  • Publication number: 20220338412
    Abstract: The present invention includes: a cutting blade; an electric motor (5) that rotationally drives the cutting blade; a clutch that engages and disengages transmission of motive power between the electric motor (5) and the cutting blade; operation means for operating the clutch; and controller (30) for controlling operation of the electric motor (5). By means of the operation means, it is possible to switch between a state in which the clutch is disengaged in which motive power of the electric motor (5) is not transmitted to the cutting blade and a state in which the clutch is engaged and motive power of the electric motor (5) is transmitted to the cutting blade.

  • Publication number: 20220124971
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes: a cutting blade; an electric motor (5) that rotationally drives the cutting blade; a main power source (6) that supplies electric power to the electric motor (5); a clutch that engages and disengages motive power between the electric motor (5) and the cutting blade; an inclination sensor (31) that detects an inclination of the machine body; and a controller (30) for controlling power on and off of the main power source (6). When a direction orthogonal to a travelling direction of the machine body is defined as the horizontal direction, and a center line in a vertical direction of the machine body when the machine body on a horizontal plane is viewed from a front side is defined as a reference line, the controller (30) turns off the main power source when the reference line is inclined at a prescribed angle or more with respect to the horizontal direction or when rotation of the electric motor (5) is stopped for a prescribed time period or more.
