Abstract

The invention relates to an adjusting device, which includes a lifting device for adjusting a position of an attachment in use and a locking mechanism. The lifting device is switched between a locking position and a free position under a locking action of the locking mechanism, the lifting device drives the attachment to move to a first position when the lifting device is in the locking position; and the lifting device drives the attachment to move to a second position so as to work when the lifting device is in the free position. The adjusting device of the present invention has a simple structure, a low production cost, an easy maintenance, and a garden tool using the adjusting device can conveniently and quickly adjust the position of the attachment connected to the garden tool.

Claims (23)
