Abstract
A lawn mower having a cutter housing made of a synthetic resin. The cutter housing has side guard parts provided on left and right peripheries of a scroll part. Each side guard part has a hollow reinforcing part. The hollow reinforcing part is made up of a side wall of the scroll part, an approximately horizontal guard wall formed on the side wall, and a connecting rib connecting together the guard wall and the side wall. The reinforcing part makes the cutter housing resistant to impacts from the sides and to bending with respect to its length direction.
