Abstract: A walk-behind mower has a mower deck, a plurality of wheels, a head, and a plurality of light sources. The wheels are rotatably coupled to the mower deck. The wheels move the walk-behind mower over a support surface in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The head is coupled to the mower deck. The head can store at least one battery pack. The light sources are coupled to at least one of the mower deck and the head. The light sources project light through a continuous illumination angle about the walk-behind mower. The illumination angle extends along an arc from the forward direction toward the rearward direction and is at least 90 degrees.

Abstract: An outdoor tool includes a powerhead, a tool unit powered by the powerhead, and a shaft assembly extending between the powerhead and the tool unit. The tool unit includes a transmission housing, a support plate, a guide bar adjustably supported by the support plate, a drive gear, and a chain circumscribing a portion of the drive gear and a portion of the guide bar, the drive gear operatively coupled to the powerhead. The tool unit further includes a tension adjustment mechanism for adjusting a position of the guide bar relative to the drive gear to increase and decrease a tension in the chain. The tension adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment screw, a threaded adjustment bolt, at least one adjustment gear, and a member coupled to the adjustment bolt and the guide bar. Rotation of the adjustment screw causes translation of the guide bar relative to the drive gear.

Abstract: A handheld cutting tool includes a motor, a driven gear coupled to the motor and a sprocket coupled for co-rotation with the driven gear, a housing, a guide bar extending from the housing, a chain supported on the guide bar and engaged with the sprocket such that rotation of the sprocket moves the chain along the guide bar, and a battery pack removably coupled to the housing, the battery pack including a foot portion defining a base plane. The center of gravity of the handheld cutting tool is located above the foot portion when the handheld cutting tool is stood upright on the foot portion, thus permitting the handheld cutting tool to balance only on the foot portion of the battery pack.

Abstract: A cultivator tool includes a power head having a handle and a user interface. A motor is positioned within the power head and is configured to rotate a drive shaft about a drive axis. The cultivator further includes an attachment stem removably coupled to the power head at a first end and removably supporting a tool attachment unit at an opposite second end. A cover is receivable on the attachment stem between the tool attachment unit and the power head to cover a cutter rotatably supported on the tool attachment unit. The cover includes an aperture configured to receive a projection extending from the stem to limit rotation and sliding of the cover relative the tool attachment unit.

Abstract: An outdoor tool includes a powerhead unit and an attachment unit. The powerhead unit includes a motor, a housing assembly housing the motor and including a handle portion, and a first shaft segment supported within the housing assembly and extending along a shaft axis to a first connecting portion. The powerhead unit also includes a first driveshaft segment coupled to the motor and extending within the first shaft segment, a switch supported within the handle portion and operable to activate the motor, and a trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a trigger configured to selectively actuate the switch, a first lock-off member, and a second lock-off member. The attachment unit is selectively couplable to and powered by the powerhead unit.
The attachment unit includes an operational unit configured to be driven by the motor, a second shaft segment, and a second connecting portion.
