Earth auger
A hole is formed in a drill target with improved workability. An electric work machine includes a motor, a motor housing accommodating the motor, a handle housing including a grip including a trigger switch operable to activate the motor, a reducer, a gear housing accommodating the reducer, a rotation output unit protruding frontward from the gear housing and rotatable under a rotational force transmitted from the motor through the reducer with a drill bit being attached to the rotation output unit, and a handle fastened to the gear housing and at least partially located laterally from the gear housing.
1. An earth auger, comprising:
a motor;
a motor housing accommodating the motor;
a handle housing including a grip including a trigger switch operable to activate the motor;
a reducer;
a gear housing accommodating the reducer;
a rotation output unit protruding frontward from the gear housing, the rotation output unit being rotatable under a rotational force transmitted from the motor through the reducer with a drill bit being attached to the rotation output unit; and
a handle fastened to the gear housing and at least partially located laterally from the gear housing,
wherein
with the motor housing located above the gear housing, the gear housing has a lower end flush with at least a part of the handle, and
with the lower end of the gear housing in contact with a ground, the handle is at least partially in contact with the ground.
2. The earth auger according to claim 1 , wherein
the handle is at least partially located laterally from the gear housing to receive a reaction force transmitted from the rotation output unit to the gear housing.
3. The earth auger according to claim 1 , wherein the handle is loop-shaped.
4. The earth auger according to claim 1 , wherein the handle includes
a straight portion extending laterally from the gear housing, and a hand guard located below the straight portion.
5. The earth auger according to claim 1 , wherein the handle includes
a bend curved downward at a farther distance from the gear housing, and
a straight portion extending laterally from the gear housing below the bend.
6. The earth auger according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a contact member located below of the rotation output unit.
7. The earth auger according to claim 6 , wherein
the contact member is at least partially located laterally from the gear housing.
8. The earth auger according to claim 6 , wherein
the contact member is fastened to the gear housing.
9. An earth auger, comprising:
a motor;
a motor housing accommodating the motor;
a handle housing including a grip including a trigger switch operable to activate the motor;
a reducer;
a gear housing accommodating the reducer;
a rotation output unit protruding frontward from the gear housing, the rotation output unit being rotatable under a rotational force transmitted from the motor through the reducer with a drill bit being attached to the rotation output unit; and
a handle fastened to the gear housing and at least partially located laterally from the gear housing,
wherein
with a lower end of the gear housing in contact with a ground, the handle is at least partially in contact with the ground, and
the handle includes
a straight portion extending laterally from the gear housing, and
a hand guard located below the straight portion.
10. An earth auger, comprising:
a motor;
a motor housing accommodating the motor;
a handle housing including a grip including a trigger switch operable to activate the motor, the handle housing disposed above the motor housing;
a reducer;
a gear housing accommodating the reducer, the gear housing disposed below the motor housing;
a rotation output unit protruding frontward from the gear housing, the rotation output unit being rotatable under a rotational force transmitted from the motor through the reducer with a drill bit being attached to the rotation output unit; and
a loop-shaped handle disposed on a right side or a left side of the gear housing, the loop-shaped handle including an additional grip extending in a vertical direction.
