Abstract: The present invention becomes a non-operating state when suspended. In grinder, moving a slide bar in a housing from an OFF to an ON position switches a switch from an OFF to an ON state. A motor stop lever is movably provided in the housing, and is configured to be couplable to a suspension device. Upon receiving a rear tensile force from the suspension device, the motor stop lever moves from an initial position to a withdrawn position. Then, supported portion of the slide bar in the ON position moves to the left, switching the switch from the ON to the OFF state. Specifically, in the withdrawn position of the motor stop lever, a posture-maintaining state of the slide bar in the ON position by the motor stop lever is released, changing a posture of the slide bar, thus switching the switch from the ON to the OFF state.
