Abstract
Various work machines in which safety of operation and operation efficiency can be enhanced in accordance with variation in the kind of operation and operation condition when operation is carried out based on a previously set operation mode of an operation machine, and operation speed of the operation machine or running speed of the work machine can finely be adjusted is provided. The work machine comprises mode switching means having a mode switching switch and the like of operation modes of one or more operation machines. A speed finely-adjusting switch is disposed for finely adjusting an operation speed and/or a running speed to values out of range set in each mode by manual operation. An engine, a pump, a flow rate adjusting valve disposed in a driving circuit of one or more operation machine and running motor and the like are operated by a signal output by operating the speed finely-adjusting switch, and the engine revolution number and the pump discharge amount are adjusted. Even under an environment in which operation range is changed or an obstruction may exist, it is possible to effectively obtain optimal operation mode of the operation machine suitable for the kind of ope…
