Power tool
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a power tool including: a wheel guard detachably attached to an attachment portion of the power tool; a fastening portion connected to the wheel guard; and a manipulation lever connected to the fastening portion at one end thereof so that the fastening portion is fastened to or released from the attachment portion by operating the manipulation lever, wherein the manipulation lever is moved to a first position in which the fastening portion is fixed to the attachment portion and to a second position in which the fastening portion is pivotable with respect to the attachment portion, and wherein, when the manipulation lever is positioned at the first position, the other end of the manipulation lever is positioned at an outer circumference of the wheel guard.
1. A power tool comprising:
a wheel guard that is detachably attached to an attachment portion of the power tool having a tool bit that is driven to rotate;
a fastening portion that is connected to the wheel guard; and
a manipulation lever that is connected to the fastening portion at one end of the manipulation lever so that the fastening portion is fastened to or released from the attachment portion by operating the manipulation lever,
wherein the manipulation lever is moved to a first position in which the fastening portion is fixed to the attachment portion and to a second position in which the fastening portion is pivotable with respect to the attachment portion,
wherein, when the manipulation lever is positioned at the first position, the other end of the manipulation lever is positioned at an outer circumference of the wheel guard,
wherein the fastening portion has a projection portion extending therefrom in a direction approximately perpendicular to the attachment portion, and
wherein the projection portion comes into contact with an object material to isolate the manipulation lever therefrom.
2. The power tool according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fastening portion is connected to the wheel guard by a threading member, and
wherein the fastening portion has a guide portion that is provided to restrict a movement of the manipulation lever in a threading direction of the threading member.
3. The power tool according to claim 1 further comprising:
an attachment-detachment lever that is provided to the fastening portion or the wheel guard,
wherein the attachment-detachment lever is operated to attach or detach the wheel guard.
4. The power tool according to claim 3 ,
wherein, to attach or detach the wheel guard, the attachment-detachment lever is operated after the manipulation lever is operated.
5. The power tool according to claim 3 ,
wherein a latch margin of the attachment-detachment lever with respect to the fastening portion is set large enough for the wheel guard to not be detached when the attachment-detachment lever is unintendedly moved.
6. A power tool comprising:
a tool bit configured to be driven to rotate;
a wheel guard that is detachably attached to an attachment shaft of the power tool;
a fastening band that is connected to the wheel guard; and
a manipulation lever that is connected to the fastening band at one end of the manipulation lever so that the fastening band is fastened to or released from the attachment shaft by operating the manipulation lever,
wherein the manipulation lever extends along a front surface of the wheel guard to an outer side surface of the wheel guard in a radial direction of the wheel guard and further extends downward in a direction of the attachment shaft and along the outer side surface of the wheel guard.
7. The power tool according to claim 6 ,
wherein the manipulation lever is positioned upper to a lower end portion of the wheel guard.
