Abstract

A structure for preventing the falling of a fastening nut of a portable power working machine that can reliably prevent loss of the nut while suppressing the production and component costs, allows for easy operation of attaching a nut anchor member to a cover, and can increase the maintenance property, suppress damage and failures, increase the durability, and reduce the size and weight; and a method for attaching the fastening nut to a cover are provided. The structure includes a nut locking member, which is inserted through a bolt insertion hole from a back surface side of a cover so that movement of the nut locking member to a front surface side is prevented, and has a split cylindrical shape with elastically deformable leg-like piece portions; an anchoring cylindrical portion with a predetermined length functioning as a nut anchor member, the anchoring cylindrical portion being provided in a protruding manner and coaxially with the nut on a seating surface side, being adapted to be inserted through the bolt insertion hole, and being relatively difficult to elastically deform with respect to the nut locking member. A protruding end of the anchoring cylindrical portion of the nut…
