A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a use walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.

The present invention provides a lawn mower for cutting grass and maintaining the lawn surface. The lawn mower has a mower deck, a cutting blade driven by a motor, and a blade changing mechanism. The blade changing mechanism includes a fastener for securing the cutting blade to the motor, a blade securement tool for limiting the cutting blade from rotating, and at least one opening on the mower deck for removably receiving the blade securement tool. An edge guide is also provided on the mower deck. The lawn mower also includes a dynamic power management system configured to adjust a rotation speed of the motor dynamically based on a duty condition of the cutting blade.

An electric handheld working machine includes: a housing including: a motor as a drive source of a working unit; an operating handle; and attaching members provided on an outer surface of the housing and configured to attach a battery to supply electric power to the motor. The attaching members includes: a connecting terminal connected to the battery; a step provided above the connecting terminal and configured to function as a drainage path to drain drops of water to sides; and openings formed in the sides of the attaching members to communicate with the drainage path. The openings communicate with a cooling air flow path configured to allow cooing air to flow through a gap between a back surface of the battery attached to the attaching members and the outer surface between the attaching member.

A work machine comprising: a blade; a blade housing; and a guard pole portion provided below the blade, wherein the guard pole portion is supported by the blade housing, and the guard pole portion includes an inclined portion extending in an oblique direction with respect to a machine body longitudinal direction of the work machine.

A blade protection cover coupled to a blade of a lawn mower apparatus includes a first cover for covering one face of the blade and two second covers connected to the first cover. The two second covers cover two edges of the blade in a width direction of the blade. Two guides are disposed on inner faces of the two second covers. The two guides are configured to guide the blade protection cover to slide along the two edges in the width direction of the blade.

A control system for a walk-behind self-propelled machine including a handle, a power source, a drive assembly, and an implement selectively driven by the power source is disclosed. The control by-wire system can include a touch sensor located on the handle configured to transmit a contact signal indicative of an operator of the walk-behind self-propelled machine physically contacting the handle at a predetermined location. The system can further include a controller that is in electrical communication with the touch sensor and configured to enable the power source to drive the implement, such as a lawnmower blade, when the controller receives the contact signal.

A turf wheel having a wheel rim having an inner and outer surface, and an annular tread portion; a plurality of projections extending radially outward from the outer surface of the wheel rim, wherein each projection provides a stem, a ground contacting pad, and a ground engaging lug; and a hub. A wheel cleaning system having a frame provided by a wheeled apparatus; at least one turf wheel mounted to the frame; a turf wheel scraper assembly, the turf wheel scraper assembly providing a turf wheel scraper and an attachment mechanism, where the attachment mechanism is adapted to be mounted to the frame, and couples the turf wheel scraper to the frame.

A high-efficiency cutting system for an autonomous mower provides a multiple blade tip cutting radius for a cleaner cut, and more complete mow. The system includes a spinning blade disk provided within a housing including a vertical standoff. The blade disk includes a first pair of cutting blades located between the center of the blade disk and the circumference of the blade disk, and a second pair of cutting blades located radially inward from the first pair of cutting blades. The cutting blades extend downward and away from the blade disk at an angle.

The disclosure relates to a portable work apparatus. The work apparatus includes a spacer which is arranged on the front housing and has a contact region. The contact region has a maximum distance, as measured radially, with respect to the rotational axis of the output shaft, the distance being greater than the cutting radius of the cutting tool in a first, non-deformed state of the spacer. The spacer is elastically deformable. The spacer is elastically deformed in a second state in such a manner that the maximum distance of the contact region is at most the same size as the cutting radius, and the spacer is arranged completely outside the cutting plane of the cutting tool.
