Switch-operating mechanism

Abstract

The present invention relates to a switch-operating mechanism. In particular, the present invention relates to a switch-operating mechanism for a power tool, such as a pruning tool. Described is a switch-operating mechanism for a powered tool including a working head having first and second cutter members. The switch-operating mechanism further includes a lever moveable between first, second, and third operative positions. In operation, positioning of the lever in the first operative position provides a ‘power off mode’ in which the power supply is disconnected; movement of the lever into the second operative position causes the at least one of the cutter members to move to a first blade position; and movement of the lever into the third operative position causes the at least one of the cutter members to move to a second blade position.
