PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems in a bush cutter with the substantial length capable of being adjusted by relatively displacing an operating rod in which slack occurs by relative displacement of the operating rod in the electrical wiring wired in an inner circumferential side of the operating rod, and conventionally, the slack of the electrical wiring is sandwiched in the rear end of the operating rod and there is a risk of being damaged, and therefore the present invention prevents a slack portion of the electrical wiring from being sandwiched in the operating rod.SOLUTION: Electrical wiring 60 drawn out from the end of an operating rod 30 is held in a power supply housing 21 with a wiring holding part 25, and is routed in a loop shape of being intersected at least one time with a loop storage part 27 provided between the wiring holding part 25 and the end of the operating rod 30. Slack is absorbed by a loop type routing part R, and is prevented from being sandwiched in the end of the operating rod.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】操作棹を相対変位させてその実質的な長さを調整可能な刈払い機において、操作棹の内周側に配線した電気配線には操作棹の相対変位により弛みが発生する。従来、電気配線の弛みが操作棹の後端部で挟み込まれて損傷を受けるおそれがあった。本発明は、電気配線の弛み部分が操作棹で挟み込まれないようにする。【解決手段】給電部ハウジング21に、操作棹30の端部から引き出された電気配線60を配線保持部25で保持し、配線保持部25と操作棹30の端部との間に設けたループ収容部27で少なくとも1回交差させたループ形に取り回す。ループ形取り回し部Rにより弛みを吸収して操作棹の端部で挟み込まれないようにする。【選択図】図3
