Abstract
A communication adapter 31 for conducting radio communication between a portable machining device 1 and a dust collector 40, such that the dust collector 40 may operate synchronously with the portable machining device 1 with respect to a start/stop operation when performing a cutting task is detachably incorporated in a handle 20 of the portable machining device 1. Because of this arrangement, a high level of dust-proof ability as well as ease of maneuverability in attaching and detaching the communication adapter 31 can be achieved.
Claims18
A portable machining, device that is configured to perform a cutting task by moving in a cut proceeding direction, comprising:
- a base having a first surface configured to contact a material to be cut;
- a machining device main body which is supported above a second surface of the base, the second surface being opposite the first surface;
- an adapter device (1) configured to communicate with an incidental device of the portable machining device and (2) that is removably provided in an interior of the machining device main body;
- and
- a handle that is formed integrally with the machining device main body, wherein:
- the machining device main body includes a cutting blade that is rotated by an electric motor serving as a drive source, the cutting blade (1) being configured to protrude below the first surface of the base and (2) having opposite side surfaces;
- the incidental device is started and stopped via communications between the adapter device and the incidental device in a manner such that the incidental device operates synchronously with a start and stop operation of the portable machining device;
- and
- the adapter device is removed from the machining device main body by moving the adapter device transversely to the opposing side surfaces of the cutting blade away from the cutting blade.
A portable machining device that is configured to perform a cutting task by moving in a cut proceeding direction, comprising:
- a base (1) with a rectangular flat plate shape and (2) having a first surface configured to contact a material to be cut;
- a machining device main body which is supported above a second surface of the base, the second surface being opposite the first surface;
- and
- a handle that is integrally formed with the machining device main body, wherein:
- the machining device main body includes a rotary cutting blade that is rotated by an electric motor serving as a drive source, the cutting blade being configured to protrude below a the first surface of the base;
- the machining device main body is configured to be swung in the up-to-down direction with respect to the cut proceeding direction about a swing fulcrum, such that a cutting depth of the cutting blade with respect to the base can be changed;
- the portable machining device further comprises a detachable adapter device configured to facilitate communications between the portable machining device and a remotely provided incidental device;
- the adapter device has a rectangular prismatic body and is provided to fit within the interior of the machining main body;
- the incidental device is started and stopped via communications between the adapter device and the incidental device in a manner such that the incidental device operates synchronously with a start and stop operation of the portable machining device;
- and
- the adapter device is removed from the machining device main body by moving the adapter device transversely to opposing side surfaces of the cutting blade away from the cutting blade.
