  • Patent number: 11020846
    Abstract: Provided is a work tool that can work suitably in cooperation with an attachment device connected to a main body of the work tool to enhance work efficiency. The work tool includes a main body 2, and a control circuit 71 configured to provide control over the main body 2. The main body 2 includes a motor 3, an end-bit mount portion 10 and an end bit 14 as a work part configured to be driven by the motor 3 to perform a work. A dust collector 100 is connectable to the main body 2 to assist the work. The control circuit 71 is configured to detect whether the dust collector 100 is connected to the main body 2 and change the control over the main body 2 based on whether the connection is established or not.

  • Patent number: 8099873
    Abstract: An electric-powered cutting machine includes a reciprocable plunger held by and protruding outward from a housing; an operation member capable of being pivoted on the housing; and a blade holding mechanism disposed at a tip end portion of the plunger, the blade holding mechanism causing a blade to be detachably attached to the plunger. The operation member includes an operation portion and an abutting portion, wherein a distance from the operation portion to a rotating fulcrum is longer than a distance from the abutting portion to the rotating fulcrum. The blade holding mechanism is biased and is capable of swinging, and the blade holding mechanism includes a rotating member capable of being pressed against a side of the blade, wherein the abutting portion abuts against the rotating member when the operating member swings, and wherein the blade is detachably attached to the plunger by swinging of the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 7216434
    Abstract: An electric-powered cutting machine includes: an electric motor, a housing for the electric motor; a plunger driven by the electric motor to reciprocate; and a blade holding mechanism. The blade holding mechanism holds a blade at a tip end portion of the plunger. The blade holding mechanism includes: a blade receiving face including a groove, a swinging member and a pressing member. The groove is shaped substantially the same as an attachment portion of the blade. The swinging member has one and other ends and pivoted at a swing fulcrum. The one end has a blade pressing portion capable of being disposed to oppose to the groove. The other end elongates to separate from the plunger. The pressing member presses the one end toward the groove.
