(54) Electric power tool


(57) An electric power tool has an electric motor disposed in a main body (12) and a power supply circuit electrically connected to the electric motor by wires to supply electric power to the electric motor. A switch is disposed in the power supply circuit so as to electrically open and close the power supply circuit. A movable member (26) is supported by the main body (12), a detector is disposed in the main body to detect a movement of the movable member (26) and the switch is configured to electrically open the power supply circuit when the detector detects the movement of the movable member (26). The wires connected to the electric motor are not connected to the detector so that the length of the wires is shortened.
