A power tool includes a housing, a blade assembly, a drive assembly within the housing for driving the blade assembly, and a cover that is coupled to the power tool and is movable between at least two positions. The blade assembly is fixedly retained by the power tool when the cover is in a first position and is detachable from the power tool when the cover is in a second position. The cover has tool-less means for coupling the blade assembly to the cover when the cover is in a second position.

Provided is an electric power work device which includes: a body case; a work tool protruding forward from a front side with respect to the body case; a motor; and a battery supplying power to the motor. The motor is accommodated in the body case and the battery is detachably attached to a rear side with respect to the body case. A top handle is extended in a longitudinal direction at an upside with respect to the body case. The top handle includes, on an upper surface of a front part thereof, a thumb rest and a power switch. The power switch is arranged on a side in a lateral direction of the thumb rest.

A power tool includes: a power source (7); a tip tool (2); two switches (SW1,SW2); and a control unit (6e). The tip tool (2) is configured to be driven by the power source (7). The two switches (SW1,SW2) are configured to be turned on for activating the power source (7). The control unit (6e) is configured to control the power source (7) in accordance with on/off of the two switches (SW1,SW2), and operate if at least one of the two switches (SW1,SW2) is turned on.

A handheld work apparatus has a device for starting an electric drive motor via an actuating element which can be displaced in a handle counter to an actuating force and acts on a transmission element. The transmission element is shiftable from a rest position into an operating range, wherein the transmission element actuates a switching element and starts the motor. For shifting from the rest position into an end position, a shift force is applied. The shift force forms at least a portion of the actuating force. To keep the actuating force low after the motor is switched on, the displacement path of the transmission element is divided into a first segment and a second segment which includes the operating range. The shift force to be applied to the transmission element rises on the first segment of the path and, after a maximum, decreases on the second segment.

The present invention is directed to a small hand-held garden tool, for example a hedgetrimmer, having an electrically powered powerhead, and a detachable pole assembly. The powerhead can be used alone to cut nearby vegetation or in combination with a pole assembly to reach vegetation farther away. The powerhead has a separate handle and motor chamber, with the pole assembly being secured to the motor chamber. Actuation of the powerhead is controlled by a trigger on the handle. However, when connected to the pole assembly, actuation of the powerhead is controlled by a second trigger on the pole assembly.

The present disclosure provides a transmission assembly and a garden tool. The transmission assembly is configured to connect a drive assembly and a garden work assembly. The transmission assembly comprises a casing and a first transmission component and a second transmission component accommodated in the casing; the first transmission component and the second transmission component are engaged with each other; the first transmission component comprises a first gear and a second gear engaged with each other; a gear shaft of the first gear is disposed at an angle with respect to a gear shaft of the second gear; and the second transmission component comprises a third gear able to rotate coaxially with the second gear and a fourth gear engaged with the third gear. With two levels of transmission components provided in the transmission assembly of the present disclosure, the output power of the garden tool can be controlled effectively, and the cost for using and producing the garden tool of the present disclosure are reduced while ensuring that the garden tool can be used normally.
