Power tool and cover

A cover attached to a power tool so as to cover at least a part of a tip tool, the power tool including a motor, a power transmission mechanism connected to the motor, a housing that houses the motor and the power transmission mechanism, and a tip tool holder connected to the power transmission mechanism and holding the tip tool, the cover comprising:

• a fixed cover portion fixed to the housing;
• a movable cover portion movable with respect to the fixed cover portion;
• and
• an operation member mechanically connected to the movable cover portion and configured to move the movable cover portion with respect to the fixed cover portion,
• wherein
• the tip tool is rotatable around a rotation axis with respect to the housing,
• the operation member is movable with respect to the fixed cover portion along a sliding direction substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis,
• the movable cover portion is pivotable around a pivot axis substantially parallel to the rotation axis with respect to the fixed cover portion,
• one of the operation member and the movable cover portion includes a cam groove,
• the other of the operation member and the movable cover portion includes a cam protrusion slidable inside the cam groove, and
• when the operation member is moved with respect to the fixed cover portion in the sliding direction, the movable cover portion pivots around the pivot axis.
