## Abstract

A garden tool includes a power assembly comprising an internal combustion engine having a starter motor; a battery pack for supplying power to the starter motor; a connecting rod assembly having two ends; a working head assembly, the working head assembly and the power assembly being respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting rod assembly; and a handle assembly including two handles. One of the handles is on a left side of the connecting rod assembly, and another of the handles is on a right side of the connecting rod assembly. The battery pack is detachably assembled on at least one of the handles.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A garden tool, comprising:
a power assembly including an internal combustion engine having a starter motor;
a battery pack for supplying power to the starter motor;
a connecting rod assembly having two ends;
a working head assembly, the working head assembly and the power assembly being respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting rod assembly;
a handle assembly including two handles, one of the handles being on a left side of the connecting rod assembly and another of the handles being on a right side of the connecting rod assembly, at least one of the handles including a grip portion and a battery pack mounting portion, the battery pack being detachably connected to the battery pack mounting portion;
an accommodating chamber defined by the battery pack mounting portion, the battery pack being mounted on the battery pack mounting portion by being at least partially received in the accommodating chamber, the accommodating chamber defining an opening facing forward; and
a circuit board disposed adjacent to the accommodating chamber, the circuit board including a substrate and an electrode holder disposed on a side of the substrate facing the accommodating chamber, the electrode holder including a clamping pin extending into the accommodating chamber.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The garden tool according to claim 1, wherein an upper end of the grip portion of at least one of the handles includes a control portion having at least one control key.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The garden tool according to claim 2, when the control portion includes an operation portion, and the control key is arranged on the operation portion, the control key including a start key and the operation portion further including a cover body capable of at least partially shielding the start key from being operated, the cover body being configured to be openable via an external force so that the start key can be operated.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The garden tool according to claim 3, wherein the cover is pivotally connected to the operation portion, and a reset element is located between the cover body and the operation portion, the reset element urging the cover body to move in a direction that would shield the start key.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The garden tool according to claim 1, wherein the handle on the right side of the connecting rod assembly includes a control portion and the battery pack mounting portion.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The garden tool according to claim 5, wherein the handle on the right side of the connecting rod assembly includes the grip portion, a front of the grip portion being spaced from a front shield plate, and a gap sized for a hand of an operator to pass through being formed between the grip portion and the front shield plate.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The garden tool according to claim 5, wherein the control portion is connected to an upper end of the grip portion, the battery pack mounting portion being connected to a lower end of the grip portion.

### Claim 8

A garden tool, comprising:
a power assembly comprising an internal combustion engine having a starter motor;
a battery pack for supplying power to the starter motor;
a connecting rod assembly having two ends;
a working head assembly, the working head assembly and the power assembly being respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting rod assembly;
a handle assembly including two handles, one of the handles being on a left side of the connecting rod assembly, and another of the handles being on a right side of the connecting rod assembly, the battery pack being detachably assembled on at least one of the handles;
an accommodating chamber defined by a battery pack mounting portion on at least one of the handles, the battery pack being mounted on the battery pack mounting portion by being at least partially received in the accommodating chamber, the accommodating chamber defining an opening facing forward; and
a circuit board disposed adjacent to the accommodating chamber, the circuit board including a substrate and an electrode holder disposed on a side of the substrate facing the accommodating chamber, the electrode holder including a clamping pin extending into the accommodating chamber.
