A latch mechanism for a power tool such as a hedge trimmer having a housing (103) accommodating a motor and a handle assembly adapted to pivot relative to the housing between a plurality of positions is disclosed. The latch mechanism includes a lever (210) carrying a first retaining member (181) for movement relative to the housing (103) between an engaging condition to engage the handle assembly to releasably retain the housing relative to the handle assembly, and a retracted condition for allowing pivotal movement of the housing (103) relative to the handle assembly. A second retaining member (182) is movable relative to the housing (103) between an engaging position to engage the handle assembly to releasably retain the housing (103) in position relative to the handle assembly, and a retracted condition for allowing pivotal movement of the housing (103) relative to the handle assembly. The retaining members (181), (182) are biased towards their engaging conditions by means of a spring (186). An interlock member (214) on lever (210) cooperates with an arm member (163) to prevent disengagement of the first (181) and second (182) retaining members from the handle assembly when the motor is actuated, and for preventing actuation of the motor when the first (181) or second (182) retaining member is in a retracted condition
