Publication number: 20240123585Abstract: A light unit is less likely to have lower light emission performance upon receiving a shock. An electric work machine includes a motor, a housing including a motor compartment accommodating the motor and a grip protruding downward from the motor compartment, an output unit located frontward from the motor and operable with a rotational force from the motor, a substrate extending above, on a left, and on a right of the output unit, and a plurality of light emitters mounted on a front surface of the substrate at intervals in a circumferential direction of the output unit. A light emitter of the plurality of light emitters nearest an apex of the substrate immediately above the output unit is at a position shifted circumferentially by a predetermined angle from the apex.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka OGISO, Makoto CHIKARAISHI
