Abstract: An electric working machine includes an inverter and a controller. The controller switches a current conduction pattern via the inverter and performs a PWM control of a conduction current to a brushless motor. The controller includes switching patterns as the current conduction pattern switched for every commutation timing. The switching patterns include different on and off states for different switching elements. The controller sequentially switches a switching pattern synchronously with a period of the PWM control, detects a rotational position of a brushless motor from a magnitude relation between inductances of the brushless motor produced by switching the switching pattern, and sets the commutation timing.
