Claim 3:
4. A working machine comprising:
a housing;
a motor accommodated in the housing;
an operating element which is a part of the housing, the operating element being movable between an ON position and an OFF position, the motor being driven when the operating element is in the ON position, the motor being stopped when the operating element is in the OFF position, the operating element being switchable between a restricted state and a permitted state, movement of the operating element from the OFF position to the ON position being restricted when the operating element is in the restricted state and movement of the operating element from the OFF position to the ON position being permitted when the operating element is in the permitted state; and
an on-locking element provided in the housing so as to be movable between an on-lock position and an on-lock release position, the on-locking element maintaining the operating element in the ON position when the on-locking element is in the on-lock position, the on-locking element allowing the operating element to be movable when the on-locking element is in the on-lock release position;
wherein the movement of the operating element from the OFF position to the ON position moves the operating element relative to the on-locking element, and
wherein the on-locking element is more exposed from the housing when the operating element is in the permitted state than when the operating element is in the restricted state, such that the on-locking element becomes operable by an operator when the operating element is in the permitted state.
