A dust collector that is configured to receive a first battery pack and a second battery pack in a detachable manner, the dust collector comprising:
- a motor having a rotation axis in a vertical direction;
- and
- a body housing (i) containing the motor and (ii) including:
- a first battery compartment (i) frontward from the motor in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the vertical direction and leftward from the motor in a left-right direction perpendicular to the vertical and front-rear directions, (ii) having a first body opening facing frontward, and (iii) including a first battery mount configured to guide the first battery pack in the front-rear direction as the first battery pack is attached to and detached from the first battery mount through the first body opening;
- a second battery compartment (i) frontward and rightward from the motor, (ii) having a second body opening facing frontward, and (iii) including a second battery mount configured to guide the second battery pack in the front-rear direction as the second battery pack is attached to and detached from the second battery mount through the second body opening;
- a battery cover (i) supported on the body housing in a vertically pivotable manner and (ii) including:
- a cover portion including a first cover portion configured to cover the first body opening and a second cover portion configured to cover the second body opening;
- and
- a cover opening;
- and
- a switch base (i) between the first body opening and the second body opening in the left-right direction, (ii) bearing a main power switch and (iii) configured to be exposed through the cover opening when the battery cover is closed,
- wherein an entirety of the switch base is directly between the first battery compartment and the second battery compartment in the left-right direction.
