In a hedge trimmer, a main body is configured of: a main body front portion on a front side (a side on which the cutting blade protrudes)； a main body rear portion on a rear side； and a supporting portion for connecting them on a lower side. One end of a main handle and the other end of the same are connected to an upper portion of the main body front portion on the rear end side and an upper portion of the main body rear portion on the front end side. The main handle has a linear shape in parallel to a longitudinal direction of a cutting blade. In this configuration, the main handle is set in substantially parallel to the supporting portion, and a grip space is formed between the main handle and the supporting portion.
