  • Patent number: 9550290
    Abstract: A power tool is provided with a prime mover which causes the tool to rotate and a housing which houses the prime mover. In a back-end face that is positioned on an opposite side on the housing from a tool side, a back-end groove, into which a user can position his/her web between his/her thumb and forefinger, is formed. A pair of side-face grooves, into which the user can place the thumb and forefinger, are formed in both side faces of the housing. A depth changing portion is formed in at least one of the side-face grooves, such that the depth is reduced toward the back-end face of the housing. According to this structure, even when the housing is gripped directly from the back-end face, the user can easily draw up or raise the power tool.

  • Patent number: 7424779
    Abstract: A cutting tool is provided for preventing dust intrusion into a guide member effectively as well as cooling a housing, thereby maintaining an excellent operability. A cutting tool has a body housing including an upper housing and a lower housing. In front of a flange portion of the lower housing, right-and-left air outlets are provided. At the front end of the lower housing, right-and-left second guiding ports are provided. Further, between an insulating cover and the lower housing, clearances which allow the outlets and the second guiding ports to communicate with each other are provided. Therefore, when the insulating cover is placed, an air passage is formed in which cooling air discharged from the air outlets moves to the front passing through the clearances, and flows into a space as the junction through the second guiding ports to be discharged to the front.
