PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a snow blower in which operability can be further improved. SOLUTION: An operating means 40 of the snow blower 10 comprises an operation handle 52 which is freely movable in a fore-aft direction of the machine body and is freely rotatable, right and left grip parts 55, 56 mounted on the operation handle 52 by the intermediary of arms, a movement amount detecting means 61 for detecting the amount of the sliding movement and transmitting it to a control part 42 when the operation handle 52 is moved in the fore-aft direction of the machine body, and a rotation amount detecting means 62 for detecting the rotation amount and transmitting it to the control part 42 when the operation handle 52 is rotated. Based on the signals from the detecting means 61, 62, control signals are transmitted from the control part 42 to right and left electric motors, whereby the speed of forward and backward movement and rotating movement of the machine body are regulated.
