Abstract
A portable tool including a frame, a working element on the frame and a power unit for operating the working element. A switch on the frame switches between a first state, e.g., stop operation, and a second state, e.g., running operation. An actuator on the frame is repositionable relative to the frame to selectively change the switch from its first state into its second state and in a first path to change the switch from its first state into its second state. The actuator is mounted for movement relative to the frame in a second path that is different than the first path to change the switch from its first state into its second state.
