Abstract
An electrically-operated driver is constructed such that when a screw begins to be driven, axial movements of a bit is transmitted to a switch mounted on a reduction gear, which engages with a shaft of an electric motor, to turn on or off the switch. In the driver, a distance between the switch and a clutch bearing a thrust from the bit is made short so as to eliminate scattering in strokes required for actuating the switch, which scattering would be produced by axial accumulative errors of parts constituting an actuating mechanism for the switch. Accordingly, movements of the bit are transmitted to the switch with certainty to stably start and stop the motor of the electrically-operated driver.
