Abstract: A power tool (1) includes an electric motor (2) as a drive source and a start switch (20; 61) that starts the electric motor (2) and is lockable in an ON position in a lock-ON state. An electromagnetic actuator (30; 40; 50; 60) pushes out or pulls in an actuation pin (30a; 40a; 50a; 60a) with respect to a body of the electromagnetic actuator (30; 40; 50; 60) in response to cutting off of a supply of electrical current to the power tool (1). The pushed-out or pulled-in actuation pin, directly or indirectly, disengages the start switch (20; 61) from the lock-ON state and/or prevents the start switch (20; 61) from being shifted into the lock-ON state.

Abstract: A dust collection device, that collects dust particles generated by an impact tool, has a feature that enables the attachment of the device to the impact tool, which is not provided with an attachment section for the device. The dust collection device has a tool body and an auxiliary handle, attached removably to the tool body, and is attached to an electric hammer that, in the lengthwise direction, linearly operates a tool bit mounted to the tip region of the tool body, and collects dust generated by the electric hammer. The dust collection device has: a dust collection unit that has a dust intake port at the tip; a dust collection hose, connected to the dust collection unit, for transferring dust to the downstream side; and a hose-holding unit that holds the dust collection hose. The hose-holding unit can be attached to and removed from the auxiliary handle.

Abstract: A power tool having a gear speed reducing mechanism which is free of backlash and a planetary gear speed reducing mechanism. The planetary gear speed reducing mechanism has a driving-side member that is rotationally driven by a prime mover, a driven-side member which is rotatably and coaxially disposed with the driving-side member and to which a tool bit is coupled, and an intervening member which is disposed between the driving-side member and the driven-side member. The intervening member is configured as a planetary member and at least caused to rotate by frictional force acting on its contact surface in contact with the driving-side member when the driving-side member is rotationally driven, so that torque of the driving-side member is transmitted to the driven-side member at reduced speed.

Abstract: In a dust collection device that collects dust particles that an impact tool generates, disclosed is a feature that can accommodate the lengths of tool bits that are mounted to the impact tool when a machining operation is executed by exchanging tool bits of different lengths. The dust collection device collects dust that the impact tool generates and is attached to said impact tool that, in the lengthwise direction, linearly operates the tool bit mounted to the end region of a tool body. The dust collection device has a dust intake port that sucks dust, and said dust intake port can be repositioned in the lengthwise direction of the tool bit in accordance with the length in the lengthwise direction of said tool bit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a feature that collects dust particles that arise from a processing operation of an impact tool. The dust collection device collects dust that arises from of a processing operation and is attached to the impact tool that performs a pre-determined processing operation on a processed member by way of a tool bit mounted to the tip region of the tool body being linearly operated at least in the lengthwise direction. The dust collection device has a dust collection unit of which the tip opens as a dust intake port and the contour shape is formed unevenly around the long axis of the tool bit. The position of the dust collection unit is freely selected around the long axis of the tool bit, and it is possible to cause the position to change around the long axis of the bit.

Abstract: A power tool that includes a driving motor and a power transmitting mechanism. The power transmitting mechanism includes a first clutch cam part, a second clutch cam part, clutch teeth, a clutch detecting mechanism and a controller that can control the driving motor in a first control mode in which the driving motor is controlled to rotate at a first rotation speed until before the first and second clutch cam parts are engaged with each other at the clutch teeth and in a second control mode in which the driving motor is controlled to rotate at a second rotation speed higher than the first rotation speed after the first and second clutch cam parts are engaged with each other at the clutch teeth.
