A foreign matter detecting mechanism of electric scissors detects pinching of a foreign matter in the electric scissors. The electric scissors have blade sections which are interlocked with a rotation of a motor. The mechanism includes a foreign matter detecting unit. The foreign matter detecting unit detects that the blade sections pinch the foreign matter. The foreign matter detecting unit detects the foreign matter based on torque information of the motor.提供一種電動剪之異物檢測機構,該電動剪之異物檢測機構係即使不設置專用之感測器或電路,亦可防止鐵絲之誤切斷。係包括與馬達12之轉動連動之刃部18、19的電動剪10,檢測出夾入異物之電動剪10的異物檢測機構,其包括偵測刃部18、19夾入異物之異物偵測手段;藉該異物偵測手段之異物的偵測係根據該馬達12之扭力資訊所執行。S100‧‧‧檢測出觸發器操作,馬達驅動S101‧‧‧取得馬達之轉動量S102‧‧‧取得馬達之扭力資訊S103‧‧‧偵測到異物嗎?S104‧‧‧檢測出閉合位置嗎?S105‧‧‧使馬達停止S106‧‧‧錯誤處理
