Abstract

An electric power tool includes a relay, an electric circuit, and an operation member. The relay has a coil, contacts, and an on-switch. The relay is configured such that the coil is energized when contacts are closed by an on-switch being pressed, and contacts are held in a closed state by an electromagnetic force of coil when coil is energized. In the electric circuit, electric power from power source is supplied to motor and coil of relay, and contacts are connected in series between power source and motor. The operation member is configured to move in reciprocating manner between tool stop position at which the motor stops and tool drive position which the motor runs, where the operation member is configured to locate away from on-switch of the relay at the tool drive position and configured to press the on-switch at a position other than tool drive position.
