To provide a portable process
machine, in which a use feeling of a user can be improved.SOLUTION: A portable process
machine comprises a base, a cover part covering a
cutting tool at least partially, a main body part on which the
cutting tool is mounted, and an energizing member. The main body part is configured to be displaceable with respect to the base and the cover part, between a first position where the
cutting tool is wholly stored in the cover part and a second position where the
cutting tool is partially exposed out of the cover part. The main body part has a first contact part that can come into contact with the cover part, and the cover part has a second contact part that can come into contact with the main body part. The portable process
machine is configured so that the main body part is energized by the energizing member in a direction in which the part moves from the second position toward the first position and therefore the first contact part comes into contact with the second contact part, which enables the main body part to be positioned at the first position. At least either of the first contact part and the second contact part is formed of an elastic body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7
