Abstract: In a case that a change instruction to instruct to change a work area A1 to a requested work area A2 is input, whether or not change of the work area A1 to the requested work area A2 is possible is judged on the basis of the work area A1, location information of a machine main body configured by an upper swing structure 10 and a lower track structure 9, and posture information of a work device 15, and the work area A1 is overwritten with the requested work area A2 to change the work area in an only case that it is judged that change is possible. This can suppress interference between plural work machines.

Abstract: A controller outputs a first velocity (first limiting velocity) as a limiting velocity for a boom cylinder when a boom lowering operation amount is smaller than a first operation amount, and outputs a second velocity when the boom lowering operation amount is equal to or larger than the first operation amount.
