Power tool

摘要

A power tool is provided which includes a main housing containing a motor for driving a working element and a hollow handle connected to the housing. An actuator paddle is mounted for pivotable movement relative to the handle and is pivotable between (1) an open position wherein the motor is disabled and (2) a closed position wherein the motor is activated to drive the working element. With the paddle in the closed position, release of the paddle causes the paddle to return to the open position to disable the motor. A locking member is mounted to the paddle to be movable therewith whereby with the paddle in the closed position the member is capable of maintaining the paddle in the closed position when the paddle is released.
