A rotary hammer operable in a first mode in which only a hammering operation to reciprocate a tool bit along a drive axis is performed and a second mode in which the tool bit is rotationally driven about the drive axis. The rotary hammer includes a motor, a controller to control operation of the motor, a trigger moveable between an off position and an on position, a mode selection dial operable to select the first or second mode, a lock mechanism moveable between a first position and a second position, a linkage moveable between a third position and a fourth position, and a switch in communication with the controller. The switch communicates with the controller to operate the motor at full power or communicates with the controller to operate the motor at a variable speed based on the position of the trigger between the on position and the off position.

An electric working machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a motor, a manipulator, a setter, and a controller. The setter sets first control characteristics preliminarily registered. The first control characteristics are set to achieve a rotational speed of the motor from a minimum rotational speed to a maximum rotational speed with a manipulating range of the manipulator, which is 50% or less of an effective manipulating range thereof.

A rotary power tool comprises a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a transmission, a housing enclosing at least a portion of the drive mechanism, a spindle rotatable in response to receiving torque from the drive mechanism, a first ratchet coupled for co-rotation with the spindle, a second ratchet rotationally fixed to the housing, a sleeve bushing supported by the housing, and a bearing rotatably supporting the spindle. The spindle has an outer race. And, the outer race of the bearing moves along the sleeve bushing during reciprocation of the spindle when the first ratchet and second ratchet are engaged.

A dust collector includes a body configured to be removably attached to a lower side of a tool body of a drilling tool, a dust storing part to be disposed on a lower side of the body, a sliding part having a suction port and held by the body so as to be slidable in a front-rear direction, a dust transfer passage extending within the sliding part and connecting the suction port and an inlet of the dust storing part, and a tool connection passage disposed within an internal space of the body and configured to connect an outlet of the dust storing part and an inlet of the tool body of the drilling tool. The dust storing part includes the inlet, a filter, a dust storing space and the outlet. The filter is disposed forward of the inlet of the dust storing part.

A rotary power tool comprises a drive mechanism including an electric motor and a transmission, a housing enclosing at least a portion of the drive mechanism, a spindle rotatable in response to receiving torque from the drive mechanism, a first ratchet coupled for co-rotation with the spindle, a second ratchet rotationally fixed to the housing, a sleeve bushing on an interior of the housing, and a bearing arranged between the spindle and the sleeve bushing and rotatably supporting the spindle. The bearing has an outer race. The spindle is movable relative to the housing in response to contact with a workpiece, causing the first and second ratchets to engage and the spindle to reciprocate while rotating. The outer race of the bearing moves along the sleeve bushing during reciprocation of the spindle when the first ratchet and second ratchet are engaged.

An impact tool includes a switch for driving the tool accessory, an operation member configured to be movable between an OFF position and an ON position, a first lock member configured to lock the operation member in the ON position, a second lock member configured to be movable between a lock position and a lock-release position in response to an external operation by a user, and a holding mechanism configured to hold the second lock member in the lock position and also in the lock-release position. The second lock member in the lock position is capable of locking the operation member in the OFF position, and the second lock member in the lock-release position is incapable of locking the operation member in the OFF position.

Providing an electric tool with excellent cooling efficiency. An electric tool includes: a housing 2; a motor 3; a fan 34; a sensing portion 41; a switching portion 42; and a circuit board 40. The motor 3 is accommodated in the housing 2. The motor 3 includes a stator 33, a rotor 32, and a rotating shaft 31. The rotor 32 is rotatable relative to the stator 33. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatable together with the rotor 32. The fan 34 is configured to generate a cooling air flow inside the housing 2. The sensing portion 41 is configured to detect a rotated position of the rotor 32. The switching portion 41 controls a rotation of the rotor 32. The sensing portion 41 and the switching portion 42 are mounted on the circuit board 40. The stator 33, the fan 34, the sensing portion 41, the switching portion 42, and the circuit board 40 are arranged in the housing 2 along an axial direction of the rotor 32 in the order of the fan 34, the sensing portion 41, the circuit board 40, the switching portion 42, and the stator 33.

A power tool includes a motor disposed in a motor housing, a handle extending downward from the motor housing, a main switch provided on the handle and configured to switch the motor ON and OFF, and a state-changing operation part located on a lower portion of the motor housing or on an upper-end portion of the handle. The state-changing operation part is located upward of the main switch and is configured to effect a change of a rotational state of the motor, other than a direction of rotation of the motor, or an illumination level of a light.

An electric powered work machine in one aspect of the present disclosure includes a motor, a current-carrying path, a switching circuit, a circuit board, a metal case, and a heat radiation sheet. The circuit board includes a first surface, a second surface, a first hole group, a board conductive line, and a circuit arrangement area.

A power tool for chiseling and drilling includes a housing, a motor disposed inside the housing, and a pneumatic percussion mechanism. An operation mode selector switch is disposed on the housing and has a first operation mode setting and a second operation mode setting where the first operation mode setting activates the pneumatic percussion mechanism and the second operation mode setting deactivates the pneumatic percussion mechanism. A valve has an inlet-port formed inside the guiding tube and an outlet-port formed outside the guiding tube where the valve is connected to the operation mode selector switch. The valve is closed in the first operation mode setting which disables an air exchange between the inlet-port and the outlet-port and the valve is open in the second operation mode setting which enables the air exchange between the inlet-port and the outlet-port.
