<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hedge trimmer formed so as to easily laterally shift a collection box for collecting branches and leaves. ??<P>SOLUTION: This hedge trimmer 1 is so formed that the collection box 3 is rotatably fixed with a fixing means to a blade holder 6 or a holder guide 7 grasping a cutting blade 5. As a result, when shifting the collection box 3, for instance, from the right side to the left side of the hedge trimmer 1, since the collection box 3 is held by engaging a projecting part 9 with a hole 10, force is applied to a base part 3a of the collection box 3 to release the engagement of the projecting part 9 and the hole 10 against the elastic force, and then the collection box 3 is rotated around the fixing means 8 and moved to the left side of the hedge trimmer 1, and the projecting part 9 is engaged with the other hole 10. ??<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT ??
