work machine with improved operatability. In a cutting tool, a guard member that is made of metal is provided inside a chip discharge passage section, and a bottom wall of the chip discharge passage section on a saw blade side is covered by the guard member. In other words, a bottom surface of the chip discharge passage section is guarded by the guard member that is made of metal. Accordingly, the guard member can prevent high-temperature metal chips from coming into direct contact with the bottom wall of the chip discharge passage section. Thus, deformation of the chip discharge passage section when chips pass through the chip discharge passage section can be suppressed. Consequently, the durability of a saw cover can be increased, and the operatability of the cutting tool can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11675014
    Abstract: A power tool includes: a rechargeable battery; a motor; a drive circuit; an operation unit; a battery state detection circuit; a control circuit; and an interruption circuit. The battery state detection circuit detects a battery voltage, and when the detected battery voltage is lower than or equal to a prescribed voltage, the battery state detection circuit outputs a low-voltage signal. The control means outputs a control signal to the drive circuit instructing to drive the motor when the operation unit is operated and halts the output of the control signal to the drive circuit instructing to halt driving the motor in response to the low-voltage signal. The interruption circuit outputs an interruption signal to the drive circuit in response to the low-voltage signal to thereby interrupt the drive circuit and halt driving the motor irrespective of whether or not the control signal is outputted to the drive circuit.
