PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a cutting blade cover taken off from a cutting blade when a bush cutter is used from being lost, to enable the cutting blade cover to be attached easily, and to heighten the versatility of the cutting blade cover.SOLUTION: The bush cutter is constituted as follows: the cutting blade cover 31 is formed into a flexible strap shape and keeps one end thereof in the longitudinal direction attached to a dispersion-preventing cover 21 to be freely turnable. The intermediate part of the cutting blade cover 31 in the longitudinal direction is hung over the outer periphery part of the cutting blade 14, and a clip 37 installed in the other end part in the longitudinal direction is attached to an operation rod 12 so that the cutting blade cover 31 may be attached to the cutting blade 14. When operating the bush cutter 11, the cutting blade cover 31 detached from the cutting blade 14 is extended from the dispersion-preventing cover 21 to the side of an engine along the operation rod 12, and the clip 37 is attached to the operation rod 12 so as to be attached to a bush cutter body 23.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】刈払機の使用時に刈刃から取り外された刈刃カバーの紛失を防止することと刈刃に刈刃カバーを容易に装着することができるようにし、さらに、刈刃カバーの汎用性を高めることである。【解決手段】刈刃カバー31を柔軟性を有するベルト状に形成し、その長手方向の一端を飛散防護カバー21に回動自在に取り付ける。刈刃カバー31の長手方向の中間部を刈刃14の外周部に掛け渡すとともに、長手方向の他方部に設けたクリップ37を操作棹12に取り付けて刈刃カバー31を刈刃14に装着する。刈払機11の作業時には、刈刃14から取り外した刈刃カバー31を飛散防護カバー21からエンジンの側に向けて操作棹12に沿って伸ばし、クリップ37を操作棹12に取り付けて刈払機本体23に装着する。【選択図】図8
