Electric scissors includes two blade sections, a power source, a manipulating member and an unlock switch. The power source operates to close at least one of the two blade sections. The manipulating member controls an operation of the power source. The unlock switch is provided separately from the manipulating member. The electric scissors are configured to be in a locked state which nullifies the operation of the power source and a standby state in which the power source is operated by manipulation of the manipulating member. When the manipulating member is manipulated at a predetermined timing in the locked state and when the unlock switch is manipulated at a predetermined timing in the locked state, the electric scissors are set in the standby state.
