Abstract
Power-driven work tool including a shank (2, 3), a drive motor (4), and a working tool (1) driven by the motor. The working tool is rotatable around at least one axis perpendicular to the shank by a controller (8). The controller is attached to the shank and connected to the working tool or a bracket thereof by a wire or rod (10), which transmits pulling or pushing force. The motor (4) is at one end of the shank (2, 3) and adapted to drive the working tool (1) provided at the other end of the shank via a drive shaft extending through the shank. The shank is provided at the end thereof connected to the working tool with a hinge (6) for angular movement of the working means, and the drive shaft provided in the shank (2, 3) is connected to the working tool via a flexible shaft extending through the hinge (6).
