PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a power working machine and a backpack type power working machine equipped with a vibration damping device capable of preventing close contact between lines of a compression coil spring and exhibiting excellent vibration damping performance. A compression coil spring (15) interposed between a drive source (8) and a mounting portion (5) is provided on the drive source (8) side or one side of the mounting portion (5) inside the compression coil spring (15) before the compression lines closely contact each other. Since the arranged rubber material 19 abuts on the drive source 8 side or the other side of the mounting portion 5, close contact between the compression coil springs 15 is prevented, and the excellent vibration damping performance of the compression coil springs 15 is brought out, and at the same time the drive is performed. The impact caused when the source 8 side or the other side of the mounting portion 5 contacts the rubber material 19 is absorbed by the rubber material 19, and as a result, excellent vibration damping performance can be exhibited.
