Power tool having rotary hammer mechanism

A power tool having a rotary hammer mechanism, comprising:

• a motor;
• a driving mechanism that is configured to operate by power of the motor in an action mode that is selected from a plurality of action modes including a first mode of at least rotationally driving a tool accessory around a driving axis and a second mode of only linearly driving the tool accessory along the driving axis;
• a tool body that houses the motor and the driving mechanism;
• a handle having a grip part that extends in a direction crossing the driving axis and is configured to be held by a user;
• a first operation member that (i) is on the tool body, (ii) faces the grip part, and (iii) is configured to (a) be manually operated by the user to change the action mode of the driving mechanism, (b) be slidable within a predetermined range in a direction crossing the driving axis, (c) change the action mode of the driving mechanism to the first mode when moved to a first position within the predetermined range, and (d) change the action mode of the driving mechanism to the second mode when moved to a second position different from the first position within the predetermined range;
• a tool holder that is configured to removably hold the tool accessory and to be rotationally driven around the driving axis by torque transmitted from the motor;
• a clutch member that is (i) on the tool holder, (ii) movable along the driving axis in response to the operation of the first operation member, and (iii) configured to transmit the torque when the clutch member is in a third position in a direction along the driving axis and to interrupt the torque transmission when the clutch member is in a fourth position different from the third position in the direction along the driving axis;
• and
• a transmitting mechanism that is configured to transmit sliding movement of the first operation member within the predetermined range to the clutch member to move the clutch member along the driving axis, wherein:
• the driving mechanism is configured to operate in the first mode when the clutch member is in the third position, and to operate in the second mode when the clutch member is in the fourth position;
• and
• the transmitting mechanism includes a converting mechanism that is configured to convert linear sliding movement of the first operation member within the predetermined range into rotating motion and further convert the rotating motion into linear motion along the driving axis.

• a handle having a grip part that extends in a first direction crossing the driving axis and is configured to be held by a user;
• a first operation member that (i) is on the tool body, (ii) directly faces the grip part in a second direction parallel to the driving axis with no structure between the grip part and the first operation member, (iii) is configured to be manually operated by the user to select the action mode of the driving mechanism between at least the first mode and the second mode, and (iv) is configured to be manually slid in a third direction, perpendicular to both the first and second directions,
• a clutch member that is movable along the driving axis in response to operation of the first operation member and configured to transmit torque;
• and
• a transmitting mechanism that is configured to transmit linear sliding movement of the first operation member to move the clutch member along the driving axis.
