Walk-behind power equipment includes: a main body provided with at least one front wheel and left and right rear wheels and a work unit; travel motors provided for the respective rear wheels; a handle extending from the main body rearward and upward; at least one of a tilt angle detector that detects a tilt angle of the main body and a load detector that detects a downward load applied to the handle; a yaw rate detector that detects a yaw rate; and a control unit that drive-controls the travel motors. The control unit determines whether the main body is in a rearward tilted state based on the tilt angle or the downward load, and if it is determined that the main body is not in the rearward tilted state, performs straight-line travel control to set a rotational speed difference between the travel motors to reduce the yaw rate.

The present invention is a working machine with a working unit configured to perform a work, comprising a battery and a control unit, wherein the control unit has, as operation modes, a normal mode in which the working unit is operable based on power of the battery, and a power saving mode in which the working unit is made inoperable by limiting some of functions, as compared with the normal mode, and power consumption of the battery is suppressed, as compared with the normal mode, thereby, it is possible to improve the usability of the working machine and to appropriately prevent the battery down of a working machine.

Grass cutter blades for preventing grass from winding meet safety standards for industrial products subject to safety self-assurance. To this end, the grass cutter blades are installed on a rotating shaft applying a rotational force of a grass cutter. The grass cutter blades form a hexagonal shape as a whole, comprise a front side having a first blade portion and a rear side having a second blade portion, have a first fixing hole fitted to the rotating shaft, comprises a horizontal blade having through holes, which face each other with the first fixing hole therebetween, and have a vertical blade inserted into the through holes.

A garden tool includes a base, a motor arranged on the base, a cutting tool drivingly connected with the motor, a power supply, a main control module electrically connected with the power supply and used for controlling the motor, and a tilt angle detecting module connected with the main control module. The tilt angle detecting module detects a tilt angle between the cutting tool and a horizontal plane. When the tilt angle is greater than a preset value, the tilt angle detecting module sends a shutdown signal to the main control module. The main control module turns off the power supply to stop the electric motor upon receipt of the shutdown signal. A related method of use is disclosed.

An electric powerhead includes a housing including a mounting assembly, wherein the mounting assembly includes a mounting plate and a mounting insert. The mounting plate includes a shaft opening and a plurality of first openings arranged in a standard vertical shaft engine mounting pattern and the mounting insert includes a plurality of second openings aligned with the plurality of first openings. The electric powerhead further includes an electric motor positioned within the housing, wherein the electric motor includes an output shaft that extends through the shaft opening of the mounting assembly and wherein the output shaft is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation.

A dethatcher includes a frame having front and rear ends, a cover coupled to the frame and configured to selectively move between an open position and a closed position, a handle extending from the frame, multiple wheels coupled to the frame, a cutting reel housed in the frame, and an engine for powering a drive mechanism of the shaft. The cutting reel includes a shaft having a first end and a second end, at least one cutting mechanism located between the first end and the second end of the shaft, and the drive mechanism for powering the shaft. When the cover is in the open position, a user may access the cutting reel from a top end of the frame.
