WORK MACHINE
A hydraulic excavator having a plurality of front implement members, including a bucket, has a controller that controls the work implement by using: excavation assistance control that controls the work implement such that the bucket moves along a predetermined target excavation surface; and deviation prevention control that prevents deviation of the work implement from a predetermined work area by decelerating or stopping operation of a subject front implement member that is included in the plurality of front implement members and that can deviate the work implement from the work area. The controller controls the work implement such that when the controller controls the work implement by using both the excavation assistance control and the deviation prevention control, an operation direction of the bucket approximates to an operation direction of the bucket that is to be generated when the work implement is controlled by using only the excavation assistance control.
